Speaker wires from nav station to above companionway cover in a H41AC

[leemarkadams]

Hello all,

Anyone offer any advice on the best way to run speaker wires from the stereo at the nav station to the raised bit above the companionway in a H41AC. Please see pics and any advice welcome!

Bluetooth.

It you are lucky, there is some gap between the ceiling liner and the deck that you could work wire through, up to where you want the speakers. If there is a ceiling light up there, you can be sure there is.

Yeah...what justsomeguy said.

I stream music through my phone 100% of the time, so I just skipped updating the stereo and speakers (cockpit speakers are total crap and so is where they're placed in the arch) and went with two Bose Soundlink II speakers which pair with my phone, have a "party mode" to play to both speakers, and you can set them in "stereo mode" as well. They sound awesome, and I just recharge them over night and they last all day - and I can put them anywhere on the boat - cabin, foredeck for the sunset, cockpit, dinghy! A little white Velcro on the speaker bottoms and on your companionway and they stay put very nicely while sailing.

Good luck!

I found a bluetooth receiver that plugs into the stereo which gives me music through the boat speakers. Also bought a portable bluetooth speaker, but you may want to buy one that floats ( ask me why this is a good idea )


I installed a wind repeater in that area above the companionway and ended up taking down some of the headliner. Also have to remove that cover as there are no holes through to the cabin.
