[Rhodes22-list] AM/FM/CD radio speakers

[Bill Effros]

George,

I'd like to know more about your system in your home. 

Boats are just converting to wireless systems.  There are numerous 
wireless instrument systems available, and it's just a matter of time 
before people start developing more elaborate stereo systems that are 
more forgiving in a marine environment.

You will find that your boat is remarkably dry.  I have installed an 
inexpensive sacrificial land based stereo system that I thought I would 
replace yearly.  I am seven years into the system, and still have not 
had to replace it. (I sail on salt water, and the system is near salt 
water all year--because the boat is so dry I don't see much of a 
difference between my water based environment and the land based systems 
installed in the homes right next to the water.)  The sound is superior 
to any marine environment system I've ever heard.  I don't have to move 
my speakers whether I'm in the cockpit, in the cabin, or bottom painting.

Movable marine speakers implies a place to move them to.  Think about 
it.  Where would that be? 

People mount speakers at the aft end of the cockpit seats, and inside 
the cabin.  My speakers are mounted on the U-shaped tube that holds up 
the pop top.

You don't want to spend your free time moving speakers around, and you 
don't want to sail thinking all the time about keeping exposed speakers 
and electronics dry.

Interested to know what you decide.

I plan to install a AM/FM/CD radio system, but would like to incorporate a wireless speaker system similar ( but smaller) to what I have in my home...where I can move the speakers to any place in the house without being encumbered with wiring obstacles. Anybody heard of such a thing for the marine environment?
