An extremely water resistant wired remote control (IPX5 rated – able to resist jet streams of water) with it’s 10 foot of cable enables control of the amplifier with or without a car or marine radio. The wired remote can select the source (either Bluetooth input from any Bluetooth source like your phone or a hard wired signal level/speaker level input from a car or marine receiver), control volume up and down, and play, pause, fast forward or fast reverse a Bluetooth music source.
The amplifier can be configured in either two channel or four channel mode. Great for marine, ATV, motorcycle or car installations.
