Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Ha.  Two is perfect.  My slip holds an up to 24' boat which means we can do watersports and create general havoc and the garage stall holds the fishing boat.  It takes longer to take a cover off a floating boat than it does for me to get to the launch and put it in.  Private city launch is a 500 yard drive away.  Saves me from having to take out the rods, graphs and cover it.  No brainer.  With a foot more on both sides and extra length I can leave the motor up and do it without stopping as I get home and no help.  That's all I care about for that.  I have a hard cover problem though otherwise it would have been bigger

And no, it can NEVER be big enough

Looking for a 3" gauge radio for my fishing boat.  Based on specs I somewhat assume that ALL of these are fundamentally the same thing and made by the same people.  What's all your guys' take?

My guess is Velex is the manufacturer.  $60 for that one.  $100 and $120 for the other two.  There is a Kicker as well that looks the same....

 

I assume the real brands probably have some slightly higher specifications ont he screen and such, but it will be used solely to stream music from my phone...no amplifier though so I am a bit wary.

Sony used to make one similar to that.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I think JBL/Parrot made one too.

Of course. 

Downstairs we only have the garage, kitchen and living room. The architect said he had to move the furnace room upstairs to avoid having huge bedrooms

The Infinity one

[Tirefryr 1,742]

A cheaper Infinity.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Shit, Crutchfield has several.

[///M5 2,833]

I know...but aren't they all "the same"?  ie, my gut tells me these are all the same exact board with a different screen/faceplate.  Makes me want to buy the $60 one.

 

[///M5 2,833]

There just can't be a big enough market to truly design that crap for that price, can there?

 

[///M5 2,833]

Amusingly the RMS watts vary, but the peak are one of two options.

Smart architect.  Is his name Adrian?

NO idea.  I'd try it at $60.

[///M5 2,833]

Chinese company, decides to go direct to market, tons of other stuff match.  Tells a story.  I had to ask though as I hate the fact that I want that, but I can't rationalize $120 for a Memphis when something darn near identical is $60

Obviously Android is trolling my posts. They added all the features I liked on iPhone to the Android app

[///M5 2,833]

What features?

 

[///M5 2,833]

Ordered some Infinity's for the boat.  Being there are no lights on the boat and I want to cut as few holes as possible I bought one with built in RGB LED's.  Found them on closeout on Ebay for cheap

This boat will be the first vehicle I have owned (that isn't my wives) that I haven't put an amp in.

Ability to set ratio, apply filters, color correct, etc.

[///M5 2,833]

Was that today's update?  I didn't check.  My wife needs a new phone....

[MKader17 332]

I started using again on Tuesday, so sometime before then?
