Dual MXCP66 In-Dash Marine AM/FM/CD/MP3 Receiver and Speaker Combo Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the feature set of this unit, it provides everything I need in a great package, with enough audio output for my needs and the USB Function means I can toss a USB thumb drive in it and play all my favorites, but when done I can grab that and throw it in my car and do the same. Havin the aux means I can use any MP-3 player, Mine, my buddys or a fellow rafter who has killer tunes but no tunes on his boat. This also is cool cause I can use a smart phone and play Pandora off of my Droid. CD/R RW is great cause I can burn a CD with a whole days worth of music and keep it on the boat.
So why the low rating, the title says it all. This thing for whatever reason will draw the power down on my boat battery if I leave the keep alive circut connected to the power buss and turn the unit off. Seems like a no brainer to turn the battery switch off each time, but the one time you forget, BAM! you got a dead battery on the boat in a matter of a week. I wonder if it is turning itself on or something, and then running the bat down, because the keep alive voltage is WAY WAY to small to draw down the AGM batts I have on the boat by itself....
May have to take it back over to West Marine and change it out for another head unit, maybe that will fix it, but I am giving folks a heads up. If you only have one battery in your boat, be aware of this potential problem.
As for the features and such, it is a great unit, reliable, with good audio quality. Speakers are just OK, and the press on covers tend to bounce out. Because my speakers are mounted facing down out of my electronics box I had to jam a bit of thin plastic in the groove with the cover to keep em from falling out when I hit a wake or running "Outside the Gate". This is better than gluing them so I can get em off if I need to. Overall I am happy, and would be elated if I did not have this problem keep showing up.

Dual MXCP50 AM/FM/CD, 4X45W, With 6 1/2" Speaker Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed this radio in my boat(Searayder F16 Jetboat) this past Saturday, it fit easily into the same opening as my former radio, used the instructions for quick ref. on using the scan and adj. buttons to set the stations. The speakers that came with this radio have Great! bass and I am so glad they were included, I was just looking for a radio/cd player because I thought my speakers were ok, but they were falling apart when I went to change them for the new ones. I would buy this radio again!, maybe for my Golf Cart. I hope this review is helpful.

Teaming the Dual MX-D50 marine CD player/receiver with a pair of Dual DM-P66 6.5-inch speakers, this audio combo pack includes all the essentials for building a boat-based stereo system. The receiver features a built-in amplifier (45 watts peak x 4) to power the speakers, along with a host of marine-ready extras, such as clear-coated circuit boards, a rust-resistant chassis, and a UV-resistant face with a green display. As a result, the stereo stands up to light rains, ocean spray, scorching sun, and almost any other weather condition. The CD player, meanwhile, is compatible with both CDs and most CD-Rs, letting users play both store-bought discs and custom discs burned on a computer. And should folks tire of prerecorded music, they scan switch to the integrated AM/FM tuner, which offers 18 FM and 6 AM presets for quick tuning.
The other half of the bundle--the pair of DM-P66 speakers--is also designed to withstand harsh weather thanks to the one-piece corrosion-resistant ABS baskets, integrated grilles, and rust-resistant self-tapping screws. Driver-wise, each speaker sports a 6.5-inch injection-molded polypropylene cone woofer with a poly-coated cloth surround and polypropylene "whizzer" cone tweeter. Combined, the drivers produce an impressive frequency response of 45 Hz to 15 kHz that's even audible over the top of a steady boat engine.
Further versatility stems from the system's quartet of EQ presets (classics, pop, rock, and flat), which let listeners customize the audio settings based on genre and taste. And finally, the system offers an auxiliary input that connects a portable audio source, such as a cassette deck, iPod, MP3 player, or satellite radio receiver, for playback over the speakers. The auxiliary jacks are connected to a 6-inch-long pigtail attached to the back of the unit.
Additional features include selectable European/U.S. tuning, a rotary control for all audio adjustments, pre-amp outputs, a clock, and speaker power handling of 2 to 20 watts RMS (60 watts peak). The speakers require a mounting depth of 2.27 inches with a cutout diameter of 5.07 inches. In addition, entire package carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
What's in the Box CD player/receiver, two marine speakers with grilles, sleeve, trim ring, wiring harness, radio removal tools, metal support strap, six ISO-mount screws, bolt, machine screw with two washers, six flat washers, two nuts, star washer, two self-adhesive screw hole covers, two 11.75-foot speaker cables, eight self-tapping screws, eight speed clips, user's manuals.

