01
Marine audio
Speakers, radios, amplifiers, and subwoofers that can handle the environment and still be heard in open air.
Watercraft
Better sound, lighting, and flooring for the boat.
For boats and pontoons
Better sound, lighting, and flooring for the boat.
Want better sound on the boat? More light for nights on the water? New flooring underfoot? CVSi installs marine audio, video, lighting, accessories, SeaDek flooring, MarineMat, and interior upgrades.
Boat equipment deals with sun, spray, vibration, and open-air listening. We use marine equipment where the job calls for it and pay attention to battery demand, mounting space, and protected wiring.

On the water
What we install on boats.
Audio and video get most of the attention, but CVSi also offers lighting, SeaDek, MarineMat, boating accessories, and interior work.
02
Video
Screens and video equipment are available for compatible boat layouts. Placement, power, and weather exposure all matter.
03
Speaker installation
Secure mounting, protected wiring, and sensible speaker locations matter on a boat. Available space varies quite a bit from one model to another.
04
Larger systems
More speakers and amplifiers mean more electrical demand. Battery capacity and charging need to be part of the conversation.
05
Boat lighting
Ask about courtesy, step, compartment, and accent lighting for nights on the water.
Flooring and accessories
CVSi offers SeaDek flooring, MarineMat, boating accessories, and other interior upgrades. Call with the boat details for current options.
Before work starts
We need to see the boat.
Layout, existing equipment, battery capacity, storage, and access vary too much to guess from a generic parts list.
- 01
Review the boat
We identify the watercraft, current equipment, available spaces, listening areas, and desired performance.
- 02
Check the equipment and power
We check mounting space, wiring routes, controls, battery capacity, and exposure to sun and water.
- 03
Install and water-ready test
The system is mounted securely, functions are checked, and controls are demonstrated before pickup.

Watercraft FAQ.
Call the shop to confirm current products, availability, terms, or compatibility for your specific job.
What makes marine audio different from car audio?
Marine systems face moisture, ultraviolet exposure, vibration, wind, and open-air listening. Component construction, mounting, wiring protection, and output needs should reflect that environment.
Can you upgrade the audio on a pontoon?
Yes. Pontoons are a common candidate for speaker, amplifier, subwoofer, source, and control upgrades, with the exact design based on layout and available power.
Can CVSi add lighting to a pontoon or boat?
Yes. Depending on the watercraft and goals, options may include practical courtesy, step, compartment, work-area, or restrained accent lighting with protected wiring and clean switching.
Can audio and video be installed at the same time?
Yes. Source units, screens, speakers, amplifiers, controls, power, and mounting locations may share wiring or space, so it helps to look at both jobs together.
Will a larger sound system drain the boat battery?
Any added electrical load should be planned carefully. System power, battery capacity, charging, play time, and how the boat is operated all matter.
Can existing speakers or controls be reused?
Sometimes. We test and identify the existing equipment, then determine whether it is compatible with the desired upgrade and still suitable for marine use.
