Hard to find the specs on the audio system. Does anyone know the RMS rate for the factory-installed speakers on the AR240?
UPDATE: I finally got the answer from the Marine Division of Yamaha Motors (866-894-1626). The factory-installed speakers on the AR240 are rated (RMS) 25 watts @ 4 ohms. The rate is disappointing. Very powerless speakers they are. But, the AR240 does not come with an amplifier. Then, it makes total sense.
I want to upgrade the stereo system without sacrificing what it's already installed. Please, understand that I am not looking to blast music across the ocean, I just want to have better sound while in the water, around the boat.
In the original configuration, the only possible upgrade I see is adding two more speakers (25 watts ea.) to the transom, with a 300 watts, 6-channel amplifier. Two channels (bridged) will supply power to the rear and transom speakers @ 4 ohms, and another channel will need a reductor to guarantee a 50% reduction of power while feeding the 2 front speakers, also @4 ohms.
anyone with a better idea (without getting rid of the installed speakers)?
