So you are going to force anyone within ear shot to listen to what you are blaring into the air? This doesn't make sense but I guess a lot of uncaring people do it (ski boats, cars, etc). Don't be "that guy". Is there a problem using headphones at a reasonable level that you can hear other boats?

Och someone had a bad night or morning didnt they

No, had a good sleep and great morning. How would you like it if I paddled up to you while fishing and started blaring music that you hate? Not very much I suspect. What one may think is awesome may turn another's stomach. DC the speakers and wear head phones and there's no problem.

Does anybody have a stereo system set up on their kayaks? Most of the time the peace and quiet is what I want when fishing, but occasionally I want to listen to some music on those 12 hour + trips. Currently I just have some offbrand of the "Jam Box" which is just a bluetooth speaker that I link with my phone and play Pandora. However, it ends up killing my phone after a couple hours and I would rather not be without my phone for safety reasons. So I am wondering about ideas for a true stereo, something like a motorcycle radio setup, maybe? I am not sure if those are water proof or can handle the salt though. Also I am assuming it would need to be mounted to a waterproof box or something to mount the speakers without making very large holes in your kayak.

No offense taken Ken, lots of kayak fishermen are like you (and I) seeking a little solitude and to keep the peace. My suggestion of head phones does just that.


I sure don't see anything in the title or content of this post or any responses that you are building it for the oil fields or beach. I guess I have to read between the lines to get that...thus my comment.
