Audio for Roxor

[M4R1N3]

The sound bars are not that great and unbelievably expensive for what you get. So I took a different route. Installed a 350w 2ohm 2 channel amp under the dash (Precision Power PP i350.2). Then wired up a pair of Infinity marine grade 6.5 inch 75w rms 2 ohm 2 way speakers (left off grills so you could see). Mounted the speakers in ammo cans from Tractor Supply. Removed handles so they didn't vibrate and put some speaker baffling in the boxes and dang is it loud and clear. Bolted the ammo cans to the rear wheel wells. Bought a bluetooth receiver and hooked up to amp via RCA inputs. Voila! WAY BETTER SOUND THAN A SOUNDBAR!
P.S. all of the materials, speakers, ammo cans, amp, bluetooth reciever, wiring and loom and fuse all was around $250. Much less cost than a sound bar and many times louder. Bought amp and speakers from sonicelectronix.com.

Link for the bluetooth receiver. It's the only one that works reliably. Dont try the crap off Amazon or you will not be happy.

what is everyone doing for radio/ CD? My Roxy didn't come with the sound bar, which is OK. I really didn't like it that much anyway. Looking for ideas on mounting speakers and stereo. I may just go with XM radio and call it good.

I picked up the componets you recommended & did your install, the sound is fantastic, the only problem I have is the only volumn control I've found is on my phone that I use for the Bluetooth source, is there another way to get more volumn?

Any ideas on an AM radio that would work well in rural forested area?

There are some online rca volume control knobs on Amazon.

Nice job! They look great. Is that pillow stuffing you put inside the ammo cans?

Probably. Just what was lying around the shop.

This is an example of all we can do with a ROXOR. Nice!

Really, AM? I guess you're pretty far away from everything? That's where I want to be.

I just mounted a stereo receiver (no CD) and then hooked a satellite SiriusXM radio antenna so I can get satellite radio about anywhere.
