Re: BOSS audio systems?
BOSS systems are fine for general purpose listening. They aren't gonna thump your boat and they aren't going to give you "concert hall" sound, but they work. I bought one for a cheap system in my fishing boat. The 5.5" speakers sucked- just too tinny and cheap sounding. The deck on the other hand rocks. It's a 200W unit (50W X 4) and it will jam with the 6X9 speakers I bought. I dumped the 5.5" speakers since they sounded cheap. I only spent $150 on the entire system and the deck works great. It has the detachable face and is a CD player model. Very good for what I spent.<br /><br /> Oh, marine speakers will have a couple features that are important. They have waterproof cones that won't fall apart if they get wet, but more importantly, they are normally shielded so they don't screw up your compass. ( If you have a small boat with no compass, that part doesn't make a lot of difference. LOL) So yes, there are differences in speakers. <br /><br /> I'd buy another BOSS unit- the price is right and they sound pretty good- just ditch the cheapie speakers. <br /><br />UFM82
