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.

FWIW Harmon International(aka Harmon Kardon) makes car audio for lexus(i?) and badges it Mark Levinson. It is NOT available aftermarket.

Get car audio gear, you aren't going to be able to critically listen for long periods of time on a boat(I know its impossible, have tried). Besides you will need weather proof speakers and the most inexpensive way to do that is with car audio then build the cabinets-I say you will need weather proof speakers because there will be temperature swings, humidy issues and various other potential problems I wouldn't want to risk it. Me and my buddy just put 4-12's and 2 component sets and 3 amps in his new cigarette boat, and boy o boy does that thing fly!!! we didn't need to waste the money on audio stuff, should have saved it for repairs when we break stuff. ~Tim
