Joel,
I’ve had Poly Planar speakers inside my cabin for a long time. They work well and came with the boat. I installed Bose 131 speakers in the cockpit, but after a number of years one of them quit working. Corrosion ate through one of the leads to the voice coil. Bose offered to repair it for $50 or $75, but I opted for a new set of Poly Planar Platinum speakers. They look good , fit the old holes, and sound great. Actually, I had to enlarge the holes slightly, but it wasn’t a bit job.

I replaced the old stereo with a Sony unit after I bought the boat. One of the 2 interior speakers worked and the 2 cheapo West cockpit speakers worked. After spending way too much time, I finally figured out that the speaker wire was to corroded to carry a signal. Initially, I replaced most of the wire with household wire. DON"T USE HOUSEHOLD SPEAKER WIRE. That lasted about a season. I finally replaced all of the wire with marine grade wire. Then I discovered that the rubber around the speaker cones disintegrated. I bought 5 1/4 inch car speakers that fit into the enclosures for the cabin speakers, and then found out the cockpit speakers did't work. Turns out someone twisted and taped the connections. New crimp connectors fixed them. Finally, 4 working speakers! Now, need to upgrade the cockpit speakers. Joel 35/3 The Office Annapolis -- Joel 301 541 8551
