Some folks recommend a minimum of 3 meters or ten feet
separation. Wouldn't hurt to conduct a test. Probably best
done with the boat out of the water so it can't move during
the test.

May not be a problem at all on a landlocked river, but other
readers might be more concerned about the effects of strong
onboard magnets on offshore navigation. Some modern speakers
have amazingly powerful magnets.

They are, actually... though we're usually only on a landlocked river....

Before you cut into the boat, are the speakers magnetically shielded so
as not to interfere with your compass?
