Default Whats the best marine radio. AM / FM Receiver.

It has to play MP3's read CD CDr CDRW's have a remote wireless or wired.

Whats good bang for the buck. It does not have to have a lot of power I can add an amp but if it comes high power thats great too.

Thanks Rob

Best bang for the buck.

Marine Head unit with the aforementioned qualifications

Sony CDX-50M $157

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=14678

Marine Remote (wired)
Sony RMXM-10W

Found the best price for this here:
http://www.partstore.com/
(76.95 + tax and shipping for me was $92.02) Remote Only

With this one you'll still need a $30 unilink cable and 1/4" plug Male/Female end wired remote cable $5.

Or it can be purchased complete from these guys for a couple dollars more..

Hope this helps.

I have been looking at this unit. I had a sony receiver in my last boat and it was hard to make it skip.

Thanks for the info.

It drives my set of JL Audio 6x9s and 6" coaxials nicely on the factory amp at mid volume levels 20-22, without any noticeable distortion.
