Car stereo MOD and what kind of speakers?
want to put in a good quality car stereo into my TC. What kind of speakers will work? Should I put in car speakers of home entertainment speakers? Is there a compatibility factor?

Most all mid end and up speakers are going to be poly cones and poly is waterproof. Pretty much the only difference in marine grade audio and regular is the coating on the exposed wires and connections. Yet "marine grade" typically cost much more. It's up to you if the extra cost is worth it or not.
Having said that, I have a kick butt sound system in my Polaris Rzr. It's a side by side atv if you didn't know. Anyway it gets mud, snow, rain, dust, and gets pressure washed. I have 4 marine grade 6.5" speakers and one 8" subwoofer. The sub is not marine grade, but is in a sealed enclosure. I don't recall the brand of the 6.5 speakers, but the sub is a Powerbass. They are all pushed by a Powerbass class D 1280 watt digital amp. I needed a very efficient amp because the charging system in RZR's are terrible. But this would also come in very handy for RVers that boondock. The system doesn't need near the battery power that good systems of even 5 years ago needed. Yet will still give you hearing loss if you desire, while having no distortion.
Anyway, I'm not saying Powerbass is the be all end all, but it is an excellent bang for your buck.
The biggest mistake most people make is not have the proper watt speakers to the amp.
