I love these types of videos. I would LOVE some kind of coaxial speaker for cars on a budget video! You sure are excellent at delivering these gems to our amazon shopping cart.

[@bruth6138]

Perfect for a side by side. What I have learned, riding side by sides, is what ever you put in it is going to get ruined so there is no point in spending a bunch of money. For 79 bucks you could replace this 10 times if needed for the price of top end models. Great review.

[@Crushonius]

kind of a missed opportunity to hook it up to speakers directly and to an amp to really test what it can do . especially rca sometimes the 1 volt can be horrible or it might actually be not so bad how would you know without testing it

[@southern_merican]

how dare u assume I have friends !, or a side-by-side😂

[@samwise4me903]

What an interesting product! Unlike some other minicamps, I can see where this could have a lot of applications. Big D, I like how you get through a lot of material quickly, with no 'verbiage'. I understood the many features after watching the video just once. Thanks!

[@juanroque4452]

Not bad for low power applications thanks Big D Williston appreciate your channel continued success always

[@volvo09]

Yeah, not bad at all for the price.

[@mrupholsteryman]

watching the video you were showing.... Woody Itson! Haha! I had some Itson bars on my bike! Saw him and Mike Dominguez when they rode for Hutch at Rockville BMX in Md.

[@nunyabizznizz7326]

great way to start a sunday morning 👍👍

[@robsolf]

This reminds me of some of those cheap DVD players that Circuit City used to stock, that used to play video and audio files from DVD-R's LONG before expensive name brand units did it. And for about half the price. Clunky, unpolished interface, and didn't always play the vids right. But they let you play gigs of MP3's via a digital connection from a 99 cent DVDR back when any other option(of which there were few) would cost hundreds more.

[@Jayhowell72]

I remember those. I bought an Apex just for that purpose back in the day.

[@AshyLarryTM]

Big D Wiz got the biggest VU’s in the biz 🤣

[@RJSDZNS]

I bought the RF PMX2 for a build I just did. It was like 450. Really nice unit, the customer thought it was amazing.

[@musclecity06]

from somewho sells fusion and the kicker kmc marines stuff they have alot of features the cheaper ones dont..like zone control, sat radio, the remote function so you can have volume controls and etc at the rear or front of the boat away from the radio, some even have wifi and apple airplay. dsps, and speed based volume

[@Episcleritis]

On the side of the box at 1:32, next to 14. it says "Four channels power output : 50W x 4"

[@Grommet2007]

This looks like it might be a nice HU for a DIY portable BT speaker. What is it's idle current when it's on?

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Nice video...and something different! 15-20 watts isn't gonna win a SPL contest tho. Decent power for background sound

[@fabelgamer7410]

If you're running coaxials , it will be more than adequate.

[@mullinperformanceaudio5902]

Would be cool too see a couple different versions of these tested. I was actually looking at the kicker unit for the dirt to demo build. Using it outside on a stand or mouted in the side door so I can give two person demos.

[@blakebrockhaus347]

Imo these types of units are def the best for extreme vehicles. I do wish I knew more abt them. Luckily you shouldn't need too much in the way of features. A touch screen and everything would be overkill

[@baethye-actual]

I have the NVX H/U you showed in the intro. My boat came factory with a Clarion GR10BT and I absolutely hated the push button volume. This is my second season with the NVX and it is still working just fine. I exclusively use it for BT and no complaints. The RCA’s are sufficient for my Taramps Smart3K and Wetsounds SDX2.

[@jimmyjam5588]

Pretty crazy. I like that you do alittle bit of this and a little bit of that 👍

[@jaywhy7556]

Thanks big D wiz for the great videos! I appreciate these videos of lower budget products for those of us whose ally it's up, and to audiozerone for the increasing quality and range of products thank you. The only topping I like on my audio is zerone, lol. Thanks again!

[@shawnsanderson3695]

Love How you're putting this video together. Sooo exciting.😊

[@NerdyMeathead]

For people with those issues you were saying in the beginning of the video. Just buy a RCA to Bluetooth Reciever. Plug the rcas into your amps, amps to your speakers and just use your phone in the front seat. Mount your phone or keep it in your pocket to enjoy music and nav.

[@fiddynutz68]

I bought a rockville that had the Bluetooth built into the amp pretty cool but after restart it goes to max volume, scares the shit out of people 😂, went with a cadence Bluetooth interface, their older model that has no amplification, idk how I like it tbh. Might switch it up.

[@bryanorosco6440]

I put one of these in my boat this year. So far so good. sound is decent and volume is plenty on the four speakers it is driving. also have taramps 4 ch amp 1 and 2 powering tower speakers and 3 and 4 bridged driving sub. stereo sounds good over all we will see how long it lasts

[@rrelectronics27]

Saw this on Amazon the other day and was curious about. Thanks for saving me the 79 bucks. The rca voltage is the let down for me. I've been installing professionally for almost 10 years and have started specializing in boats & side by sides since the lockdowns. Most of the brand name gauge style radios are overpriced for what you get. They have fewer features and generally cost way more than a single din.

[@michaelzernie7092]

Always grateful to you taking one for the team sir! Keep the awesome videos coming. Love em all!

[@paulgood2218]

How does the screen look in direct sunlight?

[@VWsEatRice]

Woody Itson!

[@johndilauro7253]

What is crazy is this tiny little Marine stereo .Puts out more power then a 250 watt Pyramid power booster equalizer

[@savage6394]

It looks A LOT like the Rockford Fosgate. I put a stereo in my enclosed trailer using the Rockford and It’s awesome. I paid way more than this one costs

[@sketchyssk8shop]

I'll be buying this for my boat today

[@danhorton6182]

It’s a shame the rca outs are only 1v. Would be cool to see what some of the “slightly” more expensive units would do. That Fusion at being the most expensive better be a miracle worker.

