Looking to add some tunes to 919

[mthurma4]

Just wanting some input/experience from yall on putting a stereo in my 919. I have lowrance graphs so the sonic hub system is an option. Also could install regular unit like would come from factory. Any thoughts? Good/bad experience with Sonic HUb?

With how cheap and good bluetooth speakers have become, I wont go through the effort of installing a stereo in my boat anymore. I had the Sonichub and liked it, but my phone paired with a $100 speaker is honestly better sounding, more convenient and far less expensive.

I'd go the BT speaker route or putting an independent system thats not connected to the depth finders....something like below......there are different brands and such...

Agreed. Check out the Ultimate Ears Megaboom speakers. Waterproof, portable and absolutely great sound. Also won't break the bank.

I have looked at portable Bluetooth speaker but I'm a big fan of the Sonichub. Some of the pros for the sonichub are;

• able to control it from any graph as long as networked together (usually have my phone stored by the helm and don't have to reach for it to control volume)
• don't need to recharge the unit or worry about it dying
• upgradable... speakers, amps
• one less thing to store
• not worried about dropping or getting knocked into the water

Some of the Bluetooth speaker work well but to get the same sound I would be spending just as much or more on the portable speaker as I would be on the sonichub.

My Bluetooth speaker is waterproof and when it blows or wears out, I can replace it for cheap. Don’t have to worry about charging as I’ve got it plugged in right by my drivers seat as well as my phone.

Im using an Ultimate Ears Wonderboom and it does awesome. Its the size of my fist and the battery lasts several hours. It is easy and cheap with no modification to the boat.
