All of the components will be indoors, a conditioned environment, running on constant 120 volt provided by a generator or via power cord from shore.

No. That still doesn't answer my question, and I know all of that already. These items will be in a controlled environment, inside, a/c in the summer, heat in the winter...24/7, controlled environment just like your house. I have listed everything and still can not get an answer as to the production of sound from the components I listed so I will say it again:They may be indoors but they will be in high humidity and aerosol conditions. It's less of a problem for speakers (with modern not paper cones) but it's a problem for power amplifiers (pretty much everything with active electronic components).
Example of not bad and serious outdoor speakers:
Try to find something like that but active (with integrated amplifier), unfortunately not many of those mesured hire.Revel M80XC Review (Outdoor Speaker)
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Revel M80XC outdoor/indoor Atmos height/surround speaker. It was kindly purchased by a member and drop shipped to me for testing. It costs US $900 a pair. Note: our company, Madrona Digital is a custom integration company and is a dealer for...
For a BT one's try with Anker Soundcore Trance Go in pair from Amazon or some other place where you can ship them back easily if you are not satisfied.
I don't know how much noise makes your generator or bord engine but I am certain there will be times when you want to shut it down and enjoy the music in quite environment.
Best regards and have a nice time. That still doesn't answer my question, and I know all of that already. These items will be in a controlled environment, inside, a/c in the summer, heat in the winter...24/7

Reminds me of (some of) the doctors I've seen who cannot be bothered to listen to what I have to say, only what they want to tell me; something I eventually learned to stop doing in my IT career.I get what you are saying, and it makes perfect sense. That being said, I have real world experience with these types of devices in the intended environment. I understand corrosion and your concerns, but there are some places on these types of vessels where it simply doesn't matter. The places where it does gets the properly rated equipment and protection from the elements. The audio/visual equipment is simply not on that list (with the exception of engine room and cockpit cameras). My 12v onboard stereo and speakers is all marine rated because it is subject to the elements. The items in question within this post will all be safely nestled within the salon, free (ish) from the elements. Sure, they may only live for 5-10 years with the vibrations they will see, but I am fine with that. My question still remains, will these items work to produce what I am after?? From there I will make my decision on which way to go. Ideally, whatever I buy can be used at my home, or boat.
Those seem like very reasonable choices, though you might find the smaller 1502 amp more than adequate, and cheaper, should you ever need to replace.
Most of these devices are more than capable of adequate sound (short of 'reinforcement'; hope your not That Guy at the dock!) either on the water or tied up.
There are almost too many choices for these devices today, at good prices, too. See the various reviews here for more input, and to make sure your money is actually getting you decent performance. Otherwise, go for the features you want/need.
Sure, corrosion might be a concern in a saltwater environment, but might also take years? to develop, and these things are now pretty inexpensive/replaceable nowadays.
Best wishes!
You are absolutely correct, also varying voltages. A quality UPS device can clean that up for your sensitive electronics. As for you VHF, have you checked your ground bus? Improper grounds, or dirty ones, can cause feedback. Sometimes just moving one from one point to another may help too. Line filter? Ferrite bead?
Great suggestions. It’s not on a boat at the moment, fortunately. Power is through a new, pure sine wave UPS and multiple handheld radios detect the signal. So sone fiddling is in order. Ferrite beads are next…
Odd that the UPS did not clean it up, but then not all do a good job at that. Best of luck, tracing that stuff down can be a real bear!!
Oh, what area?
Then I'd say your crown/bluetooth/SMSL combo should work fine, given your loud boomy objective
. You may need to consider salt related shortened lifetime of the kit - but I'm guessing that would be a small factor in the general running cost of a hole in the water. That's a nice area. I'm just around the corner on the Piankatank River.
No, she's quite noisy when underway!! Yes, all a pittance when compared to the operating costs, but really the salt air does not affect things on the inside like you would think, the cabin is really well sealed.Then I'd say your crown/bluetooth/SMSL combo should work fine, given your loud boomy objective
Crown amps are not known for being the lowest of the low when it comes to noise and distortion, but still good enough for most cases, and a boat is never dead silent optimised listening conditions. Plus crown is great for loud and boomy. They are also designed for pro applications so likely to be more robust than your average consumer kit. I'd guess the rack mountability is also good for a marine application.
We didn't go quite that far south, but pretty close at Windmill point marina on the northern side of the Rappahannock.
I know that area very well, super nice boats there, very pretty.We didn't go quite that far south, but pretty close at Windmill point marina on the northern side of the Rappahannock.
It is a beautiful part of the world - at the right time of the year when the temperatures are not Bloody Stupid Hottm
