i want to put a marine cd/mp3 player and a couple speakers in my '05 vx110 deluxe. i'm 100% confident in my wiring skills and fiberglass skills to make it look as much like a stock install as posible. my question is whether or not the electrical system can handle it? i assume the boat has some type of alternator or generator that would support a sound system, but before i start cutting and molding i wanted to try to get more info.

got the owners manual?
it will tell u amperage it puts out
i would say add another battery just in case

thanks for the tip, i checked but all it said is that it has a fly wheel magneto charge system. it doesn't say anything about output amps.

got a DMM (digital multi meter)

no, but i have access to one. where or what would i test?

se how many volts u r putting out
u will need to test for milli volts
1 milli volt is 1 amp

thanks, how many amps would be enough to run the radio and a couple speakers?
