This is pretty funny, as Mark Ransley posted in another group as if he knew the answers to these questions. Mark argues that regular car stereo equipment is exactly the same as marine equipment. He's trolling here in hopes that someone who doesn't really know any better will agree with him. I didn't read it that way at all. He did seem to be punctuation challenged. You seem to be the perpetual troll here. I might believe that marine units have extra waterproofing, and often WX channels, but I've been much happier with standard auto equipment, and never had a failure. Currently I use a Sony with a CD changer and a wired remote in the cockpit. Cockpit speakers, of course, must be weatherproof. I've usually used outdoor speakers down below, although modern speaker cones don't absorb water the way old one did. |

I don't know anything about anything yet, but am doing alot of reading up.
I ran into this article about installing stereo. Thought I'd share. http://www.iboats.com/sites/trailerb..._page_144.html Kathy M. "Larry W4CSC" wrote in message ...

NOTHING is "sealed". It's a rip! Call 1-888-920-3332, digitalfotoclub.com in NYC, and order the $250 JVC KD-SX990 for $133 ($103 after $30 rebate plus some shipping). Best price I found. Great stereo, plays any MP3 CD-R I can produce and switches to MP3 mode fast. CD player is behind the fold-down front panel with pretty colored display. It's also the cheapest unit I found that would read the MP3 ID3 tags in any version, right out of the box. If you have an external player, computer, etc., you can plug it into the 1/8" stereo phone jack in the front of the panel and hold down the CD button for 3 seconds to switch to AUX mode. Play your fav MP3 player, like my Archos Studio 20 MP3 hard disk player, through the boat's stereo speakers. Worked great at the Christmas Parade of Boats party aboard Lionheart all night Saturday night.....(c; Screw those half-assed, cheapskate "boat" stereos with no features and crappy interfaces. It's nonsense. Buy waterproof speakers for the cockpit, though..... Larry W4CSC NNNN |
Stereo choice?
I looked at the JVC 990 that someone recommended - did not like having
to flip down the front to slide in a CD. Need - CD slot w/o flipping down the front plays MP3 CD's - with good navigation aux in jack on front wireless remote control true resume so I can listen to MP3 books on CD no Sony products Any fits? |

If you convert your CD collection to MP3s, you can put 12 hours of
music on ONE CD-R the JVC990 will play. Gives new meaning to "shuffle". It's like having your own radio station, anywhere on the planet....(c; On Tue, 09 Dec 2003 14:19:18 -0800, Jessie wrote: I looked at the JVC 990 that someone recommended - did not like having to flip down the front to slide in a CD.
