Those speakers are not magnetically shielded. That is not a problem as long
as you keep them away from the compass...e.g. 5 feet or so.

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

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.

I hope he doesn't put hole through the hull anywhere on the boat for this
speaker installation. ;-)
