Any recommendations for a marine/waterproof bluetooth speaker for the boat? Currently no radio mounted in my boat and I'm trying to decide if a decent speaker will suffice for some music while fishing/riding.

I bought some little cube shaped waterproof speaker at Best Buy pretty cheap a while back. It actually works real well. Don't need it now that my son gave me a Yeti with the built in waterproof speakers for father's day.

Only one way to go on this and that is the Wet Sounds stealth sound bar. I have a stealth 10 in my golf cart and it screams. I know the owner personally and he is a good dude. They are as good as it gets when talking about marine/water proof audio. The stealth 6 is smaller and a little cheaper and still screams. The 3rd generation just came out and the sound is better than the previous versions which is hard to believe. Talk about clean.

The JBL Charge fits in the cupholder and has good sound but I doubt you'll hear any of the smaller ones while riding.

But,

The Stealth CORE sound bars are built using the same rugged components as the fully active Ultra Series without the built in Bluetooth and amplifier.

That's the stealth core. You have to get the stealth. The core is for auxiliary hookup to an existing unit. The regular stealth is fully integrated. Only thing you need is a 12v battery. It also has aux in and out if you wanted to hook it up to something else also but not needed.

Ah...


I could see mounting one of those to my boat console bar and not even using my boat stereo ever again.

What are you looking to spend?

We've used a few of the Wetsounds Stealth bars on a couple boats and ATVs. They're similar in shape to an LED light bar, bluetooth capable and sound amazing, even the small ones.


ETA: My response was late, but seriously look in to the Stealth bars.

Yeah, a ton of guys do that here on the Texas coast. They mount an LED light bar to facing the bow and a wet sounds stealth bar facing the stern, both mounted to the horizontal bar on the top of the console over the windshield. Comes out to a real clean install and look.

What about speakers and wiring?

A portable BT speaker that will be loud enough to hear while riding will cost more than a BT enabled receiver.

I have one of these in the shower (dont judge me) and it works great.

Oontz angle

eta- obviously not as good as these $100+ systems. But for the money, it's hard to beat.
