Cheap high powered head units?

[kcr357 10+ year member]

Just got a boat and it needs a new radio. Any suggestions? Don't care if it's Marine rated I'll most likely remove it after taking it out. Only requisite is that it has Bluetooth. Also need some recommendations on six and a half inch speakers preferably to preferrably 2 ohm.

I myself would pick a pair of these up for 6.5s..you can add a small amp of at lest 50x2 on them and will sound really good as long as you have a sealed space fore them on the boat/they will give a little bass response enclosed.

i know the sony mex-xb100bt doesnt do the 100x4 it claims, but its higher powered than any other deck i can think of

I'd get a regular deck and add an amp.....
