Amazing sound, nice features and good looks

To be honest I've never been interested in this brand before and after talking to someone I decided to look into it. I installed it on a 26ft Cobia and used 4 Kenwood KFC 1653 marine speakers. I was blown away by the sound quality. It's definitely an upgrade from what I've heard before. Download the app and your phone becomes a remote control. Kids love it too as they can now just play their music through the system - not sure I like it as much as they do. I recommend this block.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Compatibility

Fusion is awesome. Sony sucks

Absolutely fantastic. My opinion on 1 day use. I have tried 2 Sony radios in 2 years. Sony is terrible. I cut and cut and realized these were speakers. Spend €600 on new speakers. Thought it was the wiring. no The Sony stereo just sucks. both. I love this fusion. I installed it in 10 minutes and it's "KISS". so easy and well done. the app is great too. Love it. I have awesome new foosball speakers! Thank you Sony I still love fusions. The sound quality is better than ever. And I love zones 1…

Pros
  • Easy to use

Great product - quality sound

Bought for our boat and sounds great. The smartphone app is a bit shaky. I don't use it, but my iWatch is connected to my phone so I can control the volume etc from the source when playing through the radio on my phone. It would have been nice if the USB port was on the front of the unit (with a rubber edge) as it would require mounting the USB stick to get to the back of the radio which could be problematic depending on the configuration. paired with Rockford speakers and it's really great…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Good but not great

Love This Radio - Marine Stereos

Love this radio! The user interface is very easy to understand and use for the average person. Multiple people can connect their phones with Bluetooth, and then you can easily switch devices. Even without an external subwoofer amplifier, the sound is phenomenal. Replacing an existing radio is easy as all you need to do is solder the weld wires to the color coded wires on your existing wiring harness. It took me 20 minutes to solder and 10 minutes to install into the boat console. 200% better…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some difficulties

the best stereo system i have ever installed on my boat

As far as marine stereo goes, this is the best i have ever used. It also has large buttons and a simplified display that works great when moving through the water. I have installed several head units in cars and on my boat. The bracket was different from the old aluminum rail. It was a plastic panel with 4 stainless steel screws that was easy to assemble. This unit is lighter than most and obviously more waterproof than other "marine quality" stereos I've used in the past. The wiring is the…

Pros
  • easy install
Cons
  • nuanced

Very Important Issue

Although the device works as advertised, Fusion Customer Support has confirmed the fatal error. I use my iPhone via bluetooth to play my games like a lot of people these days. All the speakers/headphones I have allow me to change the volume using the volume buttons on my phone except the RA70. It turns out that the volume buttons on the iPhone X don't affect the RA70 in any way. The company has confirmed that it does, and that makes it useless as you have to use their app to change the volume…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Negative Result Present

Great unit, bad wiring harness

Here is my email to Fusion support: I have 2 sets of speakers: Zone 1 - Main Cabin, Zone 2 - Flybridge. Both the left and right sides of Zone 2 work great when connected to either set of speakers. The issue is related to Zone 1. The left zone of Zone 1 loses connection when the wire harness is moved, causing the speaker to fail. Zone 1 on the right doesn't work at all, I can't get any sound out of this cable. The problem is the wiring harness, because when I connect the main cabin speakers to…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • reliability
