[Rhodes22-list] stereo & compass recommendations

[Bob Weber]

David, I bought the West marine 3 inch box speakers with mounting bracket.  
I have two under the forward end of the cockpit benches (the wires can go 
directly into the cabin from there) and two mounted above the aft edge of 
the v-berth.  My days of blowing speakers are over and these have held up to 
the weather for 3 seasons and counting.  The easy mounting was really the 
selling feature.  I keep my stereo behind the sliding glass above the galley 
all the way aft.  Cant help you much on compasses.  I didn't want to cut the 
hole in the bulkhead to mount a compass so I installed one on a washboard 
and can remove it when not in use.  The problem is that puts it about 4 
inches from the switch panel on my boat - I doubt it could be trusted in low 
visability around reefs.  Bob
