inputs.text: nice around marine deck - ok sony cdxm60ui wanted put good stereo malibu vtx wanted least one sub 6 speakers looking every marine car audio deck decided go sony requirements 1 music played thumb drive type personal music device usb interface 2 marine deck however boat sees fresh water car deck might ok salt combined water real killer 3 must sub output sub control built deck must front rear r l 4 volt low level outputs sony doesnt however 4 must quality wired remote capability least 2 remotes 5 must fit reasonable space decided install glove box custom enclosure built 6 not need cd player 7 keeping mind marine decks dont last forever wanted keep price reasonable way could spend amps speakers looked many decks including higher end kenwood marine systems fusion not fan clarion alpine pyle boss list got short hurry wish pioneer would make marine deck least update remote control works newer decks ive pioneer fan sincewell forever sadly pioneer finally got ruled fusion looks cool appears well built little leery since ive never owned one known anyone owned one length time guess next install family houseboat ill check em kenwood always mystery people seem hot really cold reviews seem way liked kmr700u paper actually started order one took look space required face big perspective didnt see many reviews etc held alpine experiencewith alpine never great reliability ergonomics features standpoint know people swear alpine slick rf wireless remote control manufacturers not use radio frequency wireless remotes complete mystery cuz ir remotes stink alpine apparently thinks stuff sooo good charge lot frankly going put quality amp good speakers lot alpines deck potential sound quality advantage gets diminished imho dont judge grammar spelling im time think clarion might rf wireless remote dont care point rockfort fosgate spotty think cool name jensen not boss pyle im looking something else looking sony process decided maybe id settle sony specifically unit im not giant sony fan always seemed sorta dont know middling reliable started thinking \\maybe thats need\\ something outputs remotes ease use reliability usb without risk unknown use boat want everything work also cheaper solutions uses standard mount die yes said \\when\\ marine gear good chance living short life pop another one easily no special install required like need kenwood kmr700u potentially fusion figured id leave amps speakers make deck weakness compromise 4 volt outs sony provides 2 volt outs figured kicker amps would make difference jumping install paused install hooked amps hooked two speakers directly deck outputs hear sound like would sayuhadequate maybe buying deck think getting amp least two channels install breeze breezy install guess follow directions unlike people posted reviews deck deck connected two kicker marine 4 channel amps one amp bridged 2 channels provide 10\\ kicker marine sub power btw built ported box sub exceeded expectations 10\\ sub quite bit although building custom ported box fits tight area long process six channels drive kicker marine component speakers seems good matchup sony goodies deck two mono subwoofer rca outs nice im currently using one also front rear left right rca outs deck high pass low pass settings im currently set 100 120hz cant remember sounds right setup includes several preset equalizer curves set custom curve control limited personally like preset options also set bass input level number db not bump bump bump guy like fairly balanced sound little extra bass ive set 1db right set display red blue boat red black guess chose display good controls pretty intuitive remote control works great installed display remote front drive special mount made control deck driving no effort wiring easy dont understand deck manufacturers dont think harder design remotes round hard cut really good round hole even difficult make round custom mount b make remote housing deep apple make apple air laptop like inch thickwhy cant sony make deck remote 12 34 inch thick instead 3 12 stiff cables sticking directly back thin could mounted many locations without cutting 3\\ diameter hold something 12 thick rectangular wired remote mounted flat surface read boat transom small hole behind feed wiring might sell owners didnt cut big hole boats c could wireless no cable might loose lcd display fine transom instance rant fm radio works fine doesnt built hd radio many waterways terrible radio coverage anyway one thing marine radios need station memory nonvolatile many boat owners disconnect battery boat not use prevent inadvertent battery drain loose stations sometimes setup put stations nonvolatile memory station presets would kept loose unit usb works ok use thumb drive dont get lot function havent tried ipod anything sounds good digital media sensitive type encoding mp3 instance low quality encoding sound vary depending quality decoder electronics behind use high quality formats sound good btw usb not front cable pulled behind im actually glad unit cd sounds good memory buffer eliminate skips not planning use cd much lot people still keep cds cars bring boat havent tried everything unit worked great 7 day shasta lake trip got workout far great everyone seems able figure operate system cranks wired remote works well never get info remotes lcd get deck display didnt expect oh dont tower speakers yet may not get not really something missed im thinking adding less powerful sub rear side well like small bazooka fill isnt necessary maybe ill use money gasthat necessary far im happy around nice deck price tad high im not seeing much discounting probably means probably selling well anyway recommend deck things use cheers
