I installed this 2 years ago. It runs on DC or AC which is nice if you're out and don;t want to run the genny. It has a built in DVD palyer as well. I also added a soundbar for better sound. It can swing around so you're able to watch it while sitting in the cockpit lounger
Hey, nice idea, but if you want to get fancy you add an A-B speaker switch, so you can select the source for the cabin speakers. Lots of options, and a lot of fun figuring this stuff out. I have a habit of keeping nothing stock, so I love doing these mods.On audio: I rarely listen to music in the cabin, so I reversed the problem by purchasing an additional head unit with DVD capability to replace the stand alone DVD player. I then hooked up the forward berth speakers directly to the new unit under the TV. This gives me plenty of volume, and effectively creates two zones for the boat. Works well if you don't need the same sound source in the cockpit and cabin. My inputs in the cabin are DVD, iPod/iPad, TV, Radio and Wii.
Bucit..... what size is the TV you installed? I'm thinking of about the same size. 22" or 24"? It sticks out beyond the edge of the cabinet, but doesn't look bad at all.
Pchanson8.... any photos yet? The door concept is an interesting idea. Would a larger than 19" work, mounting to the new door? Whichever way I go, I'd like to make it quickly removable, as I did on my last boat, so I can easily move it to the cockpit.
