About the only negative I will mention is that the connection lines are kinda light gauge, probably <14g. It has a 10amp fuse and I'd say the wire would melt before the fuse would blow unfortunately. Why be so cheap on the connection wire when the rest of the package seems quite adequate? How much could the next size or two up actually cost extra? Otherwise, it's a reasonably priced unit for a 19ft Yamaha SX192. Display is easy to read and operation is pretty straightforward. If any quirks comes along I'll update. Can't talk of longevity, but here's to hoping. One star off for the light gauge connection wires.
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!!!!

The four RCA outs are NOT for 4 channel Front and Rear
Please be aware if you plan to use this head unit to output 4 channels to an external amp. Incredibly - it does not!!! I purchased this unit to upgrade my older Sony (DXS-MS60). It does not provide the same functionality. The '2 PREOUT' and 'x4' with this unit comes with caveats. As you can see in my pic, the 2 preouts are REAR and SUB. They are not for Front and Rear as with my older Sony, and most other head units with 4 channel capability. In short - the REAR outs means ONLY two channels available for external amplification. The other outs are for a sub. 4 channel functionality on this unit only applies to the INTERNAL amplifier!!!!!!! Not sure why they restricted the RCA outs to only 2 channels when the unit is processing 4 internally. I thought I was missing something , so I called Sony customer service. After being put on hold several times and about 30 minutes explaining to the representative my exact concern, the above indeed was confirmed - the 2 PREOUTS do not provide 4 channels. Do not make my mistake. I purchased several months ago, and only recently had a chance to install. So not only did I miss the Amazon Return window, but the Sony representative confirmed they would not accept the return because the unit was not defective. I guess I'm stuck and will keep for a future 2 channel install. Chances of my new 4 -channel unit being a Sony = ZERO.

Put this unit in my 27 bowrider replacing an older Sony unit. The unit is much smaller in depth due to the lack of the CD player. It has a wiring harness with all the leads marked by color coding for what position (front/back-left/right) and polarity. I can see the display just fine in the sunlight so no problem there. I paired it with 4 Infinity marine speakers and the DSXM55BT drives them well. Cranked up I can here the music while underway. The Bluetooth connects well with no issue and radio stations tune in clear. Overall, I feel this is a real nice unit for the money, installed easily, manual is straight forward and once you get the hang of the controls/menu it's fairly intuitive. My only complaint is when I shut the batteries off on the boat the unit loses its presets, but it's fairly quick to re-memorize them with the 6 preset buttons and that is not the fault of the unit. I would have no problem recommending this unit and it does have pre-outs for an amp if needed to expand or add a bass speaker. The RM-X11M is the optional wired remote the manual says that goes with this unit.
