I bought this to replace a radio on one of our rental pontoons. Easy to install. Simple design that is easy for guest of all ages to operate while they are on the water. Have already purchased another, to keep on hand as a backup for our other rentals.

Nice Marine Radio Upgrade

Mark from THOMASVILLE, GA on 9/18/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Easy install in my boat. Looks good, sounds good. Only thing I don't like is that the BT source sounds much lower than the FM source, even with the volume of my phone turned to full volume. So when you switch sources there is a big difference in sound level.

Pros: Looks good, sounds good, easy install.

Cons: BT source is lower volume than FM.

Cheap standard basic unit

Poor volume and sound quality. Came standard on my Fourwinns. Broke in two years due to water intrusion. The Bluetooth feature loses even more volume and sound quality. Hard to read dial.

Good purchase but a few issues. Threads for mounting studs had burrs and threads had to be chased. Pigtail all of 6 inches long, way too short. Wiring instructions were great, operational instructions not. Works fine so far.

Not bad

Bryant from Columbia, SC on 2/6/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Works fine with some cons. If you plan on using more than 1 device to connect to Bluetooth i.e. 2 different phones at different times, you will have to forget the device on your phone to reconnect after the second phone has been introduced to the system. The power on button is weird, sometimes 1 click turns it on, sometimes you have to hold it down for a few seconds, sometimes you have to press and hold it twice. Other than that it looks and sounds great when paired with two JL Audio m3s.

So far so good after a couple of uses this Kicker is performing well. I installed on the outside wall of our boathouse and connected to 12V transformer and a pair of 75W speakers. Sound quality is pretty good and the Bluetooth range is 50+ ft and pretty reliable. Pairing was instantaneous. Easy to install and looks good. And Crutchfield customer service is pretty responsive.
