SM:

If it helps I'll tell you what i did.

I have 2 weather proof speakers outside on either side of the cockpit. They are not the big bucks ones, but i can't remember the brand, they have white plastic covers and plastic guts like all marine speakers. I'm pretty sure they are 6" round. They are flush mounted.
Then 2-6" round Walmart special speakers inside the cabin. (also flush mounted up in the bow end.
The stereo AM/FM/CD is NOT a marine model, (autozone) since its inside the cabin I don't care that much. It was only 100 bucks with a wireless remote. Its got 200 watts of boat shaking power (sounds awesome). I can run a WOT, crank it up and hear it just fine..So the whole system was pretty cheap this way
I did have a "marine" stereo in there before, but it crapped out after a few years and was expensive.
In these days of disposable electtronics i felt it was not worth the
extra bucks for a marine unit. This one has been in for 2 seasons and is working fine so far.
