Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this stereo for my boat based on past reviews and its price. I almost rated this 3 stars, but it's not the stereo's fault that I couldn't get an answer from the supplier for a problem I had. So, here's the scoop:
Pros:
1. The stereo looks and sound good.
2. Lots of modes and options to choose from when playing music.
3. Shipping was fast.
Cons:
1. While installation is standard using the single DIN mount, there is no A4/4mm stud provided for securing the rear of the unit. This stereo is supposed to be for marine applications, and most boats need to secure the radio from the rear also. Try and find the stud required at the local hardware store...good luck.
2. When the air temp is above 95, the unit has thermal runaway. Bottom line, once it starts to heat up, it keeps heating up so it gets so hot you can't touch it. Below 95, it seems to maintain the air temp around it. This is what I wrote in about through Amazon to the supplier, but never did get a response, and why I almost rated it 3 stars.
3. The warranty from this supplier is 21 days and they reserve the right to decide everything regardless. So if you buy it, get it installed and check everything quickly, because after 3-weeks, your SOL. Again, they never answered my email about it overheating. The summers here are normally above 95 and that's when we are at the lake. I just hope it holds up.
4. The contols are too confusing. You have to keep the book in you glove box, because you're always referring to it.For the money, it's worth it. It does sound good. I only hope the heating problem doesn't become a big issue.
