I want local radio stations occasionally and Blue Tooth most of the time.

What round all in one is best and will pair up with a wet sounds 6? Or, open for suggestions.

Think about bypassing the stereo head unit. Get a bluetooth enabled amp, and stream music from your phone. You can probably find an app to stream your local radio stations.

Is he a vendor here?
He’s a vender if all things BS! Hahaha
No! He’s all you need to know about sound systems, he has one BA system! I heard the blasting of Van Halen as he got close to me this weekend over my HMF piped P1K5.

I edited this....wow! I need to proof read! Note to self...don’t trust Siri

You can find sound bars or overhead systems that have a radio, haven't heard of one yet that was really any good as far as reception though. Mine has an FM tuner but I never use it, sounds terrible. If you already have a Wet Sounds then like Neo said, streaming local radio is your best bet. The old way would be to just carry a transistor radio, a lot cheaper too! :D

I agree 100%. My sound bar has an FM tuner but it doesn't pull in much and with no display you never know what station you are tuned to unless the station announces it. For local radio I use NextRadio app. Down side is I can't blue tooth to the sound bar. If your cell phone has an fm chip it works, but the headphone output is the antennae. You'll have to run a cord from the headphone output to the soundbar for it to work. I have a 12 foot cord that goes from the dash, up along drivers side windshield, then follows the rops to the sound bar. Depending on where you are you can get quite a few stations.

Next radio is great ! On my s7. Kicker kmc2 works pretty good for tuning if my amp is off lots of interference with it in same box 9820072b56a76d35cdf709ddd3038a2eD57f4121d6b17b3daa5f730951a88196
