You could get a pretty decent shelf system or boombox for the money you would spend on the marine deck and take it inside when youre done outside. Then you wouldnt have to worry about conversion issues.

Look into Sonos. Its a wireless music system. You can tie it into your exsisting system if you want also. Its $400-500 to start but worth it. I do Home Theater installs for a living so if you need any questions answered give me a PM.

I can get a decent marine deck for about $150, & I've already got nice Yamaha outdoor speakers.........

I'm too cheap for that.....I would prefer to upgrade my home theatre reciever instead.......but I like this challenge of the marine deck, and the price tag........I'm too cheap for my own good.......

OK, gonna show how dumb I am; what does the speaker selector do? Does it attach to your existing reciever, and provide more speaker jacks? I have a Yamaha 5.1 reciever, & there isn't anyplace to attach my two outdoor speakers (I had a rocketfish contraption that sent a wireless signal to a device that my outdoor speakers were hooked into, but it died).

Is there just an AB switch on the receiver ? Most have them. What model yamaha is it?

There are only enough audio jacks for the "surround sound" speakers, and I need two more for the outdoor speakers & I hate spending money. I'm really surprised that I can't find an inexpensive receiver for outdoor use, you'd think there would be a market for something like that.

Take the red and white wires from the marine radio and splice them into an old cell phone car charger. Buy this for $17.99 and you are good to go. http://mobile.walmart.com/m/phoenix;jsessionid=24B7BB6E0DA26054757AF03D5EE820FE#ip/Schumacher-DC-to-AC-Converter-6-Amp/13005735

If there is anything i can look up for you as far as Marine radios go, let me know. BOTL pricing applies.

just buy a 50 dollar set of logitech 2.1 speakers. they sound great, and if the weather does ruin them, its only 50 bucks, get another set. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121034

I've already got a very nice pair of Yamaha outdoor speakers. I'll use that i-phone docking station plugged into an older Yamaha receiver, and run the speaker wires indoors to the receiver. The phone stays charged while in use, and the dock has a remote. The receiver has an a/b switch on it so I can have stereo indoors and outdoors that way. Problem solved; $130. It beats buying a new receiver.
