System for Yacht

Hey everybody. I'm poking around for some ideas on a system for a 35foot yacht. This is a bit more related to car audio but I thought that maybe you guys might have some insights on this. The system is totally indoor, so no weatherproof drivers are necessary. Looking for something fairly inexpensive 1-2K and am willing to do some DIY. Will need a good cdp and integrated amp.

dont worry about the weatherproof speakers...they are a gimmick...I lived on Lake Washington with my runabout moored outfront for 5 years...Alpine head unit, cheap soundstream 4 ch amp, Boston pro6.4's & 2 10" subs. Never did I have a problem with the weather or the elements damaging anything. You will be soooooo unhappy with any of the marine speakers out there. I tried them first & they lasted about a week before I gave them to my neighbor for her boat.

Salt water is the worst, highly corosive to electronics. I have a Jensen unit (marine division) in my boat and think it's fine. Thought about having an alternative when on shore power but that would be overkill on a 33 foot boat!

Mark Levinson is now making car audio. It is an option in some Lexus.

FWIW Harmon International(aka Harmon Kardon) makes car audio for lexus(i?) and badges it Mark Levinson. It is NOT available aftermarket.
