Rockford Fosgate PMX-1 Marine Receiver | Bluetooth Boat Stereo with Built-In Amplifier

If you're looking for a compact marine radio that delivers both power and performance, the Rockford Fosgate PMX-1 is one of the best all-around options available.

PMX-0 vs PMX-1 vs PMX-3 (QUICK BREAKDOWN)

• PMX-0 → requires amplifier (no built-in power)
