Marine audio in North Bay
Lavigne's Car Audio is the North Bay, Ontario shop that installs marine audio, RGB speaker lighting, LED accent lighting, amplifiers, switch panels and 12V accessories on pontoons, wake boats, fishing boats and cruisers, under the same roof as Lavigne's Canvas Co. Every marine install is done at 102 Booth Rd #2 with marine-grade parts, sealed connections and a finish that matches the boat.
A boat is a harder place for electronics than a truck: water, vibration, sun and a winter in storage. Lavigne's builds for that, and because the canvas and upholstery crew is the same crew, the audio goes in around the canvas work instead of fighting it.
The advantage nobody else in town has
Lavigne's Canvas Co. has spent decades on North Bay boats. Lavigne's Car Audio shares its building and its crew, so a boat can have the cover, the seats, the SeaDek, the speakers and the lighting handled in one place by people who already know it.
What it costs
The starting price is for marine speakers. What moves the number:
Send the boat's make, model and length and what you want it to do, and Lavigne's Car Audio will quote the exact system. Financing is available through Financeit.
Which one
Three levels of marine audio, in the order most North Bay boat owners climb them.
| System | What changes | What you notice | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bluetooth source unit | A marine head unit and a pair of marine speakers. | Music from your phone at the dock and at idle, clean and weatherproof. | A fishing boat or a small pontoon that has never had a stereo. |
| Amplified system | More speakers, an amplifier and a subwoofer. | Volume that holds up on open water with the engine running. | Pontoons and cruisers that host people. |
| Full system with RGB | Tower or all-round speakers with RGB rings, LED deck lighting, app control, amplifier and sub. | The boat looks and sounds like an event after dark. | Wake boats and the pontoon that is the party. |
| Boat | Typical install | What matters most | Lavigne's note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pontoon | Speakers along the deck, LED strips under the seats, a sub in a bench. | Even coverage across a long open deck. | Lighting goes in with the upholstery work. |
| Wake boat | Tower speakers facing back, RGB rings, an amplifier, a sub in the bow. | Reaching the rider behind the boat. | Tower mounts and wiring planned around the cover. |
| Fishing boat | A compact marine head unit and two or four speakers. | Weatherproofing and a clean helm. | Kept simple, sealed and out of the way of gear. |
The Lavigne Touch, marine edition
Water and vibration find every shortcut. Here is how a marine install leaves the Booth Road shop.
Lavigne's Car Audio checks the boat, the existing canvas and upholstery, the helm and the battery before quoting, so the audio plan fits the boat as it is.
Speakers, source unit, amplifier and lighting are marine rated for water, UV and vibration, and matched to the boat's size and power.
Connections are sealed, wiring is routed and secured away from water and bilge, and everything is fused properly.
Speakers, pods and lighting are mounted and finished so they hold up to trailering, rough water and a Northern Ontario winter in storage.
Levels and lighting are set with the boat running, then the owner gets a walkthrough of the source unit and the lighting controller.
On the water
Four Lavigne's marine installs from North Bay boats: a head unit in a white dash, a speaker set into a bench panel, an RGB-lit speaker on a pontoon, and an amplifier mounted and wired to stay dry.
Marine audio at Lavigne's Car Audio in North Bay starts at $199.99 for marine speakers in 2026, with the full price set by the boat, the number of speakers and lights, and whether an amplifier and subwoofer are added.
A Bluetooth source unit with two marine speakers is the entry point. Pontoons and cruisers that host people usually add an amplifier and a sub. Wake boats with tower speakers, RGB rings and LED deck lighting are the top of the range. Send the boat's make, model and length and Lavigne's comes back with the installed quote.
A pontoon needs even coverage along a long open deck, so speakers run the length of it with lighting under the seats; a wake boat needs tower speakers facing back to reach the rider, with a sub in the bow and RGB rings on the tower.
Lavigne's Car Audio installs both, and on a pontoon the lighting and speakers usually go in during the upholstery or flooring work, which is the advantage of having the canvas crew in the same building.
