Ralph’s Radio in Vancouver and Victoria have been installing marine audio systems in boats and yachts for many years. During our consultations with a client, the topic of a marine audio amplifier always comes up. People often ask us if they need one for their boat. The simple answer is “Yes, you need an amplifier for your marine audio system.”
Benefits of Adding a Marine Audio Amplifier
In an audio system, the amplifier is the engine or the heartbeat. When you turn up the volume, it is the amplifier that makes the music louder. Now, you may be saying to yourself “But I already have an amplifier in my audio system now…” and you would be correct. But the reality is the small amp built into the radio is probably overmatched when it comes to the wind, water, and engine noise. When a popular song starts playing, what do we want to do? Crank it up, of course. So, if you want to enjoy your music at volume levels that make it truly fun, Ralph’s Radio highly suggests adding an amp.
Do you enjoy Watersports? You need an Amplifier
Are you the kind of person that enjoys life outside the boat as much as inside it? Then you are going to want one or more pairs of Tower speakers so you can hear your music. And what is going to drive those speakers? An amplifier, of course!
Enjoy The Bass in Your Music
Every year, more and more people realize they can have incredible sounding bass in their boats. And you guessed it- you need an amplifier to power those subwoofers!
Popular Brands in Multiple Configurations
Ralph’s Radio sells amplifiers in multiple sizes and configurations. From mono amplifiers designed to power those subwoofers we just mentioned, to five- and six-channel amplifiers that allow you to power different areas or zones in your boat at different times at different levels. Some of our best brands include Clarion, Rockford Fosgate, and Wet Sounds. Each of these companies makes dedicated models designed to take the punishment of life on the water.
