Your best bet is to skip the marine units altogether. You pay a premium for the marine label and a normal auto head unit will probably last just as long if you give it reasonable protection. I've had a nice Alpine car stereo in my boat for years with no problem and I paid a lot less for that than a many cheap ass marine units. More power and more features per dollar.

It's a different story with speakers however.

That stereo is a good deal. Someone gave me a new jensen or I would have bought it.

I agree with NH, but if you plan on adding a remote then most units are only offer when paired with a marine radio. We are a Alpine dealer and only their Marine decks can be used with their remotes.

Not all. Mine is a CDA9833 (not a marine unit) and and it did come with a remote even though I rarely use it. Things must be different today though.

I meant a installed remote, like at the swim platform or in the cabin.

Panasonic is hard to beat. They have a ton of features and are cheap. I've run one over 7 yr in my boat.
