Well since im running a generator now i figure i might as well get something better to listen to then the yamaha. Ive never set a boat stereo up before and dont need anything real fancy, but want something easy to use and will hold up.

I found this https://www.amazon.com/BOSS-MGR350B-MECH-LESS-Audio-Streaming/dp/B00VV6Y7O2/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1465841896&sr=1-7&keywords=marine+stereo and was wondering if anyone had used something similar? I was also thinking of just mounting 2 speaker in my center consul facing forward, thoughts?

wow!Wish I seen that before I bought the Bose Bluetooth unit

I used the JBL version of the unit you are looking at and love it. Mount 2 speakers in the center console and you are good to go.

I almost went with this unit but then found a Boss unit that came with two 6.5 speakers and the housing that the deck goes in for less then that stereo and speakers... I really didn't have room in my dash for the round stereo but had room under my console so I made a shelf and wired it up... I put my speakers in my transom face towards the deck and the sound is great for listening over the genny... its not a bumping system but is plenty loud...

Any of you have issues picking up stations when running lights? I've got a marine stereo/cd/Bluetooth and 4 Infiniti speakers with antenna but when the yammys and lights are running I can't just listen to the stereo.

I put a bosch 360 jobsite radio on my boat and I love it. I can run it off of the 18v lithium drill battery or generator. Its great because I can run it all night and not worry about draining the battery. Also it can easily be carried off onto the beach for camping, tailgating or whatever you want to do. Also the thing sounds way better than any cheap boat stereo that I have ever heard. I highly recommend it.

I do as far as listening to the Radio stations... MP3 or bluetooth is fine...

I had the same system before I put a cheap marine stereo and my new stereo does a better job... could be because the boat stereo is very directional... but it sure nice that its tucked out of the way and not on the floor or taking up usable space on the boat... but don't get me wrong I love my bosch box... I use the crap out of it in the shop... love that it charges the batteries and has outlets...

Rockford PMX-2 with 4 8" speakers! Sounds good, but once I add the amp it will sound great!

Rockford pMX 2 for head unit, four Rockford 8-inch speakers, Rockford power series t400-2 amp. Sounds good enough to hear over my motor running down river

I put in a wet sound stealth 10 and it's bad ass

I have the JBL version and works great, mounted my amp under the console and use 4-8" wakeboard speakers mounted to my video deck along with a 10" Sub tube and sounds great! Love having some tunes on the boat, makes the night go much nicer, especially when scouting or very slow. And 1 thing we have definitely noticed, carp love hip hop music for some reason!
