what the best cheap stereo that won't break say under 125.00 for the player. Boss ,pyle,sony, ..etc.? any used ones out there (no salt)?

I have a used Sony stereo with CD and wireless remote I recently pulled out of my boat with 4 matching Sony 6.5" speakers. I'd sell it all for $125 shipped. PM, if interested, and I'll get you some details and pics.

West marine has there house brand thats not bad. Plus radios in boats have to be replaced often due to dampness. Not near as bad if its not salt air and water.

i purchased a dual from west marine for $99.00 it has usb and aux input. It also has 2 rca outputs and sub woofer control. it rocks pretty damn good.

i purchased a fusion with wired remote, cd player, aux inputs ,preamp outputs, and all water proof $95 shipped off ebay

Fusion is the best there is in salt.

I'd have to say, without external amps, I'd go with the JVC units. Almost always the best amps for the price in a single head unit. Kenwood makes some nice new units, but the JVC has the better amp IMO.

Amazing what less than $200 buys you nowadays.

Sony, JVC, Kenwood would be the first to come to mind. You should find anyone of these with remote for under $100.00.

BTW. JVC mobile is now being built by Kenwood. Anything produced in the last couple of years have the same basic internals.

I had forgotten about the merger with JVC. The JVC specs still seem strong, but I've noticed Kenwood coming up with some decent models lately.

pyle marine. Got one with CD player and MPS hook ups on sale for 69 bucks at west marine. I dont see the point in wasting money on a 300-400 deck in a boat, chances are your not using it that much, and as long as it has amp hook ups and has a good 4 channels for smaller speakers its good to go.
