Most Liked Positive Review

Boss receiver mr650 6.5 2 way speakers

I really like the radio being compact and easy to install in a small area. Great sound and easy to install speakers. I really don't have any complaints about the product and the price would be very hard to beat anywhere else! The thumb drive is really handy for ipod. The mp3 and satelite jack is real handy.

Most Liked Negative Review

Good Product for the Price

For the price and relatively good sound quality, it is hard to beat. Unit acted flakey in heavy rain, leading me to believe it is not completely weatherproof, however once it dried out, it returned to normal function. Would have appreciated a better mounting bracket/solution (mounted to a 3/4" sheet of marine plywood), however this isn't a deal breaker. iPods are ONLY supported over the AUX input, not over USB!

Comments about Boss Audio Boss Mechless AM/FM/MP3/iPod Receiver Package With Two 6-1/2" Dual Cone Speakers:

I was looking for a unit for my boat , but did not want to spend a lot. My expectations were not high due to the price of this unit, however after receiving it and installing it I was surprised. Very compact, which is nice for marine applications, yet big sound. I used a different antenna so I can't say if the supplied antenna is sufficient. I am certain there are better units on the market, but for the money I would put this up against any and all. Comes with a case for the face plate and a remote control with battery. Speaker wires are not extremely long if you plan on placing your speakers very far from the unit you will need additional wire.

Comments about Boss Audio Boss Mechless AM/FM/MP3/iPod Receiver Package With Two 6-1/2" Dual Cone Speakers:

Unit came as package though mine did not have speaker wires included (packing oversight?). It does come with the dual pigtail plug to connect MP3 devices with the unit. It was very easy to install and worked great-- once I realized that the POWER button is on the far right of the control panel face, and NOT INTEGRATED with the rotary/dial volume knob (typical of most other dash-mounted stereo units). The separate power button works fine, but I'm still not used to powering up a dash-mount unit without the dial knob. The 5 watt fuse indicates that this is not a high quality amp and so it will deliver more THD at higher volumes. I found the volume was sufficiently loud to enjoy and I did not discern any meaningful distortion. It is, after all, a boat stereo. I am very happy with the performance level at this price