Boss MR1600W Marine CE Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed this unit in my Crownline 266 CCR to replace the failed factory TAPE deck...lol.
Easy to install, great sound, solid construction, the included remote wiring easily made it to my swim platform where I installed it for easy access when socializing behind the boat at the sand bar.
One feature I was pleasantly surprised to see that isn't really mentioned in the documentation on line or in the manual is that even if you cut power to this unit completely (like disconnecting the battery or using a battery switch,) the unit remembers all your settings and stations. VERY nice feature to have on a boat that is stored during the week and used on the weekends.
Over all...very happy with this purchase and recommend it for anyone looking to buy. The price here was as much as I could find it for re-firbed on EBay.
PS...BOSS Marin equipment is made by Jenson.

Sony XSMP1620W Marine Speaker, 6.5-Inch Woofer, and 2-Inch Tweeter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent the extra money on the Sony speakers because I thought their materials/build quality would hold up better in the harsh marine environment, but after about a month on our 38 foot catamaran these speakers started to rust! Gradually a brown streak stained the speaker from the center cone to the bottom, leaching onto the fiberglass underneath it. While they still worked, I was surprised that a Sony product would start to degrade as fast as it did. Maybe it's impossible to build a speaker that won't do this, but in that case they should come in the color brown... Oh, the sound was great, so they still get two stars.

Boss MR60W 6.5-Inch 2-Way Marine Speakers (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)2 of the 4 speakers on our boat broke. We order 2 (at about $23/each) planning to only replace the broken ones. We really wanted a matched set, but couldn't justify paying close to $100 for 4 when we really only needed 2. We were pleasantly surprised when each order was actually a pair of speakers. For under $50 we now have 4 matching speakers that look and sound great.
Absolutely no complaints.

Boss MR1560DI Marine MP3-Compatible Digital Media Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We always use an Ipod when we are on the boat, so this sounded great! Installation was easy, I have two amps and this has pre amp outputs for front, rear and sub woofer so I just had to plug them in. Great sound, doesn't have any different sound features, just bass and treble adjustments along with bass boost if you have a sub woofer, but it sounds great. When you put your Ipod inside, which is pretty easy, it is secure so you don't have to worry about it getting wet or bouncing all over you dash. It also charges when it is docked inside. Won't support the Iphone, but I have had just about every Ipod docked in it and they all worked. The "touch pad" controls are not as sensitive or fast as you would think, sometime you have to touch them a few time to get it to work. The wireless remote is great. My stereo is mounted at an angle (2001 Ski Centurion)and if you are sitting down in the back set you need to hold the remote up high to work, not a big deal. The only real negative thing that I have with the stereo is that if you find a specific song, playlist or whatever it is time consuming and you will need the directions until you have done it a few time. The great thing is though, it has an aux input so you can always plug another Ipod in that way.

