An upgraded marine audio system from Ocala Car Audio in Marion County is the best way to make your time on the water more enjoyable this summer. Our sales and installations teams have decades of experience in upgrading sound systems on everything from small fishing boats to cabin cruisers to all-out yachts. Let’s have a look at some of the options available to make your marine audio system sound better this season.
Premium Marine Speaker Solutions
No single component in an audio system is more important than your speakers. You could have the best source unit, amazing amplifiers and a cool installation. But, if your speakers aren’t up to the challenge, the performance of the entire system will suffer. We offer marine speakers from JL Audio, Memphis Audio and Kenwood that are specifically designed for outdoor use. They are designed to perform in applications with high-levels of UV exposure. These speakers feature materials that resist chalking, yellowing, fading, and cracking, even after years outdoors.
High-quality marine speakers offer more than longevity; they can handle lots of power to ensure your marine audio system will sound great. Even when you are crashing through the waves or cheering on the skier at the end of the rope at the top of your lungs!
High-Power Marine-Grade Amplifiers
Marine amplifiers differ in construction from their car audio brethren in the materials they use inside the chassis. Aluminum extrusions and cover plates, and stainless-steel terminals and hardware ensure that these amplifiers won’t corrode in the high-humidity environment of a boat. The majority of marine amplifiers feature a corrosion-resistant coating on the circuit boards that prevent moisture from corroding the fragile connections.
In terms of power, the marine amplifiers we offer use high-efficiency Class-D designs to maximize the available energy from your batteries when the engine is off. This reduction in electrical load allows you to play your audio system longer and louder than conventional amplifiers.
Upgraded Marine Audio Source Unit Options
If your boat is more than five years old, chances are it didn’t come with a source unit that includes Bluetooth Audio streaming. Adding Bluetooth has been one of the most popular feature requests over the last few years. We offer radios with and without CD mechanisms that include Bluetooth. Most include options for SiriusXM, direct Pandora support and multi-zone volume control. We can add wired and wireless remotes to most of these source units. Many are now compatible with the NMEA 2000 connectivity to Garmin, Lowrance or Simrad multifunction devices.
Expert Marine Stereo Installations
Ocala Car Audio is well-known for our fanaticism when it comes to marine installations. We take the time to ensure every component is mounted securely so they will withstand anything you throw at them. Our wiring practices ensure reliable operation. We use materials that are specifically designed for marine applications. Finally, the way we design upgraded marine audio systems ensures that your music will sound great from anywhere onboard. Most importantly, the system will be easy to use!

When it comes to great amplifiers that fit in small spaces, Ocala Car Audio is fond of the Kenwood KAC-M3004. This four-channel amplifier is rated to produce 50 watts of power per channel when connected to a four-ohm load. It features a compact 6-1/2 by 3-7/8-inch footprint that makes it ideal for motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides, marine and automotive applications. Let’s take a close look at the features of this great little amplifier.
One of our most popular application for the Kenwood KAC-M3004 is in the fairing of a motorcycle. When bridged to a pair of high-quality speakers, the 150 watts of power are a perfect solution to ensure your music is produced with clarity, even at high volume levels. Kenwood has constructed this amp for marine and outdoor applications. This includes a corrosion-resistant coating on the circuit board and protective covers for the controls to help keep dust out.

A rear vision camera system is a perfect add-on to a large vehicle like a pickup truck, SUV or van. Our cameras are compact, yet provide a wide field of vision. Backup camera systems work automatically, displaying a clear image as soon as you put your vehicle’s transmission in reverse. We can integrate the camera image with many factory color screens. If you lack one, we can upgrade your vehicle with a new rearview mirror with an integrated LCD screen or add a secondary monitor for commercial applications.
Ocala Car Audio carries a wide variety of digital video recording systems. Often called a dashcam, these compact video recorders capture everything that happens in front and behind your vehicle. Kenwood’s DRV-N520 dash camera has been very popular thanks to its ability to integrate with many of their multimedia receivers for configuration, warnings and video file playback. The Momento series of dashcams from Firstech include front and rear high-resolution cameras, and an on-screen display for easy video file playback. BlackVue offers a wide variety of camera solutions, many of which include a built-in WiFi hotspot so you can link your smartphone to the camera via an app.
A local business owner from here in Ocala, Florida, dropped by Ocala Car Audio with his wife to talk about making some upgrades to this 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. The truck was to be a gift for their son’s 16th birthday, and they wanted an audio system and some accessories installed as a holiday present. The client found us through our website and online reviews. We put together a proposal for the client and, on his approval, scheduled an appointment to begin work on this Silverado 2500HD audio upgrade.
