UPDATE - after two summer seasons of usage this unit is working VERY well. It pumps enough RMS to feed stock JBL 6 1/2" speakers x 4 on a 2015 Yamaha SX192. Completely satisfied as the OEM Clarion, if available, would be >$200, and IT only lasted 3 seasons before giving up the ghost. Although the wiring, as previously mentioned, is somewhat a light gauge, it's still providing adequate "bump" to the speakers so I cannot complain. Bluetooth connection is stable to Android, cannot comment on Apple connections. There's NOTHING to dislike at the $100 price point. Bumping up my rating to 5 stars!!!!
My one complaint with this and most other marine radios is they loose their settings when power is removed. Common Sony (and others manufacturers) most boat owners use battery disconnect switches to make sure they can crank their boats when they return. This is because some of us only use our boats every few weeks. So when you completely remove power from this unit it forgets all it's presets, it forgets all its bluetooth pairings, it forgets everything. You know, there is such a thing as "flash memory" and it doesn't cost all that much.
All the buttons and the volume knob feel high quality. I've had it in a few rain storms and it hasn't missed a beat.
Even over bluetooth the audio is crisp and clear.
Would recommend.
