Just ordered one of these for the buggy. Should work out pretty good. I can put the hole thing in an ammo box and mount the speakers on the sides of the box.

I know a guy with that set up in his RZR. He had the amp a foot under, in a mud hole and it still works great!

finally made a box for this thing. made it from a 7.62 ammo can my old man brought home from vietnam. turned out pretty good. i had to trim the face of the speakers a bit but they still seal. everything was a real tight fit but i like how small it is. the sound is ok. nithing to get excited about but ill be able to hear it over the motor. just need to wire it up properly so it goes off with the key. my key has an acc. position so i should be able to hook it to that.

Anyone using one of the Boss marine radios? it's like $130 which is more than I wanted to spend for one right now but looks like nice outfit.

Bought one of the Pyle 400w 2 channel setups local for $90. Looks good.

I like the high end aftermarket motorcycle systems....They come in a billet waterproof housing that clamps to a 1" bar **roof bracing** amps are built in to each speaker. +12v and ground, plug in your ipod and your gone.

Im using a 400w marine amp and I just plug my iphone into it for music. Only problem is once I start the buggy the music shuts off. Anyone know why this might be? The amp is wired rite to my fuse box and the remote wire to its own switch. It almost seems like its not getting enough power when the buggy is running. I checked my charging system its putting out 14.2v. Not sure what the hell is going on.

It works great as long as the buggy isnt running. Start her up and the music stops. Shut it off and the music plays again.
