2320 Stereo Installation - XM and iPod

[EDGEWATER]

Here's a quick description of the Stereo installation in my 2320.

I have been using an iPod and XM Pioneer INNO in my office and while riding my motorcycle, walking, etc. I don't really listen to local radio or listen to CD's.

Looked at the Poly-Planer deal for iPod but wanted a little more UMPH.

After talking with some audio guys and Crutchfied it seens the cable that converts a 1/8" phone jack to RCA plugs is not preferred when eliminating the Radio / CD player from the equation.

The preferred method is to add small pre-amp. It also allows you to adjust volume with knob instead of device.

I do get a LITTLE interference from the Garmin GSD-22 sounder and the INNO charger.

I'll work on separating and shielding stuff.

Other than that it works GREAT!!

Professional job!! Neat and clean!! I like the (2) speakers in the cuddy. I have the same style speakers on my boat, but only have (2) in the pilot house and (2) under the gunwales. Since seeing your install I might install (2) in the cuddy also. I also dig like your crib decor.

SWEET! :shock:
My winter project.

My question is how do you keep the cuddy so clean of gear?

Nice Job! 8) Not sure if I could be trusted with a remote. :roll:

I'd have to lash it to a 2X4 or something to keep it from going home in my pocket or going over the side.

Cuz I'm standing on it while taking the picture!

Usually there is (2) PFDs, (2) fold up chairs, (1) pillow for sleeping, a couple of tackle bags and a roll up air mattress, etc.
