I have been doing this for a long time in marine environments and there are huge advantages to a 12v approach. One thing that most boats have plenty of is 12v. One place that you can get endless problems from is ground loops in your inverter converting back to AC - so why bother with that, cables etc
Plus truth is that you are talking about a floating box that was none too carefully put together and is mostly straight walls and angles....
Better then a HD based system, do a iMod from Redwine Audio and save some space too. Think about adding a Sirius satellite radio since your guests and family will probably want round the clock noise. Use a passive preamp from channel island audios (Placette if you want, you are the captain).
Besides the battery powered Redwine 30, check out these rad tube amps from Butler Audio designed for mobile applications...

And BTW you can put together an incredibly good sounding 12v system based on high end car audio components from companies like Nakamichi, Alpine and Soundstream Reference old school amps. And drive very high quality speakers so long as you pay a little attention to sensitivity
