We enjoyed that MEX-M100BT head unit after upgrading from an earlier Sony Xplod head unit. Worked well with the sony system DR.
...we have since replaced that M100 with a RF unit using transom and helm remotes to boot. I like your thinking on the JL speaker and amp upgrade.![]()
Enjoy the music my friend.

Not sure. Never had a Fusion.

No difference in sound detected between Sony and RF. Just functionality.

Ok thanks. Then I won't be in to big of a hurry to change it. Maybe next year I'll do the wet sounds head unit.AsLan7 wrote: Tue Apr 28, 2020 9:56 pm.

Re: Stereo head replacement 08 242
I replaced mine with the Fusion RA70N and ARXw/b remotes. I used Wetsounds 6.5 also. Love the upgrade. Huge difference. Not gonna blow anyone out of the water but I don't have a tower with speakers either. I put old and new pics in here. Biggest reason for upgrade was Bluetooth. No pics of wetsounds sorry.

Since I asked the original question - just circling back with what I replaced with - ended up going kenwood marine unit and dash remote. Just wanted to go simple and plug into original hole. Nothing fancy but serves what I need (and maybe more). Thanks for all the replies.
