Has anyone else done this, and if so, do you have any recommendations for a unit that's loud enough to hear over the engine, can handle vibrations when playing a CD, and can receive radio signals while inside the vehicle?

I mounted it to the roll cage with some conduit straps. All my music is on my phone so no need for CD capabilities, but pretty loud, it’s waterproof and shock proof. No problems so far.

I only use my cell for emergencies (yes, I'm a dinosaur who still loves my landline), and I don't have an ipod, so CDs are my method of amusement, but I do like that Milwaukee unit (and their tools), so if I can't find a rugged CD player, maybe I'll just go with a radio. That's a pretty cool setup with the JBL player. Wouldn't work for me, but I like the creative installation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
