Marine cd players?

Question

What is the difference between a normal cd player in a vehicle and a marine cd player designed for boats? I need to get a new cd player for my jeep and I am wanting something that is weather resistant since I take the top off my jeep for summer months and occasionlly it gets rained on.

Answer 1

marine disc players are water reststant.

Answer 2

Marine CD players are able to withstand the occasional splash and are more robust than an ordinary car CD player. Having said that, the price difference in your particular application may well be worth the $. I'm a big fan of JBL gear, both for my home and aboard our vessel.

Here's a link to a site that sells their players, but you might be able to score one on ebay or craigslist. Check out the JB4 when you click the link.

Good luck!

Answer 3

the stereo unit is sealed for water resistance. i have put a radio/cd player in a jeep and it will work fine.
