Is it not better to sick to a remote Amp and plug in radio/mp3 player for sound onboard a RIB, all these purpose built radio/CD/MP3 playerslook like more trouble than they're worth.

Andy,

Mines been good. Its the AV Marine unit and its got bundles of interconnects for MP3's, Sub Woofers, Amps, 12 Volt outlet etc. Trouble is buying the head unit and a couple of normal speakers is relatively cheap. Its the Amps and wakeboard speakers that are pricey. By the end of this year though !

I have an Amp sitting in the garage

and an MP3, just need the cables and a switch to turn the Amp on and of course some speakers.

Biggles · 17 June 2007, 15:35

Which amp and dare I ask how much ?

It's a Jenson one, I bought it years ago and assume it still works. Was about £60 and is a 3channel 50w/channel or 150 bridged. It also has a Sub out.

I think it'll be fine for my application as I have two area's in the console at waist height that I can mount some speakers in, I'll also have a two position switch that I can use to toggle channels between Hi-Fi and VHF.

We have a Marine AV setup in the latest demo boat - 1 waterproof Ipod box (to suit), 1 amp, 1 subwoofer, a volume control and two speakers. If you have an Ipod or similar already you can have all of your favourite tunes on the boat!

I fitted one to my commercial open fishing boat, it was in a waterproof box (electrical enclosure) and had no problems, an exellent idea using sd much easier using sd card than a cd jumping all the time etc... I have just brought one for my new lobster potting boat also intergrates bluetooth so you can use your phone through the boats speakers and it has internal and external mic, loads of other features. O yes and a free 1GB memory stick.

I gave my boat a hammering all winter and left the hatch ajar some times and the unit never gave me problems, I was for ever turning the volume up nd down with wet hands this did not seem to affect it either.

Good luck in finding a unit.
