I bought a Ski Centurion Elite V 22′ boat and wanted to upgrade the stereo system from the existing Alpine unit (which didn’t have an i-pod port) and the older marine speakers. I installed this Sony Amp, along with the Sony CDXM60UI Marine Stereo and 6 Polk DB-651 speakers (4 in the boat & 2 on the tower). This combination has a clean crisp sound, even at a higher volume, with a nice bass. I’m so impressed with this Sony Stereo and all of its features. My installer was also impressed with how this system sounded. I would recommend it highly.

Solid marine stereo. IPOD interface could use some work. You have to play with it a little to get used to the interface. Leaving the controls on the IPOD would be much easier.

Purchased this unit to replace my old one. Chose it for the USB iPod interface. Great unit. Local iPod interface is a bit difficult to use, but holding the MODE button down for a few seconds switches the UI back to the iPod, which is a MUST with teenagers on the boat. Added a USB extension so the kids could plug in behind the drivers seat and change the songs so I can concentrate on driving. Unit has plenty of power, separate sub outputs. One thing I recommend is shortening the ‘auto-off’ feature so you don’t run the boats battery down at night.

This is the third stereo I’ve had in my boat and I like it. It has lots of features and was very easy to install. Based on the other two stereo’s I have used, this one plays cleaner, loader and allows my kids to use their MP3 players. I especially like the ability to put an MP3 CD in and let it play on shuffle for the whole afternoon. Some stereos take awhile to find the next random song, this one does it very quickly which is a big plus. The wireless remote is a nice feature but you have to be facing the stereo. The only drawback is when you change the volume if you accidently push on the volume knob, you go to the setup menu. Just a bit of a nuisance.
