Started a project this summer of making a "radio ice chest" for tailgating. Bought a cheap JVC headunit w/ aux port for mp3 player, a pair of sony 6x9, a deep cycle battery. I turned my old ice chest to a boombox.
It's freaking loud. I finished the wiring today.
Next step is to paint a Tech logo.

Is there any way that some will be for sale, I would be interested. Was that at your tailgating spot last year? I remember seeing one. You did a great job.Quote:

I have a cousin who is working on a design for something similar that would also be water-proof and bouyant that could be used in the pool, tubing (i.e., floating down a river in a tube), etc. Not sure where he got with it. The biggest problem was coming up with a design that sounds good but could survive immersion (based on the assumption that many customers would be intoxicated and therefore bouyancy may not be sufficient).
lol Brian. Thanks for the detailed explanation on tubing.Quote:

Now, I have upped the ante, and explained my explanation. We'll call it "meta-explaining." :D
Awesome!
