Design A Marine Sound System

You can transfer the endowment of your vehivle or at rest audio method to your boat. Marine audio is a relatively inexperienced bazaar, however many van stereo products can be bought and used on a boat. Some van audio manufacturers besides approach specialized products for boats.


Instructions


1. Include a CD changer so that you can listen to CDs when you don't run the boat so hard. A changer offers better suspension than a CD player, so it can take bumps better in any case.11. Subwoofers can force in the compartment under the seats. The radio can alter the aboriginal radio. Midrange and midbass speakers and tweeters can fit into the side panels or under the sprint.


2. Holding photos of the locations you choose and degree the size. This Testament benefit you choose products that Testament fit in the areas you gain selected.


3. Assign elsewhere the development. Fix upon where you intend to lay all the components and decide how you Testament route the wires.


4. Contact manufacturers, such as Eclipse, Rockford Fosgate and Alpine, who propoundment marine audio products and quiz them for retailer recommendations.


5. Capitalization the manufacturers' recommendations to choose three to five shops in your world to enquire.


6. Enjoin Everyone shop approximately its forbearance with selling and installing marine audio products. Ask to see the shop's photo album. If they have one, it may include photos of installations they did on boats. Ask the salesperson or an installer about those installations and discuss details.


7. Choose speakers that have a polypropylene cone. Polypropylene is a rigid material that resists moisture. You can use at least two 10-inch subwoofers. The speakers should be designed for infinite baffle mounting. You can include four speaker separates - either four 6- by 9-inch two-way speakers or four 6 1/2-inch two-way speakers. A two-way speaker includes a midrange or midbass speaker and a tweeter. The more separates you have, the louder the system will be.


8. Select a four-channel amplifier that has a specially treated circuit board that enables it to last longer in a marine environment. Rockford, Eclipse and Clarion offer such amplifiers. The amplifier will run hot, so choose one that is stable at a 2 ohm load. Also select an amplifier that has a built-in electronic crossover.


9. Select a cassette player with compact-disc (CD) changer controls that can be commanded by an infrared remote control. This allows you to tuck the unit in a dry place, cover it in plastic and still control it. (Keep in mind that an infrared remote control needs a line of sight to the head unit.) A cassette player can take the harsh bumps better than a CD player when you want to run the boat hard.


10. Survey your boat. Establish areas where audio products can be placed absent from the hose. Amplifiers can be placed in the engine compartment in the rear of the boat or under the dashboard.


Include a second battery to power the audio system and upgrade the boat's alternator.
