Collection: Entertainment & Audio

Start with how you use your boat and where you want sound coverage. Consider the stereo or source unit, number and size of speakers, amplifier requirements, subwoofers, available installation space, power requirements, connectivity, and whether you want separate audio zones. Components should also be appropriate for the marine environment.

Marine speakers are designed for environments where equipment may be exposed to moisture, UV rays, salt, temperature changes, and vibration. Depending on the product, marine speakers may use corrosion-resistant components, water-resistant construction, UV-resistant materials, and protective grilles suited for use aboard a boat.

Compare the speaker's impedance and power-handling specifications with the amplifier's output at the corresponding impedance. Also consider how many speakers will be connected to each channel and how the system will be wired. Follow the manufacturers' specifications when matching components.

Often, yes. You may be able to replace individual components such as the stereo, speakers, amplifier, subwoofer, or remote. Before upgrading, check dimensions, wiring, impedance, power requirements, connectors, and compatibility with the equipment you plan to keep.
