I have been a stereo guy about 25 years longer than I have been a woodsbuggy guy. Pretty much since I was 4 and figured out how to turn up the volume on my parents' big Marantz house speakers. It has also led me to owning my own stereo business. That being said: I always keep an eye out for the most appropriate radio for any occasion. If your cramped on space (when aren't you in a buggy) check out the Clarion Marine CMS 1. It is a gps sized controller with a full function display that is fully marine (and magical Haspin Mud) rated and can be gimble mounted. It has a hideaway brain box that fits easily in an ammo box. It plays AM/FM/WB and has a usb for IPOD or Memory Stick (my personal choice for the trails). It has no CD unit but who cares when u can throw an 8GB stick at it and never hear the same song twice in a weekend. Also well into the third roll down your favorite hill you will still be hearing your favorite jams! Easily had on Ebay for about $200. Also,(if a GPS is too big) you can put that in the ammo box too and get a 2 1/16th gauge style controller that also plugs into it for about $100. If you have an unlimited budget that is the simplest one in the line up. They even have one that plays movies and is still 100% marine rated. Thanks to this site for the wealth of knowledge. Here is my contribution.
ive never had anything clarion (allways been more of a alpine or pioneer "old school brand stuff" guy myself as far as head units go) but this sounds like it worth looking into, you a link so we know we looking at the right one?
