🌊 BOSS Audio Systems MRANT10 Weatherproof Marine Dipole Hideaway Antenna,Black: High-Performance Solution for Marine Communications Review

It's not the SOLID full stereo feel you're most likely imagining as your previous ones. Upon unboxing, I literally thought this device was used to extract parts just because it looks completely empty inside. To be fair, once I completed the installation and turned it on, it did everything it said it would, even surviving the initial downpour. For the price, I certainly can't complain. For those of you who are stereo and music lovers, this device will most likely not work the way you want it to.

This unit replaced an almost identical unit that failed after two years. Once installed, the device would initially not turn on at all until I played with the detachable bezel and brought it to life. It then failed completely after a month in the boat (unused). He was completely dead and unresponsive. When I tried to return it, Revane said the return period had expired. Delivered June 1st, installed June 5th, died July 4th. I'm tech savvy enough to make sure the wiring harness gets 12V, but…

This is a terrible product. It was professionally installed and only lasted 10 months. Less than 30 hours have been used. First, the Bluetooth is of low quality, so the output from the Bluetooth is very poor. Most importantly, after only 5 months, the volume steadily increases and decreases from quiet to normal. More recently, around the 7 month mark, the bezel didn't stay straight and stayed connected. I've probably only deleted it 10 times, so I can't imagine it could cause the connection to…

Bought this for my pontoon boat and had problems right out of the box. The outside diameter of the centering feature on the bezel was almost 0.0700 inches larger than the inside diameter of the coaxial electrical connector/bracket. Clamp making it impossible to mount to surfaces less than 3/8 inch thick. Undeterred (I hate sitting on lakes in silence) I slipped the problematic piece into a mandrel and machined it to size. Problem #1 solved. Then came problem #2: The plug didn't fit in the back…

Get it from someone with a PhD in Electrical Engineering who is also a radio amateur. This is nothing more than a placebo antenna. You have the same reception with or without this antenna. The problem is that it's made up of multiple bits screwed together and pressed against each other and won't complete the circuit. In fact, some parts are painted and actually separate the antenna. I was able to "fix" it by sanding off the paint and using conductive paste on all the connections to bond them…

The outside diameter of the centering feature on the bezel was almost 0.0700 inch larger than the inside diameter of the coaxial electrical connector/mounting clip, making it impossible to mount to surfaces less than 3/8 inch thick. Undeterred (I hate sitting still on lakes) I stuck the problematic element into a mandrel and processed it. Problem #1 Solved Then came problem #2: The plug didn't fit into the back of my radio…

I mean it really helps boost the FM radio but when you're in a garage or somewhere underground it gets fuzzy. I know it's for naval purposes so can't really complain. Another downside is that it only comes in a plastic bag. It would be nice if there were hints or some useful tips to maximize performance. I had to replace my old antenna motor on my Acura integra and really didn't want to replace it with an old clunky transmitter. So I bought this one instead. It is very good. I removed the panel
