The Time Is Perfect For A New Boat Stereo System!

 Audio systems in boats add to the fun and enjoyment when you’re on the water. The adrenaline of skipping across whitecaps going full-throttle is only added by the tight company and your favorite music playing louder than the sound of the motor.

Most boats have pretty low quality audio system that function mediocrely when the boat is stationary. Some boats still have cassette players, and all boats seem to have AM/FM radio. New advancements in marine audio technology can upgrade your current audio system to a cutting edge audio system with amazing performance. The time is perfect to upgrade your marine audio system in preparation for summers in Minnesota where you enjoy the lakes and rivers.

Marine audio is built differently than home or car audio.

Marine audio is built to handle the damp and wet conditions of river and lake use. Marine audio is engineered from the ground up to address moist environments. Marine audio looks similar to car audio equipment, but a close inspection will show subtle difference that have a big effect on prolonging the equipment’s operation over many years in a moist environment.

CD Players, Radios, Head Ends or Decks

The brains of a boat stereo system have many names and serve the purpose of you controlling the music in your boat. Basic marine audio head ends have AM/FM radio and play CD’s. More advanced units will have USB and Bluetooth capabilities. These boat stereo head units have come a long way in the last few years and now offer more power and features than what you may expect.

Marine Audio CD players often have a water-resistant door that will cover the unit. This is the best way to ensure that water will not damage your boat stereo while you’re cutting fast turns in the water, are sprayed by a jet skier, or when you are caught off-guard by a fast rain fall.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology that is perfect for boat stereo systems in Minnesota. A Bluetooth cd player in your boat will allow you and your guests to connect their smart phones or other devices to your boat stereo. You can use your iPhone, Android, Samsung, or other device to stream Spotify Premium, Pandora, iHeart Radio, iTunes, or any other music service that you have access to on your phone. Bluetooth will allow you to locate the phone in a water tight compartment and stream the music without any cords dangling and in the way of you and your guests.  Bluetooth is a really nice feature for modern marine audio systems on the Mississippi River and in Minnesota lakes.

Amplifiers

Marine audio boat amps are built differently than car audio amplifiers, yet the boat amps look nearly identical to car amps. Marine audio amplifiers use different materials and paint to avoid corrosion and moisture water penetration of the amplifier chassis. The amplifiers will run off your boar batteries and have a huge range of available power. Some boat stereo amplifiers are small and will power your cabin speakers. Other Marine audio amplifiers are large and will power subwoofers and tower speakers for when you want to party on a beach or sand dune.

Speakers

Marine Audio speakers are built to withstand years of use in wet environments. Marine audio speakers are built to withstand direct water exposure. The speakers are not designed to work when submerged, but a wave splashing a boat speaker should not cause issues with the performance.

Boats benefit from good audio on the lakes and on the Mississippi River

Your boating experience is always increased when your marine audio system is easy to use, performs great, and lasts the life of your boat.
