One thing to remember is that most boat audio systems are 4 ohms and it is
better to use speakers with same impedance ( 8 ohm will take too much juice ).
Sometimes you only discover it after everything is installed :-)

Subject: Stus-List Stereo finally works
After three years my stereo is fully functional. I replaced the old stereo
with a Sony unit after I bought the boat. One of the 2 interior speakers
worked and the 2 cheapo West cockpit speakers worked.
After spending way too much time, I finally figured out that the speaker wire
was to corroded to carry a signal. Initially, I replaced most of the wire with
household wire. DON"T USE HOUSEHOLD SPEAKER WIRE. That lasted about a season.
I finally replaced all of the wire with marine grade wire. Then I discovered
that the rubber around the speaker cones disintegrated. I bought 5 1/4 inch car
speakers that fit into the enclosures for the cabin speakers, and then found
out the cockpit speakers did't work. Turns out someone twisted and taped the
connections. New crimp connectors fixed them.
Finally, 4 working speakers!
Now, need to upgrade the cockpit speakers.
