is it alright to run a marine headunit in a car? I'm assuming it would be fine but since I have never tried I don't want to give out possibly faulty advice

yes... it is completely ok... biggest difference in marine and car audio equipment, is that marine equipment is better insulated from the elements... still all 12 volt

ya you should be fine its probably just waterproof or somthing, i personally dont like the look of any of the marine HU's ive seen

That's what I was thinking, mostly it would just be the front any way I'm assuming. He wants to run one because it's white....

yep only difference is the board and electronics are usually dipped to prevent water seapage. and there usually a different color

does he realize that he is paying for the extra protection, he doesnt need? that's my main thing.

yep, I showed him the exact same headunit, just the normal version but he'll "pay more for the white''

Sure it is!!! May not be pleasant to look at,or stick out/not appealing to the human eye..but will work just fine.Voltage out is going to be less, and less options ect,but will work:slap:
