Build my stereo

[corey331]

Good catch, didn't see that when I was picking out the system. Basically wanted to keep all the components from the same manufacturer. I'd go with the better sub as well.

My OCD won't let me use different manufacturers. LOL.

Same here, gotta be matching!!! My Ranger bassboat has all Lowrance electronics on it. I wasn't about to mix and match!

Did you get the XM tuner? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_220SXV300/SiriusXM-SXV300V1-Tuner.html

No...decided not to. I may add that later.

Think you will want a remote?

You mean a wired in remote? No...we never beach and hang out. I'll be using my ipod bluetooth style most of the time. At least I think I will be...

 

[keith4216]

A wireless remote. Guess I'm just use to having the radio down under and needing a remote to not have to crawl under to change stuff.

 

[undecided]

I forgot to mention I have the small round Remote on the passengers side. I had looked into those small round head units but the seem to lack some options. I dont know if you are going to be using SIRIUSxm radio, thats what I use and the Jensen has the Sirius unit built into the Head unit. All I had to do was buy a small amp for under the dash
The Jensen has every option for the passenger, which I like because usually its my Wife in the passengers seat and she can operate the remote while I can concentrate on the operation of the vessel.

That's why I went with the Alpine. They offer a nice little wireless remote that is waterproof and even floats!!! When we are coved out I just leave it in a cup holder on my swim platform so I can change the music while floating and enjoying some beverages!

I would be my dumbazz to forget about it being in my cup holder, and end up losing it. Hell I look for my phone and ends up I'm talking on it. I do like the idea of the wireless remote.

My first one is probably still floating back in 76 Falls somewhere....

This is my first boat with tunes and I'm loving it. I got the cheapest Alpine deck that takes USB sticks running the
4 stock Checkmate speakers and a little Punch 45 running a 10" sub jammed up under the passenger front.
It sounds great. Put a few hundred songs on the memory stick and I'm good to go.
This thread's got me dreaming of cruising.
