Marine Stereo

[champ]

Looking for suggestions for a marine stereo. Currently have a Kenwood KMR???? something. Worked just fine for a lot of years. Don't need anything fancy except bluetooth.

21' walkaround.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Kenwood still makes marine stereos with Bluetooth. KMR-D382MR retails for $180 Plays CD's. KMR-M332BT retails for $160 Media receiver (does not play CD's). These units are water resistant, not waterproof suggest using a cover if out in the open. Will fit in the old opening, likely same wiring. Lots of sellers online. Many options if looking for a full marine type of stereo, but will cost considerably more money. Good luck

You could also mount the me wood in the cabin and get one of their wired remotes and install it at the helm https://www.crutchfield.com/S-e2mjOwHpHSv/p_113RC55MR/Kenwood-KCA-RC55MR.html?XVINQ=GZ0&XVVer=OUN&awcr=628170179927&awdv=m&awnw=g&awug=9189747&awkw=pla-294801808027&awmt=&awat=pla&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4Oe4BhCcARIsADQ0cskUoMhlxl29oL7j7dVT 0FkVJDSAzzb1IXHRBcvVvB87Kvdwy6dnIAYaAi77EALw_wcB

Big thumbs up on Gerry's post. Also, Crutchfield is the Gold Standard of online dealers. Great site for information....they have a category specifically for Marine Stereo.

Boss Audio is decent...I have an amp that has bluetooth built in and can get away without a head unit or you can do small head unit for on/off control and bluetooth controls of your device. Awesome sound for 2 or 4 speakers and can bluetooth all day and then some with the phone. Wont break the bank either.

Curious. Boss audio? Or Bose Audio?

Boss Audio Speakers are ok & Pyle Amplifier....I thought the amp was the same brand.
