[quote=yurdle]When I chose the speakers, I opted for cheap, b/c to me that meant 'replaceable'....sadly it never occurred to me that at the point I'd damaged a speaker I'd have likely sunk the boat as well.
I used [url=http://www.amazon.com/MR50W-5-25-Inch-2-Way-Marine-Speakers/dp/B000JP37JC/ref=pd_sim_e_3]Boss MR50W[/url]...they were even cheaper at the time.
Yep, I just drop the mp3 player into the bag with the amp. I pulled the amp out of it's housing (the standard funky trapezoid shape most T-amps come in) and put it in a radioshack hobby box, and ran the battery pack wire through the marine switch I mounted in the inspection port cover.
I leave the MP3 player (usually a sansa clip) on about 3/4 volume the whole time as I can't access the amp volume, and then use the kill switch on the cover as necessary.[/quote]
