Posted April 27, 201411 yr Hey guys I am looking to upgrade my head unit in my boat. I am redoing the hole thing. I have two 15 SSA in ported boxes. (Still waiting on this stuff) For highs I have eight Hertz 6.5" at 4 ohms with two Hertz amps running them in stereo. I dont have room for and head other than a 1-Din. I have a marine Kenwood now in boat with two wired remotes. Bluetooth is a must! My Kenwood now is not and running a cable to phone sucks. I play 90% of my music from phone. I am willing to ditch the wired remotes for a better head. I did order Kenwoods new marine unit it is Bluetooth but feel there is better.... I want good eq controls,is higher rca volts better? The new Kenwood was like $130.00 thats just to cheap.... Looking to spend $300-500.00 And it does not need to be marine it is in a dry place. So Alpine best?? Or??Ty guys for all the help!!!!!
April 27, 201411 yr Author Here is the one i just bought but feel it is cheap with little to no EQ settings and the rca volts are only 2.5? http://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/marine/kmr-d558bt/index.html This looks sweet...??? http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/cde-hd149bt/ Edited April 27, 201411 yr by skydog
April 27, 201411 yr Author Pioneer 80prs maybe? Thank you yes was looking at that. MMMMMM Is that your pic? Is the volts on rca outs a big thing?

April 28, 201411 yr I just have a volume knob in my boat. Fuck the headunit.LolThat wasn't a joke. Actually I have 4. One for overall. One for the in boats, one for the towers and one for the sub. Overall is all you need, but sometimes I like to change the balance for when swimming off the back or partying at the island. Just using some Blue Velvet analog pots. Sound killer. There is a proc after each volume source too...
April 28, 201411 yr Author The new HU even shows battery volts kick ass!! :-) That rocks and a big help in my boat! :-)
April 28, 201411 yr Author Hey guys love to stream music from my phone Bluetooth but does that kill the sq? If so whats the best way to play music from my phone then? I see the new HU takes sd card, would that be better? Ty
April 28, 201411 yr I bought a cheap tablet to just leave on the boat connected to a hard drive. Stream via direct connection. You can use your other device as a remote for it. More off topic. 1200hp 15psi on a....?
April 28, 201411 yr The bluetooth streaming in general is lackluster, kills battery, but is convenient. On plane with all the noise sources floating around you may not notice. Sitting still it'd bug me.* *never tried on plane either
April 28, 201411 yr Author Ty for the great info. Its a 600" Merlin 8.3 Whipple meth injection. Makes over 1200hp on pump gas! :-) Should run mid 130s this year.....

Sorry for all the questions man.Thanks a ton!! :-)
April 28, 201411 yr Trick comes down to getting an Android that can charge and access a hard drive at the same time. Only one I know of (personally) is the Nexus 7 2012 using a custom ROM by Timur. That being said this can be simplified if you have less than 64gb of music as a standard microSD can be had in that size.

April 28, 201411 yr Author Sorry starting to get over my head some. Damn it lol. I have a mico sd in my phone can I just pop that out with a sd standard size adapter and put in new head unit then?
April 28, 201411 yr Sorry starting to get over my head some. Damn it lol. I have a mico sd in my phone can I just pop that out with a sd standard size adapter and put in new head unit then?Most likely. It SUCKS to peruse music on a headunit though, WAY easier on the phone itself. Get a ram mount and just have it plugged in/held on the dash plugged in. It won't fall off under power and is actually somewhat convenient. Allows you to use the GPS if you are on big water too.
