marine boat speakers??
 

Whats the boards take on best brand of boat speakers? I know none of them will last too long....but figured I'd ask.

I had pioneer on old boat and they lasted a good while. Have sony on current boat and have already dry rotted and busted.

Oh NO!! I almost ordered some Sony's glad I didn't!

Were they marine speakers or regular auto speakers?

None last so I buy the cheap boss ones. They sound good enough and I usually get 2 or 3 years out of them.

I'm thinking about these Kickers

If you are getting 2-3 years out of Boss spkrs, you are doing something. Yes, those are CHEAP.

Sony Marine.....these were the cheaper of the 2 they had at West Marine ($60 a pair). Lasted about 2 yrs. Supposedly the ones that are $120 a pair are much better. But this is what I have:

I know Bailey's Audio has a good selection. They do a good job and stand by there stuff. Ask for Blake.

Baileys installed my stuff. Know Blake well.

Head down to the quarters and ask around.....regarding what speakers will last the longest.:D

All bout dat Swag...



Time to put a new set in my bass boat.

Girls are going to be disappointed when we have zero music tomorrow in the lake :*****:

i spray a light coat of silicone once a year on the whole speaker. i wouldnt do that on a expensive speaker but since these are 30 a pair it really dont matter. poly planar makes a good speaker. know some guys who have had them 5+ years no problems they seem to hold up well.

Alpines I've got 4 with a 300 watt amp on them and I can hear my music crystal clear over my 200 opti wide open. They're 3 years old and so far so good.

I just got 2 jl speakers and a Sony cd/xm deck and it cost me 700 out the door from baileys and they jam. They did a good job.
