The past 9 new boats I've had never had any sound system problems,, none.
I have a 2000 watt Sony thats been nothing but trouble.
You've all heard it if you've been to any of the Parker Sand Bars.I have to have the 2 month old system fixed,, and it's been a bitch. A real bitch.
Sony dealers absolutely won't honor the parts and labor warranty.
In a strong Middle Eastern accent they all (Akbar's) tell me they want to be paid in addition to the warranty.
To be looked in the eyes and attempted to be ripped off by these clowns is unnerving.
Well, the Sony rep was interested in all this,, and the dealers that refused to fix our unit have been dropped by Sony,, so good on them.
The point of this post is that ya pretty much have to rely on who installs the unit to be the one who'll fix it under warranty.
So instead of a local shop doing the work, I have to drive half way to Jerusalem, to the installing dealer, my boat dealer that is,, to get the thing fixed.
A day off from work,, a hundred bucks in gas,,, ect., because the local Sony Authorized shops won't touch it honestly unless they get some Mordida (bribe).
The moral: Perhaps remember this when you're having your sound system installed. You'll have to return to the installer to have warranty work done. So Geography comes into the equasion too.
