How about using speakers that are designed to be placed next to television
sets for TV stereo sound?  These have some magnetic shielding to keep the TV
picture from getting messed up.  Of course, the shielding may not be good
enough to keep your compass from being affected.  I doubt that many of these
are weatherproof too.  Anyway, Radio Shack used to sell speakers that were
designed to be used near TV sets.  You could also try posting your request to
rec.video or rec.arts.tv.
