Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

So my head unit got wet (from rain) and I was surprised that some of my buttons aren't working so I did the usuall trick, hair drier, rice, constant air, and so on,but still same results. I skipped out on audio at purchase so if I need to replace it I want super nice. I feel like out of the three components ( tower speakers, amp, head unit) the head unit was cheapest item Sony explode CDX- M60UI, with kicker amp 300x2 with wet sound rev8s. What do you guys feel is the best head unit?

I put a Clarion CMD7 in my first Axis and really liked it. I got Pak 2 on my 14' I ordered so not sure what it has?

I'd take a look at the Clarion or Alpine HU options.

so im assuming CMD8 replaced the CDM7 and does alpine offer a marine application? I didn't see a marine specific head unit. I want something water tight so I don't have the same thing happen again

This model Alpine CDA-118M but it looks like it's been discontinued...

Got all but a few buttons back until this Saturdays rain that finished it off .... So after some research I'm going with the clarion CDM8 let you know how it goes

Have you seen these: http://www.fusionelectronics.co.nz/mari ... ereo-units
I had one in my last boat and thought it was the best built marine stereo around. Mine had multi-zones, class-d amp, ipx5 waterproof spec, very flexible crossovers, iphone/ipod integration....

Good catch morrisdl,

I have seen these head units before and they look very good. Might be worth a try.

The wired remotes were really nice too! Now I see they also have bluettooth and builtin wifi/phone app - pretty sweet!

yeah they look nice but I already pulled the trigger so no going back now
