Stereo System Upgrade Survey
The 15 year old Clarion speakers are distorting and its time to upgrade. I am certain many of you faced similar situations and am interested in how you approached it. As an older system the receiver is not 'bluetooth' capable. That would be a good thing to have given today's streaming technology. I understand that there is a bluetooth receiver that can be plugged into the auxiliary port of the Clarion that will enable this function,
Did you simply replace the speakers? ( 2 on bridge, 2 in aft cockpit, 2 in the salon)
Did you replace the entire system? What brand did you go with and why?
I do know that since I have a Garmin plotter I can replace with a Fusion receiver and run an ethernet cable to the bridge and control function from the plotter. How challenging would that be and what is best approach if I go that route?
What do you guys think?
Thanks.

For the salon i replaced the factory Kenwood cassette receiver and cd changer with a Kenwood bt5hd unit and four alpine speakers in the original locations. It sounds really good.
I can stream to both from my phone and also control them via apps.