PYLE PLMR19W AM/FM-MPX PLL Tuning Radio with SD/MMC/USB and Weather Band Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I couldn't find a whole lot of reviews of this product when I was shopping so I'm making it a point to review it for future shoppers.
First things first. There are several websites that state that this is a CD-R player. I can assure you that there is NO CD player on this unit. It is strictly SD card, USB, and radio.
I also found one owners manual that stated how to remove the detachable face. well there is no "detachable face" its a one piece unit.
The first thing I noticed when I pulled it out of the box is that it is extremely light. (I'm thinking cheaply made) it may be however that it just doesn't have a cd player in there to weigh it down i don't know.
After a couple days of use, I have decided that it is pretty cheaply made, the volume knob is grinding and i can feel considerable resistance on parts of the rotation. It is also kind of loose or wabbly. (technical term)
Another downside I've found is that I can't search tracks or directories in USB mode like I thought I was going to be able to do. So now I've got like 600 songs on a flash drive plugged into it and the only thing I can do is skip ahead by 1 track or skip ahead by 10 tracks at a time. It does list what the song title is and the directory that it's in but I can't search through the directories at all.
There are a couple different owners manuals for this thing. One is on pyles website, but it's different than the one that came with my unit. The one on plyles websites gives detailed intructions on how to search through directories, (which doesn't work) and on my manual there is no indication of how to do so.
But when i press the button to search for tracks i do get a "trk srch" display, but when i turn the volume knob to actually search through them (as per pyles website) the only thing that happens is the volume goes up :)
It seems to be a decent unit for the price. $73 plus shipping so i can't complain too much. radio and weather band work as described. I haven't plugged an sd card in there yet so i can't comment on that function.
if you have questions before purchasing and want an actual owners answer email me at foehammer at citcom net
I purchased this unit mainly for the "marine" aspect of it because it's going in my jeep wrangler that often sees some stray water inside of the vehicle. we'll see how it holds up.

Sony RMX11M Marine 2.5-Inch Splash-Proof Wired Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a hot tub with a Sony marine stereo built into the side. This means you can turn it on / off before you get in, but then you're stuck with whatever is on the radio.
I bought this unit, mounted it next to the tub in a gray weatherproof electrical box, ran conduit from the box to the stereo and voila! I can now turn it on / off, change the source, control volume and skip tracks on CDs without getting out of the tub. It came with a 20 foot extension for the main control cable, but I had to buy extensions for the red & black power cables.

Pioneer TS-MR1640 6.5-Inch 2-Way Marine Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased two sets of these for mine and my friends horse trailers. May sound strange to some of you but horse trailers and some campers have speakers on the outside to listen while hangig out. I only found marine speakers for this. I had no problems with the install and they have held up great. It has been over a year now with good results. I wish they were a better sound quality but that could be my stereo etc. I would like to be able to turn them up a bit more without distortion but they are really pretty good for my application.

Sony XSMP1610W Marine 6.5-Inch Dual Cone Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bough a pair of these speakers for the interior of my power boat because I trusted Sony. At the beginning, I was pleased with the quality of sound I got for the price, but my satisfaction did not last too long since both speakers lasted barely a year. About 9 months after I installed them the woofer cones showed brownish spots that looked like mold. Sometime after that, they warped, and eventually they blew up. They simply broke like a cracker!!!. There was no abusive use of them, whatsoever. No overpowering or water splashing. They may have only been exposed to direct sunlight for about 50 hours. I do not recommend this product, unless you install them well away from sunlight, salt and water.

Sony CDXM60UI Marine CD Receiver MP3/WMA/AAC Player with USB Wire for iPod and USB Devices (White/Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the third stereo I've had in my boat and I like it. It has lots of features and was very easy to install. Based on the other two stereo's I have used, this one plays cleaner, loader and allows my kids to use their MP3 players. I especially like the ability to put an MP3 CD in and let it play on shuffle for the whole afternoon. Some stereos take awhile to find the next random song, this one does it very quickly which is a big plus. The wireless remote is a nice feature but you have to be facing the stereo. The only drawback is when you change the volume if you accidently push on the volume knob, you go to the setup menu. Just a bit of a nuisance.

Sony CDXH910UI Marine CD Receiver MP3/WMA/AAC Player with USB Wire for iPod and USB Devices (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, it works. It resists splashes, but its faceplate is giant. You would like you would get a high-res display or some benefit to having such a big faceplate but nope. I bought this because it was pretty, I should have been looking at features like bluetooth audio for example. It works as expected and sounds great, the over sized faceplate and price and the lack of bluetooth are the only cons. Also don't buy this unless you can mount it somewhere very easily accessible because the display is hard to read at odd angles.
