I bolted one on and just as I got it don't I seen it wobble. So I thought that was strange, so I taped on it and it shook. Not much, but more then I liked so I taped on it again and it broke off. Got looking on Amazon at other comments. There was only two. Both was about braking off.
Crap... sorry bout the bad luck. I think I had those in my save for later cart. Deleting now

Most of the audio stuff we're putting in these sxs's are crap really. Boss, Pyle, Noam, even MTX back in the day was considered cheap crap. Kinda' like Kraco, Sparkomatic or Pyramid. They're not high grade but the price point is the lure. If it gets trashed, no big loss. Wouldn't consider putting any of these brands in my truck though.

I agree, but can't see putting wet sounds throughout like I have my boat. My boat I want to hear when on the tube or skiing or beached and having a few beverages. My pioneer I just need me to hear not everyone. Just couldn't see spending 1500 on my Pioneers radio is all.

you can, but the radio will not have near enough power to power those speakers. Bridging it just means you would be using the max power from the radio probably throwing about 35 watts per speaker is all. You will not hurt the speakers, but the radio you could. I would not bridge them and run them to each speaker output and wait on the amp.

You can run the speakers off the radio I just wouldn't bridge it is all. Wait until you can give them clean sufficient power and you will see the difference

I think you're going to like that deck it looks to have the right controls at your fingers. Looks like bass might have to be added to make use of some buttons?

I assume the deck power is pretty good on that one isn't it?

Noticed pandora or fm one or the other putting out better, I haven't played with it much but without an amp it has an internal amp to apply. I do like the radio it has many unused parts maybe I get into later...

Looking good!
