*Published on May 14, 2013* This is a stereo installation using sound exciters instead of conventional speakers on a sailboat. The actual sound quality is much better than what was recorded using my iPad. The sound exciters are less than 2 inches in diameter. They are mounted to the fiberglass surface behind the seat backs in the cockpit and are totally out of the elements. Once attached to the fiberglass seat backs, they make the fiberglass vibrate as if it were the speaker. There is no need to drill any holes in your boat to have good quality sound in your cockpit. With conventional speakers, large holes have to be drilled in your boat. The speakers and grills are often accidentally damaged. Water can damage speakers even if they are rated "waterproof". Sound exciters are less than 2" in diameter. They are protected from accidental damage and water because they are mounted within the interior of your boat. The sound exciters get attached to the fiberglass with an aggressive foamed backed adhesive ring attached to the sound exciters. I used 4 sound exciters made by Hiwave. model number HIAX32C20-8 for this installation. I selected these exciters because they are made to drive 1/4" thick glass and can handle higher power than some of the other models available. The cost of each exciter was less than $20. I purchased mine on line from Parts Express. Make sure you wire the exciters for the correct ohms that your stereo system can handle. http://parts-express.com
