BOSS Audio Systems ASK902B.6 Marine Boat 6.5 inch Speakers and 4 Channel Amplifier Package - 500 High Output, Bluetooth Remote, Waterproof Pouch

When brainstorming to add a stereo to my Yamaha Waveventure PWC, I came across this system and it seemed to fit my needs and the size of where I intended to put it. I wanted a way to listen to some music when floating or beached and didn't want to permanently modify my ski. So I installed this complete system in a spare front storage compartment. I'm also adding 2 3.5" speakers into a set of spare mirror housings.The system itself is small, light, and came with everything and seems to be well made, I'll update after use for some time and see how it holds up. For the price, I don't expect it to last forever.I tested it hooked to a YB14 series battery which is smaller than the one in my ski. I didn't hook up an ammeter, but this seems to draw very little power. I ran it on the bench via Bluetooth from my phone for 3 hours. Battery still showed 12.7 volts and charger said battery was still 95% capacity after the test. Battery drain being a concern, I'm very happy with this.The included speakers sound good. Not great, but as expected or better. For my needs, quite acceptable. The controls are easy to use. Blue tooth range is great. I tried it at up to 40 ft away and it worked fine.I'm pleased so far and have no complaints.Update 7/18/2017:One year later, still going strong and works as well as the day it was installed!Update 5/10/2018Almost 2 years later and still works as well as it did when new. And it lives a rough wet life in the front of my Waverunner. It has been moved to my 98 XL1200 which uses the same front storage tub and gets a lot of looks, listens and thumbs up for having a stereo in my ski. I also put the small Polk audio 3.5” speakers I had in the mirrors of my wave venture in the mounting plate. Still love this setup!Update: 10/25/2018Still working like New after another season in the ski. And in the off season I use it in my shop for a stereo. Still very happy!Update: 4/12/2019Still going.............All winter in my shop. And now back in the ski for another season on the water. Still works perfectly!Update 7/29/2019You guessed it.........still working perfectly.

So I've installed this box and everything worked great. I put this on a 1929 roadster very loud car and still heard the music just fine; except that the lights in the remote weren't turning on. When I went to investigate why I found the illumination wire was pinched and grounded out. When I got it loose the lights came on on the remote...fixed right? No, now the volume won't go up...it beeps twice when you are at the maximum volume but it sounds very quiet like headphones quiet, turned up the volume on my iPhone all the way still nothing, tried the aux cord same thing. My only thought is that the "protection circuit" won't let the device do its thing....kinda frustrating, but its not the manufactures fault. Just tell whoever it installing to be very careful not to pinch any wires or you'll be hosed. Update: I simply unpaired my iPhone and then repaired, everything works again...wow. Would be nice if the connected controller was not rubbery and if the cable was 2 feet instead of 16.

This is an amazing product I purchased to replace the radio/tape deck combo on my 17' open bow boat. Since everyone practically streams music these days and doesn't use CDs any longer. This is the perfect item for you. Boat, car, motorcycle, golf cart, etc; this thing will do it.It was super easy to install. Just make sure you trace lines when connecting to previous audio cords to avoid frying anything. The speakers that come with this kit is top notch and packs a punch. I was so satisfied, I purchased another set of the same speakers to jam out even louder. BOSS is legit for your audio needs and highly recommend their products for the quality and price.

I like pretty much everything about the system except for the sound quality. I thought it was the speakers it came with that were weak, but after changing speakers, I realize it's just the way the system is. If I add an amp to the system can I get some bass tones into the music because right now there is none and I don't even want to play anything on it anymore. If an amp is the way to fix this, which Boss Amp is best for just two speakers? Thanks

Good basic unit. Not real loud but OK. Using it in a open bow boat and sounds nice ... with an added subwoofer. However, the entire unit is NOT waterproof!!! The small control unit is (or seems to be) waterproof. But the amp is absolutely NOT waterproof. I mounted the amp under my console not realizing that the screws penetrated the cavity above - which gets wet, The water traced down the screws and entered the amp. Unit would power up (lights on control unit) but I would get no sound. On the bright side, turning it on when it had some water in it did not blow the amp. Once it dried out, everything worked again. I'm taking steps to seal up the bottom of the amp (mine is mounted upside down) as well as seal the screws and penetrations into the upper cavity. BTW, I did take the ends off the amp to let it dry out and there is NO waterproofing whatsoever on any seams. Bluetooth works well but not a lot of range - but enough for a 22' boat. Had the unit about a year now and still working.

My second time ordering this system after it worked so well on my last boat. Definitely quality sound at an excellent budget. If your looking for good sounds that won’t blast over an entire boat dock or marina this is the perfect system. But get the 4 speaker package or add the 2 overhead speakers as I did. I’ve learned bass is based on location and material your boat is made up of. My last boat was wood and fiberglass, lots of bass.. this one is foam filled and all fiberglass no wood, bass not so much! But quality sound !!

good speakers . . . . bad everything else
