okay, i got a new stereo and was wondering if any one has found any thing to keep it dry? i thought about making something out of plexiglass to cover that whole part of the dash. Ideas? Thanks

I believe you can go to a boat shop and get a cover

How about getting a marine stereo?

Just a example.

I have a big zip lock bag over the back of mine and no i don't worry about it overheating because my radio is rarly on over 3 hours unless i'm on the trail

If I was to do that with my deck it would probably catch on fire, 26watts RMS CEA-2006, it still the most powerful Alpine has ever made. Its even got a fan on the back to keep it cool when its really cranked.

hmmmm maybe a plexiglass case with room around it so the stereo can still "breathe" and louvers on the top to let heat escape but not let water in?

will water get on it though the top of the dash? if not i can just buy one of those boat radio covers

Sure can, the whole back area is open.

This is what I would suggest but it is going to be an interesting project with all the duct work and wiring in the dash. I would recommend just going and getting a tuffy console and saving yourself the headache.
