Clarion CMSW10.1 10-Inch Single 4 Ohm Voice Coil Subwoofer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a more then adequate MARINE grade subwoofer for under $150. The subwoofer has max power handling of 350 Watts which translates into 175W RMS. I am running this with a 200W RMS amplifier and it provides a adequate all around bass sounds at reasonable listening levels. If I push the volume up to the highest settings, the amplifier handles the increase fine, but overdrives the subwoofer causing some distortion. For everyday use this is a great product for the price. I have this subwoofer installed in a custom box (Epoxied MDF closure) installed under the driver seat of my 25 foot express cruiser. I haven't heard the subwoofer in an open air enclosure, but I think it would be more then adequate in this type of setup, and actually may do a little better because the distortion wouldn't be as noticeable in the open air environment.
The only reason for 4 stars is that there are several products which out perform this subwoofer, but they cost more then twice as much. So great bang for your buck.

Fusion MS-IP600G iPod/AM/FM/ Sirrus Ready IP65 Rated 3 Zones Stereo Receiver (Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing ROCKS. It is so well thought out. It has everything I want in a marine stereo.
I installed it a month ago and I am really hoping it holds up. I've gone through lots of boat stereos over the years but this looks like the last one I will ever buy.
This unit does not have CD player in it which is a HUGE plus as far as I am concerned. CD players only last a season or two down here on the Texas Gulf coast. I wanted a stereo that had simple way to connect my iTouch/iPhone to the stereo. The Fusion IP600G makes it so easy. Flip down the gasketed face plate, push in the pod, flip up face plate and crank it. The pod is sealed in tight. No cables, no adaptors and no iPod sliding around on the deck.
I also ordered the IP56 Remote Control. Even though the stereo is supposed to be very weather resistant, I mounted it in the console to keep it out of the weather. I mounted the remote control on the dash. Mounting the remote requires drilling a big 3" hole in the dash but there was room. I drilled out a smaller 1 1/4" hole where an old remote use to be. Turned out to be a very neat installation.
The controls are big, easy to see, easy to use and very intuitive on both pieces. I really like the volumne knobs. You don't have to look at it to do someting as simple as changing the volume. Both units have a mute button which has always been one of my requirements. Being able to kill the stereo quickly is very useful when things go ballistic on board. The remote has a screen and shows song names and other important info as does the stereo unit.
It has a ton more capabilities than I will ever use. Got them both at a great price on Amazon I highly recommend it!
