NVX VMPS35 & MVSP8 Marine Package

Incredible Amount of Expandability-Slightly Troubling Setup

The amount of outputs and inputs this thing has is insane, having RCA pre-outs is a welcome feature when compared to other marine radios. I put it in my 2014 Sportsman Masters 206 Bay Boat, and it looks very clean on the center console. Mounting was easy, provided you have the right tools (hole saw and the jigsaw is what we used). Wiring is going to be what takes you the longest, at least that's what happened in our case. Still a great head unit for the price!

Pros-
Very Loud For Stock Power
High Amount of Expandability
Bright Enough Screen

Cons-
Lack of software customization (Eq was lackluster, only providing presets)
Instructions for how to wire the 12v Constant, ACC, and Ground Should be included for novice installers

Yes, yes, yes! Perfect

I am so happy that I took a leap on this. While I took one for the team in that I am first to review, it was well worth the stress/risk.

I did a lot of research in terms of comparing features and benefits. The units that I stacked up against this at first were the Kicker KMP4, Rockford PMX3 and the Boss MGV550B.

Right out of the gates, the Fosgate and Kicker were more expensive so that went against them for me. The Fosgate has satellite radio so that was the one thing I wondered if I could be OK without and I am because I would have had to pay the monthly fees AND I do not use it that much. I figured I download my podcasts and stream mostly from saved Spotify music so I am fine without it. The Boss ended up being a nonstarter as it is Boss and had really bad reviews for durability longterm.

My Polaris RZR now thanks me every day. You will too. Buy it. HA!

Great value and features!

Volume knob is a must have on a marine radio. Plenty of outputs, installed unit with 4 ch amp and subwoofer. Never used the built in amp, so can comment on how it sounds. Easy to install and easy to use after a few times getting used to it. Bluetooth has good range all over the boat.

I put it on my Can Am Spyder. It's always.

Rocked the media with a 400amp&polk audio speakers sounds excellent

Lots of features and options, amp is not too powerful but I am using an external amp so that doesn't matter. Nice display easy to read in the sun

Nice radio!

The radio has a ton of options, the screen is crystal clear. And sounds really good. Only two things I found so far I don’t like. The screws they give you are poor to say the least when going into fiberglass on a boat. The radio did not come with a rear mounting bracket and studs to mount it even though the threaded holes are there on the rear of HU. Says in the manual to put the screws in and mount the bracket but it doesn’t come with. Kinda confused on that one. I had to make my own. Also how do you save the presets for the radio? There is nothing in the manual on how to do this. The instruction manual def needs to be upgraded for sure. It is def lacking a few important things about this HU. Over it’s pretty awesome I will say that except the couple of quirky things.
