• Make sure you get marine speakers – You want to be sure that your speakers are not just protected from splashing on the boat but also from general corrosion due to being out on the water all the time. Weatherproofing is a must.
• Keep it integrated – You don’t want wires hanging out on your boat that can both get wet and trip up your passengers.
• Use a professional installer – The best way to ensure that you get the maximum benefits from your system is to have it professionally installed. A professional installer will use the right equipment and ensure the system is installed as it would if your boat came from the factory with your new sound system. This will also allow you to get the maximum value on your investment both in quality and in how long your system lasts.

• Look for the word Marine, not Marinized – Marinized equipment has circuitry that has been sprayed with a coating to protect it from liquids. But this is not a long-term solution, and it’s not ideal for use on a boat.
• Use marine wiring – You can get the best speakers, amps, and head unit, but if your wires corrode, you’re still going to end up needing to do repairs.
• Look for an IPX of 6 or more – A 6 means that equipment has been blasted with pressurized water to ensure that it is actually water-resistant. A 7 rating means that equipment is tested with full submersion to offer even better protection.
• Don’t skimp on your sub – There’s no way to create great acoustics when your ceiling is the sky and the water is sending everyone else’s noise your way. A great sub is the best way to ensure you can enjoy your music.

• The difference is clear – When you are out on the open water, a marine sound system, installed by professional installers, is going to make a huge difference in sound quality.
• Your audio system is protected – A good marine sound system that has been installed properly is going to withstand the elements for many years to come. Don’t take a chance on inferior products that may not hold up to the water as well.
• Integration looks better – You want your sounds system to look and feel professionally installed so your guests are not shaking their head wondering why you tried it yourself or took your boat to an amateur for installation.
• It’s not as expensive as you think – You may be thinking that a new sounds system for your boat is just a dream, but you never know until you get a quote. The marine speakers you want may be within your budget after all.

1. Prioritize your upgrades – If you don’t have the money to upgrade the entire system at once, you can start by just upgrading the speakers. That will give you a great boost in quality and volume right away. Be sure to choose a reputable company for your marine speakers such as JL Audio.
2. Add in the extras – When you can afford it, start to add in things like amplifiers and subwoofers. This will help to round out your sound and will allow you to host that party you want out on the bay in style.
3. Find a professional installer – When it comes to marine stereo installation, you don’t want to go it alone. Choosing an experienced installer will help you not only to choose the right equipment but also to have it installed in a way that will keep everything safe from the elements for years to come.

The post 3 Steps to a Great Marine Audio System first appeared on Soundiego - San Diego Car Stereo and Video Sales and Installation.

1. Get marine equipment, not marinized equipment. Marinized equipment isn’t actually waterproof. It just means that a coating has been sprayed onto the circuitry. It won’t last as long as actual marine equipment.
2. You definitely need a good sub. There’s no way to create optimal acoustics when you are out on the water. You need walls or a ceiling to bounce the sound off of and the sky doesn’t count. A good sub will reverberate through the boat itself and create a greater depth to your sound.
3. Use digital format for your music. When you are out on the water, the surf is going to cause CDs to skip no matter how good your system is. Digital is the only way to go. That means having the right inputs as well so you can access your digital music easily.
4. Use marine cable. You don’t want standard speaker wires on your boat. Marine cable will ensure the wires don’t end up corroding.
5. Check the IPX Rating. An IPX of 6 or more means the equipment has been rigorously tested (blasted with pressurized water). An IPX rating of 7 means that the testing involves submerging the equipment to the depth of a meter for half an hour.
