A good option for marine sound
I have had no end of trouble with marine headunits and i have found that despite being marine grade they generally are still prone to water ingress or corrosion. Its important to check the ipx ratings as some may well be only ipx3 which is splash proof. So far the sonic hub has been good it can be tucked up away from damaging salt water spray (only ipx3). Its a hefty size so ensure that you have the room. Functionality wise its very basic only bass and treble adjustments so for the audiophile it isn't the best. It also has to be powered by an nmea2000 kit so you need to factor in another $80 to the initial price. Other downfalls are its limitation on usb size (16gb) and that you need separate power for the hub itself, bluetooth and nmea just to get everything working. Despite this if you find yourself braving the elements like myself its a great option to tuck up and away in the boat and let your sounder do the work. Im yet to see how long this lasts as opposed to the previous 4 headunits i have owned. At $229 its good value for money but the newer sonic hub 2 will be worth the purchase with bluetooth integrated into the unit and a larger usb capacity at 32gb.
