Pyle Durable Universal Marine Stereo Cover - Water Resistant Boat Radio Protector Shield with Flip-up Door & Neoprene Gasket - Compatible with Dual Shaft & DIN Style Stereos - Pyle PLMRCW3

I read many of the positive and negatice views, and really can't understand why it received so many negative views, if the installer has some basic knowlege how to take an item apart and put back together they should not have any issues. The manufacture supplied everything necessary to install this enclosure. Once you take it all apart, including the small plate on the rear of the unit held together with six small screws, it is easy to add, and or use existing wires for their components. I didn't use the provided installation bracket, yet is was sufficent to hold component and enclosure in place, I used a direct method supporting the enclosure with 1/4-20 bolts with pvc spacers to mount on a bracket I made years ago to support an underdash CD player. Many said they were not able to mount a back brace to suppport the back of the radio, I find that laughable, with a few measurements and a tinnerman nut it was eash to mount the back of the unit using the supplied bracket from the stereo manufacture, and and a pan head screw, washer and rubber gasket. I was also impressed I could easily see the stereo display through the blue tinted cover. Nothing negative about this unit..... you can install the unit either with the door up or door down... I tugged on the door didn't break, I am sure this will work fine hitting waves with the door closed. I mounted my door with the hinges on the bottom since I couldn't see the unit with the door open with the hinges on top. This enclosure is well made and will support being supported directly by attaching through the enclosure. All in all I am very happy I chose this particular enclosure, and the price from Amazon made it an easy choice, I would have paid fifty dollars for this enclosure. I ordered and received within three days.

¿Cansado de preocuparte por el agua y el sol? Esta cubierta es una buena solución para proteger el estéreo de mi bote. Se ajusta bien, es fácil de poner y ayuda a mantener el equipo limpio y protegido cuando no está en uso.

Purchased this cover to house my head unit. It was very easy to wire and to mount, but as other as stated the door will eventually break, that I have no doubt. After only using it for a few weeks the door is already getting loose enough where it will not stay up on its own and I can see the plastic parts (hinges) wearing down. Maybe I'll be wrong and the door will be just fine, but time will tell.

Very durable water prove singe DIN stereo deck case with wire set for antenna, 12vdc power, spk signal wires, and 1 set RCA cables. Beautiful front hinged cover along with solid bracket. This is design for marine use purpose, so there is no holes or slots being cut for heat to escape that generated from radio. I had the radio unit run in my garage like 8 hours non-stop over weekend while I was working on other project. It got a little warm, but withstand fine. I use this case to hold DVD audio deck with quick disconnect as secondary stereo of my old Dodge van conversion. And, garage stereo deck when not using the vehicle. Love it. btw, I had to cut another V-groove in the back panel to run more wires from radio, then sealed it with RV glue.

Price is about the strongest selling point for this item. It has about zero instructions, funny color codes, and not all the mounting hardware. The little "instruction" sheet that comes with this is just that, little. There's three tiny images on it and not much else. There's no mention of where the gasket goes, no mention of where the little white pads go, and no mention of how to connect all the wires to the radio. And I never did find the "Support Shelf for Radio in Rear of Housing." There's also some kind of black plastic plate that looks like a place to mount a radio but, of course, there was nothing on the instructions about it. Most everywhere, including the radio that you'll stuff into this, probably has a black wire as ground. Not this unit. Mine came with a light blue wire marked as ground and the black wire marked for the speakers. The only mounting hardware included is the knobs that hold the housing into the bracket, screws for the faceplate onto the housing, and some little screws for mounting brackets that don't come with the unit. Yes, it's pretty standard not to include mounting hardware, the stuff that actually holds it to the boat, but ads usually say "mounting hardware sold separately." Not "stainless steel mounting hardware." Just an oh-by-the-way, the built in nuts that hold the enclosure to the bracket are actually brass, with what appears to be stainless steal screws in the knurled knobs. Can you say, "dissimilar metal corrosion?" Granted, it won't be much but it will be there. After all that, this is what I did: I mounted a Kenwood KMR330, with only the front speakers planned for hook up at this time, into this unit. The Kenwood uses a wiring harness with plug that makes it fairly easy to connect all the wires. I soldered all connections and used liquid tape over all connections and on the bare wires ends left exposed on the wires I'm not using at this time. That includes the built in wires on this enclosure. They're stripped back about a quarter inch and the wires are left exposed. I didn't want a bare wire connection, that runs inside and out, left floating around my radio. Then I used several zip-ties (not included) to bundle the wires together and just neaten things up a bit, and also to hold the unused wires together so I could store them in the very back of the enclosure. There's plenty of room for the extra wires though the antenna wire is a bit stiff and didn't want to cooperate when I slid the radio in. The pre-amp out RCA plugs do not have any kind of covers or storage places so plan on doing something with them if you don't use them right away. I then took all the extra wires on the back of the enclosure, cut off the bare wires, insulated and waterproofed them, and bundled them together with another zip tie and was able to get them to curl together enough that they'll hide in the little cutout area on the back of the enclosure. I didn't want to cut them off because I might end up using them after all. And, there's no way to temporarily remove the wires you're not using right away. Yes, I'd buy this unit again, just on the price point and it looks pretty cool, but I was really disappointed in the door and gasket seal. Once the stick-on gasket is stuck on the inside of the door, I guess that's where it goes- no instructions, the door wouldn't close and latch without using a bit of force, or striking it with the heal of my hand. Now, I understand that the seal is new and it might take a bit to "settle" in but I'd think just a bit more lip on the latch would make a huge difference. And, two of the faceplate mounting screws had a very hard time going back in. And yes, I know how to replace screws in plastic without stripping them out, been working electronics over 30 years. Overall, for the price, this in not a bad unit but three things would make this a huge winner: Actual instructions, a door that closes and latches easily with the gasket in place, and let's make the ground wire black like the rest of the world.

Mounted in ATV fine. Keeps the dirt mud and water out.

This was a nice gift I got my father for fathers day to house a stereo he was putting in his boat. He loves it. It looks great and will protect his radio well.

The housing is sturdy, but the Blue cover that covers your stereo from water WILL break at the plastic hinge. It is not durable. I was hoping I could buy just the Blue Cover housing (that screws in) and tried reaching out to customer service, but they said there's no parts available and can't help at all since it was a couple months out of warranty. Pretty disappointed and I'm going to have to jerry rig something with a stainless hinge, or just buy one from another brand.

Un peu encombrant mais quand il y a de la place...

Not bad but a bit harder to put together and very $$$
