re: Boat / Marine Audio

Agree, bought one of those portable bluetooth speakers on wheels from Costco and it sounds great at a fraction of the cost of quality speakers and an amp.

A friend and his wife recently purchased a used 21' Tahoe with a Jensen head unit (non-bluetooth) and stock speakers and and they sounded like crap. He replaced the speakers with some JL speakers and the HU with a Sony bluetooth, thinking that the Sony alone would power the speakers. I pointed out that he would need an amp so he sends me links yesterday for a Kicker amp and a Kenwood amp. I told him to buy a quality JL amp or something similar to do those speakers justice but he's trying to cheap out. My exact words we "buy once, cry once" and I think he's getting it. He's very much into his music so it's worth the investment, even if he goes the refurbished route.
