About the Boss 660BRGB
Simple and versatile
Simple and versatile
Talk about a lot for a little. Boss's 660BRGB CD receiver includes an auxiliary input for your portable player, while the front-panel USB port let you play your MP3 and WMA music as well. Boss serves up Bluetooth® for hands-free calling and wireless music streaming. You can control it all from the large button array or use the included wireless remote control.
Bluetooth gets in the game
With the built-in Bluetooth technology, you can answer a phone call with the push of a button, and talk as if your caller is sitting next to you, freeing up your hands and letting you concentrate on the drive. The sensitive microphone's built into the faceplate, saving some installation time. You can stream music wirelessly from compatible devices to the receiver, with basic control functions like "play" or "pause."
Add more to the mix
Once you've got your music going, you can tweak the sound using the four EQ presets for just the right tone. The 660BRGB also includes three sets of preamp outputs to connect amplifiers to add more power to your speakers and subwoofers. Need a different color to match your dash lighting? The variable illumination lets you pick your favorite color for the look you want.
Auxiliary input note: While this receiver has front and rear auxiliary inputs, only one should be used at a time.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
