Bought this for my side by side. First one was junk upon arrival, Had a bad RCA output on front channel. Hey, it happens it's not a perfect world. Called Crutchfield on a Sunday afternoon and had the replacement in hand before even I had a chance to take the defective one out. Fantastic customer service! New one sounds great and has nice adjustability and features. Running it thru a JL Audio MX280 with 4 Kickers.

Works flawlessly

I installed this in my 2024 Canam Defender limited. I love how fast it connects to my phone and instantly starts playing music. I don't have to connect it to blue tooth every time. It has a memory built into it. I didn't have to wire in an individual hot wire to keep its memory. Very simple stereo to install and use. I paired it to four 6inch kicker speakers. Very load. Next step is a sub.
