Description

I named this one “Coolbox”.

My preference is that a cooler stereo should be a stereo but, almost more importantly, be able to hold some beers! Maybe 1 in 20 cooler stereos in this forum double as a cooler, which makes me sad; also not drunk when floating down a river, playing an ultimate frisbee game, or chillin’ on the pontoon boat.

The Coolbox has the amplifier mounted on the outside but I still took it on 2 river trips before a class 3 rapids trip did the amplifier in. I attempted to “waterproof” it by using masking tape around the body of the amplifier ;D. The battery and wiring is mounted on the inside. Speakers are front facing.

There is a simple red LED switch to turn the amplifier on and a single 12V port for input (charging) and output (air pumps, cell phone chargers, etc). Amplifier input is the standard RCA left/right inputs.

Battery lasts DAYS. I mean DAYS. At full volume. It is standard lead acid battery from a lawn mower. I picked it up from Lawrence Battery in Kansas for $25 before I moved to Oregon.

Come on guys, I really don’t think a subwoofer is worth it. Maybe I will have to listen to one before I get shunned on the forum.
