- if the amp is expecting 4 ohms load it will not drive the 8 ohms load to full volume. - the 30+ year old speaker cones maybe disintegrating at the outer edge (suspension). That will give you 'buzzy' sound.

The setup works ok, I just want better sound. The bass is weak and the amp (I did not want complexity of a standalone amp) is probably underpowered vs the efficiency of the speakers, and the aging speakers themselves may be suspect. I don't want to chop holes in the boat for a mall-thumping adolescent mating call, I just want as close to 'audiophile' as I can get within the existing footprint/compromises, and am wondering mostly about the speakers listers may have discovered.

So, I did replace Windstar's 1980's Blaupunkt car cassette player that came with Windstar with a gimmicky but functional Pioneer unit, that has a fancy lightshow, a remote and many features that I will probably never use. (the bluetooth input is great) I did not even look at the 80's vintage bracket mounted micro bookshelf speakers. The sound quality overall is pretty poor and I suspect that the speakers are tired, and may be suffering from age. Any suggestions as to efficient, compact speakers that can be bracket mounted in a boat? Thanks all.
