short life by Star on amazon.com Jul 31, 2011

It broke after one year on the boat. by andthereyouare on amazon.com Jun 22, 2010
I bought this radio for a friend's boat. Used the RCA connections for 2 amps. The radio stopped working in one year and this was in a house boat. The Radio will not put out any sort of sound, even bypassing the amps and connected directly to the radio ...
