These are the key features of the car stereo. If you select more than one feature, then you will view stereos that have ALL features selected. For example, selecting Apple CarPlay AND USB input will result in stereos that have both features. The Floating Touchscreen feature is the "Tesla" style large screen that so many vehicles are including now. We have aftermarket "floating" large "Tesla-esque" screens for your vehicle and they're only a click away.

Single DIN: 1 DIN dimensions will work with all single DIN installation kits we have to offer. Single DIN radios are the most common size for after-market stereos.

Single DIN slot with flip-out screen: The DIN stereo includes a retractable, flip-out screen. Before purchasing, make measurements to be sure there is no interference with dash accessories such as A/C vents or shift levers.

Single DIN slot with a larger face: Standard single DIN size, but the display is larger then the standard single DIN size. Due to the nature of the larger face, problems may arise when installing in particular vehicles. These stereos are great for single DIN slots where you want a larger screen.

1.5 DIN: This size is very uncommon in vehicles, however this size opening is most commonly found in Chrysler and Chevrolet vehicles.

Double DIN: Approximately 4-inches in height, this size is becoming more common every year. Prior to 2000, this size was typically only found in Japanese vehicles such as those made by Honda or Toyota. Now, it is becoming more popular for many vehicles to be fit with a Double DIN opening.

This is the size of the monitor on the unit. It is measured diagonally and in inches. The bigger the number the larger the screen.
RCA outputs, commonly known as preamp outputs, allow you to connect one or sometimes multiple external amplifiers. An in-dash receiver will commonly have one, two or three sets of RCA outputs that can be used to connect external amplifiers and other components. One pair of RCA outputs will typically provide a full range signal that can be used for most subwoofer or speaker amplifiers. Two pairs of RCA outputs can typically be configured as four full range signals, or also as two full range and two subwoofer signals. Three sets of RCA outputs will almost always produce four speaker signals and two subwoofer signals for use with multiple amplifiers.
The preamp output rating is measured in volts (V). The higher the rating, the stronger the signal. This results in less unwanted noise being picked up.

    FAQ Frequently asked questions in DS18 Marine Radio & Boat Stereo Receivers


    Marine Stereo or Boat Radio Receivers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    No, regular car stereos are not suitable for marine use due to the harsh and corrosive marine environment. Marine Stereo or Boat Radio Receivers are specifically designed to withstand exposure to water, salt, and other elements commonly found on boats. They are built with sealed and weather-resistant components to prevent damage from moisture and saltwater. Additionally, marine stereos often feature UV-resistant faceplates and coatings to protect against sun exposure. Using a regular car stereo on a boat can lead to premature failure and damage, whereas a marine-specific stereo ensures reliable performance and longevity, making it the safer and more practical choice for boat owners.
    Yes, many modern Marine Stereos come equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to wirelessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. With Bluetooth, you can enjoy your favorite tunes without the hassle of cables, making it a convenient and clutter-free audio solution for your boat. Simply pair your smartphone to the marine stereo, and you can control music playback, skip tracks, and adjust volume directly from your device. Bluetooth also enables hands-free calling, allowing you to make and receive calls safely while on the water. However, it is essential to keep in mind that the Bluetooth range is typically limited, so your device should remain within a reasonable distance from the stereo for seamless connectivity.
    Yes, you can use a Marine Stereo in a freshwater environment just as effectively as in saltwater conditions. Marine Stereos are designed to withstand exposure to various elements, including freshwater, rain, and UV rays. Whether you're boating on a lake, river, or any other freshwater body, a Marine Stereo will provide excellent audio performance and durability. In fact, the water-resistant and corrosion-resistant features of marine stereos are beneficial in any environment where there's a possibility of exposure to moisture or rain. The rugged construction and protective coatings ensure the stereo remains reliable and functional, making it a versatile audio solution for all types of boating activities.
    Yes, most Marine Stereos are designed to handle the power demands of multiple speakers commonly found on boats. These stereos often come with multiple preamp outputs, allowing you to connect amplifiers to boost the audio signal and drive additional speakers or subwoofers. This feature is especially useful for larger boats or vessels with multiple audio zones, as it allows you to create a customized audio system with powerful and balanced sound throughout the boat. When selecting a Marine Stereo, it's essential to consider the RMS power output and the number of preamp outputs to ensure it matches the requirements of your speaker setup.
    Yes, Marine Stereos are specifically engineered to withstand exposure to saltwater and rain, making them ideal for use in marine environments. These stereos are built with marine-grade materials and have durable, water-resistant, and corrosion-resistant components to protect against the harsh conditions encountered on boats. Many marine stereos also undergo rigorous testing and are rated with IPX waterproofing certifications, indicating their resistance to water ingress. Additionally, marine stereos come with protective covers for their faceplates and connectors, further safeguarding them from moisture and UV rays. Whether you're sailing, fishing, or simply enjoying a day on the water, a Marine Stereo will reliably provide you with great audio entertainment without compromising on performance or longevity.
