System for Yacht


Hey everybody. I'm poking around for some ideas on a system for a 35foot yacht. This is a bit more related to car audio but I thought that maybe you guys might have some insights on this. The system is totally indoor, so no weatherproof drivers are necessary. Looking for something fairly inexpensive 1-2K and am willing to do some DIY. Will need a good cdp and integrated amp.

Important to use marinized 12 volt electronics as we all know the environment will be hostile to conventional home electronics. OTOH, if your audio system is intended for use when on shore power and if you run your AC when away (keeping humidity down), then you will have some more choices. Do you have an inverter and where is the location of the vessel?
Salt water is the worst, highly corosive to electronics. I have a Jensen unit (marine division) in my boat and think it's fine. Thought about having an alternative when on shore power but that would be overkill on a 33 foot boat!
You want to hear something pathetic- we've named our boat "Eidolon" after you know what. Most people think it is a play on words "idle on", which of course is incorrect as it is capable of going faster than hull speed due to the fact that it has a planing hull. She is a Robinhood 33 Poweryacht and hails from Wickford, Rhode Island. She has a dark blue hull with a flybridge and may be viewed at www.robinhoodmarinecenter.com.
