Are regular marine CD stereos car stereos in a water resistant
enclosure with water resistant controls . Or are the boards sealed
Are marine stereo speakers high quality car speakers, meaning rubber
surrounds and plastic cone, or are they different and how

This is pretty funny, as Mark Ransley posted in another group as if he knew
the
answers to these questions. Mark argues that regular car stereo equipment is
exactly the same as marine equipment. He's trolling here in hopes that someone
who doesn't really know any better will agree with him.

I didn't read it that way at all. He did seem to be punctuation challenged.
You seem to be the perpetual troll here.

I might believe that marine units have extra waterproofing, and often WX
channels, but I've been much happier with standard auto equipment, and never had
a failure. Currently I use a Sony with a CD changer and a wired remote in the
cockpit. Cockpit speakers, of course, must be weatherproof. I've usually used
outdoor speakers down below, although modern speaker cones don't absorb water
the way old one did.

No, "marine" CD stereos are just car stereos with WHITE FRONTS......a
total waste of money. NOTHING is "sealed". It's a rip!

Call 1-888-920-3332, digitalfotoclub.com in NYC, and order the $250
JVC KD-SX990 for $133 ($103 after $30 rebate plus some shipping).
Best price I found.

Great stereo, plays any MP3 CD-R I can produce and switches to MP3
mode fast. CD player is behind the fold-down front panel with pretty
colored display. It's also the cheapest unit I found that would read
the MP3 ID3 tags in any version, right out of the box.

If you have an external player, computer, etc., you can plug it into
the 1/8" stereo phone jack in the front of the panel and hold down the
CD button for 3 seconds to switch to AUX mode. Play your fav MP3
player, like my Archos Studio 20 MP3 hard disk player, through the
boat's stereo speakers. Worked great at the Christmas Parade of Boats
party aboard Lionheart all night Saturday night.....(c;

Screw those half-assed, cheapskate "boat" stereos with no features and
crappy interfaces. It's nonsense.

Buy waterproof speakers for the cockpit, though.....

I looked at the JVC 990 that someone recommended - did not like having
to flip down the front to slide in a CD.

Need -

CD slot w/o flipping down the front
plays MP3 CD's - with good navigation
aux in jack on front
wireless remote control
true resume so I can listen to MP3 books on CD
no Sony products

Any fits?

If you convert your CD collection to MP3s, you can put 12 hours of
music on ONE CD-R the JVC990 will play. Gives new meaning to
"shuffle". It's like having your own radio station, anywhere on the
planet....(c;
