Would having this amp on a boat be better than having a stereo? (Sound wise &amp; Loudness)

I Use this as a subwoofer on my boat in conjunction with a stereo. It's works great.

My honest opinion. I like mine ported so I'm more of a SPL guy who loves his music loud. But the details are still there even when you driving at almost distortion levels. You need a good box and amp to begin with.

I have a stock radio and with the 2 Ohm ( using JBL True 4 ohm technology) My system is louder and clearer. I had an amp in line next but saving my money, not needed

As far as I've experienced it was just sound. But a really good sound. If you want to add power you probably want to look into getting a tuner as well.

It has fine acoustics without plugging it in at all. If you really have your heart set on using it as an electric, one of the small Fender amps will work fine. You just don't need it

I did not need an amp for these units. I am using an pioneer avic navi unit. Any upgraded stereo unit has more than enough power to run these and still sound good

I would invest in an AMP for sure, short money but will get more out of the unit. I purchased the Polk 4 channel and it is worth the short money it cost

That amp should drive this sub better than most, both are great products so in theory yes it should give you some great sound

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

This is a small amp and it's not really designed for cars and trucks. It was designed to boost sound for your boat or Atv. If you looking for bass you better choose a different amp. If you looking to listen to music while you cruise on your boat or utv this will be well suited. I have it hooked up on my Polaris ranger with a set of pioneer surface mount speakers and it does great. Juliet remember to adjust your gain when you get it hooked up. It's set low.

I would get an amp designed for wet conditions. This one is not waterproof.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

With ease. It should sound pretty good too. It's a little powerhouse of an amp actually.

As long as u dont rasie the volume too much it should be fine but i would get a more powerful amp

I don't know. I have a Sony marine stereo with 4 25 watt outputs and I am running 4 JBL's with plenty of power and great sound. If you split 4 channels to 6 speakers, I think you will need and amp.

A normal deck should be OK, as long you use a separate head unit output line for each speaker: FL, FR, RL, RR. If you want to maximize the sound quality, you will need a 4 ch amp.

I think it would be ok for that. I think they over rate the amp to be honest. I returned mine because it didnt really fit my needs but, I ended up buying a all in one. For the money it will most likely do the job.