[@ancientalien815]

Wow, $79 sure gets you a lot nowadays!

[@johnofsometrades405]

Still like the Blaupunkt, but their prices went up. But they do have all types and price range

[@oldschool337]

Perfect for my toolbox radio

[@robsolf]

6:50 This is my favorite part.

[@PoXFreak]

Yup, it's a Power Acoustik pm43 stuffed into a gauge pod with a 4:3 screen.

[@Zwakkie05]

It would be interesting if you could test the Hertz Marine HMR10. Or several brands in a multitest 😊💪🏻

[@imawesomeyourenot]

Marine radios are INCREDIBLY over priced. Even the best features on most dont justify the prices. Im willing to bet the profit from these for the "big buys" are incredibly high vs. the cost.

[@jessebeatty9696]

Can you do more boat amps and speakers, and subs it's not a whole lot of videos break it down like this..

[@HillbillyRefrigeration]

Looking forward to a MINIMAXX dyno

[@fabriziobrutti1205]

Nice, but we also want the watt's insiiiide!

[@bigk3355]

I would love to see a test on audio control matrix boost up rca output

[@bayramoglumurathan925]

Thanks.

[@RealPivotTV]

another great one!

[@AdamWaffen]

Pros: it’s 11 dollars Cons: for 11 dollars, there aren’t any.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

I'm not a fan of the power symbol/sel not staying level on that knob.

[@GAMINGOBRIEN69]

For april fools you should make him say "this IS a mickey mouse program" and edit it in a way it looks like one

[@johnofsometrades405]

Have you tested the double din Blaupunkt? What would be the best, cheapest double din with Android screen share, and or navigation?

[@cvcook]

Sorry if I missed it, but does it have an EQ?

[@jonanderson4474]

Think the box said presets.

[@LaJuanHughes]

Got those big numbers.

[@EcSsAwS]

Not bad. I’d buy it!

[@213gixxer]

Damm do something for a softail with no bags

[@DwightStebner]

i would preffer the VNX Brand

[@z1berzerker]

Decent for the money 💰... good for Ammo Box Bluetooth... take the top off 😉 heat rises 🤷 its all I got Bro

[@noelsantiago8613]

Love it

[@trendkilla254]

will it output Bluetooth? We have a bluetooth soundbar already installed on our golf cart. I would love to not have to run extra wires.

[@wal]

No

[@jessebeatty9696]

Just wondering, is there a way to make a car amplifier water resistant a lot of boat amps aren't powerful and they cost a lot

[@DJTJ13]

Yes you can basically spray it with spray can clear coat. The problem is if you ever have to repair its really hard.

[@jasonhuckabee5698]

Great radio bought it for my rzr, just can’t get it off factory default so it loses its memory everytime key is cut off

[@wal]

Make sure you have the +12V connected to constant +12V and only the turn on wire to switched 12V (ignition)

[@JoshHefnerX]

No hose test?

[@joejane9977]

whats teh current clamp look like lol

[@robertdenaro3514]

Looks like a good deal

[@krampp24]

Should get an amp off of temu and dyno it lol

[@brianschreiber9401]

Anyone try XM Radio through this?

[@markmellman5960]

I know there's beef with Robot Underground and you don't wanna review Recoil but AUTOZEROONE your fans wanna see this?

[@markhatcher4325]

I like it

[@danrimjob5546]

Big D, what’s the eta on dyno jp mini maxxx line ???

[@408SPLKINGS]

My sources say less than 3 months...right around black Friday...or earlier

[@dtwistrewind7361]

50w X 4 on the box lol😂

[@guestguest]

I know this is unrelated but why no amp dyno tests at 12.6volts? All these amp dyno tests are for a selective audience. I bet there’s more ppl running 12.6 than 14.6. But the 12.6ers takes this info in as if they’re running 14.6+ volts.

[@CotyRiddle]

because 14.4 is the nominal charge voltage for a running vehicle. (modern cars will vary depending on load and temperature but will keep it generally around 13.8. 12.6 volts is what a fully charged 12 volt battery should read after sitting for several hours.

[@408SPLKINGS]

​@@CotyRiddlenot arguing with you, your comment is a good one but as a mechanic for decades servicing all makes & models & generations have never seen or metered 14.4 volts...gas, diesel, hybrid, EV, marine, military 12v, 24v on stock alternator/s

[@CotyRiddle]

interesting. I have seen it several times. usually though its right after a cold start and for a very short time. with all the confusers now days and alternators being computer controlled and with clutches o.0 i have no clue. on my 2000 civic i see 14.4 after start up but it will quickly drop to 13.8 and once warmed up around 13.6 and will increase back to around 14 volts when the ac or headlights are on. my 06 dodge is pretty much the same although likes to hover right at 13.7 volts most of the time.@@408SPLKINGS

[@jeffneedstogivejakeaturnon1083]

Those probably are t going to stay at 79USD for very long.

[@future62]

Disappointed you didn't say "time to measure some T-H-Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...."

[@JessicaFEREM]

it's one of those china MP3 players glued to a mediocre amp.

[@straightlinestraightline1710]

❤

[@pob000]

That's cheap

[@yourlocalplumbingcompany4984]

First

[@nicks4597]

movie shorts make videos childish

[@donjaun540]

2 ohms. 😮 I'm running the back two channels to a 3" woofer dog. 😮🤪

[@nathanfindley399]

I'd like to see your thoughts and opinions on that new taramps head unit it's supposed to be 100 watts X 4

[@glennonheinrich8185]

I've seen a few people that have gotten them in the base head groups and said they were junk. It's a 400.4 inside basically I believe. Which isn't a great amp to begin with.

[@dumpsterfire6351]

Big D …Im outta heeeere
