Works - few nuances.

Works very well. Installed in early summer. I can't say anything about the performance since I installed the amp from the start. The Bluetooth range is about 6 feet. I only used the headphone jack most of the time - it produces more volume. Sometimes it just stops playing and I have to turn it off for a few minutes. Could it be an overheating issue? I'm not sure if the problem is with this unit or the amp. Generally a good performance for its price. Let's see how long this lasts.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Frequency

Good stereo suitable for cars and automotive electronics

Good cheap alternative to $1000 plus setups. I installed it next to me to use when I'm out hunting or just walking around the area and I'm very happy with it. It's definitely not like these systems when you see people running their SXs that can be heard miles away for who knows what reasons, but it's quite normal for someone who just wants to drive around and listen occasionally. Mine is installed in a cup holder on the dash and it has rained many times without fail.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Minor issues

Decent quality for the price

My only complaint is that it's not loud enough when my boat is moving (17ft open bow with a 3 liter Mercruiser) but it is loud when paused but volume is muted. before maximum volume. Also, condensation sometimes appears on the screen, but this does not affect the functionality. Bluetooth works great and is responsive, has subwoofer connections and great EQ settings. Edit: After adding a subwoofer to take the bass out of the 6.5 speakers, it got significantly louder and the volume reaches a much

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Allow an additional $100-200 for professional installation

Pros: Good radio, nice sound, lots of features Cons: Quite a challenge for a DIYer who has never installed a stereo on a boat or car . I managed to figure it out after a few hours of study. 1) Over twenty different connectors - some pre-installed headers would be nice here 2) Instructions are vague (good for a professional installer). 3) No templates for radio and speaker cutouts 4) Installation instructions and printed instructions are difficult to read - an enlargement of a useful resource is

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some bugs

Sounds great when the engine isn't running

Once installed, sitting in a boat on a trailer this thing sounds GREAT. Good bass response, good features with easy to use bluetooth. Then we turn on the engine. Random and very loud POP sounds. This is inappropriate. I opened a support case at BossAudio.com asking how to resolve this issue. They immediately told me how to start the RMA process, giving them the information I had already given them. Then a few weeks go by and I can't get them to answer at all. Even if we take it back, it will be

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Weight

Manufacturer does not respond to calls or emails

This is a Boss radio with speakers for marine use. We installed it according to the instructions and even made a YouTube video to see if anyone had any problems. After the installation was complete we turned on the system and it sounded fine for about 5 minutes when the sound stopped. I've tried turning it on and off and the bluetooth showing the song, artist, etc. nothing came out of the speakers, no hissing. For callback number and email no response at all. Now I have a 3" hole in my center…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • The list will be long.

9 months decent sound, questionable marine quality

Installed in April 2018 and was happy with the product. Produces quite good sound, speakers seem to be holding up well. It's functionally solid. However, after 2 months I noticed that condensation was building up inside the device, I think due to humidity. 9 months later it just broke; no sound, no light, total power failure. I checked all connections, checked the fuse, everything is fine, the device has not worked for less than a year. My guess is that over time the build up of condensation…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • weak

Do it yourself front panel condensation repair

So my radio fogged up after I turned it on and bench tested it for about an hour and a half. I was very disappointed. But as a professional mechanic, I took it apart down to the front panel. There are about 18 screws in total. I then dried all the water and condensation, then took my heat gun and heated the entire faceplate and circuitry to about 140 degrees. Then I closed it almost completely but put a straw inside to wipe the air and blew out all the air and moisture. The air in the air…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Reliability
