I know it's in good fun. No worries. I can take it, so it's all good. I will put it on a thumb drive, but if I pay for a cd, I want it to work. I'm kind of funny that way.

I don't expect a marine radio to hold up in a rain storm, but a few drops shouldn't kill it.

All this in 2 days of owning it. I am thinking of getting the Kenwood KDC-X998. My concern is that this is not a Marine unit. How will it hold up against any rain? How well does the CD work? I can't have it skip.

Also plan on getting the below: (I have a very loud exhaust and need a loud system)
Amp = Sound Stream PN4.1000D
Front Speakers = Polk MM1 6.5 round
Rear Lids = Polk MM1 6x9

I have or have had most of the components you mention. I run the Sony MEX and like it well enough. I’ve had it for several years without issue. I also run the SS PN4-1000D. Good bang for the buck, pretty big though. I’ve also had the Polk MM 6.5’s but popped one and moved to another brand. My 6x9’s are Pioneer TS series. Upper fairing currently using Biketronics 7.1’s, lowers are their 6.5 Titan II’s, and the aforementioned Pioneer 6x9’s in the lids.
