If you're looking to add Bluetooth audio streaming to your boat, there are a few things you need to consider before purchasing speakers. Here's what you need to know to make sure you get the right speakers for your Bluetooth system.
To start, you'll need to identify the type of Bluetooth system installed on your boat. There are two main types of Bluetooth systems - Class 1 and Class 2. Class 1 systems have a range of about 100 meters, while Class 2 systems have a range of about 10 meters. If your boat's system is Class 1, you'll want to look for speakers that are also rated as Class 1. This will ensure that the two devices are compatible and can communicate with each other at the proper distance.
Next, you'll need to identify what kind of input your Bluetooth system has. Most boats will have either an aux input or a USB port that can be used for connecting external audio sources. If your system only has an aux input, then any pair of Bluetooth speakers should work fine. However, if your system has a USB port, then you'll want to make sure the speakers you purchase also have a USB connection in order to take advantage of it.
Finally, keep in mind that not all Bluetooth speakers are created equal when it comes to sound quality. Just like with any other type of speaker, there will be some variance in sound quality between different models and brands.
