I made mine out of ammo cans. The speaker boxes are the tall 50 cal. cans. The radio is to small 30 cal. cans with the bottoms cut off and welded together.

[cra5h]

i still have to attach the antenna and run the power wire...but this is what it looks like all closed up

 

[sublime68charger]

here is the set up I have, Just a Chip board box that I have 2 6x9 Speakers in that point back towards me, Radio Deck/cassette player mounted Vertical out the top was able to fit it in the box behind the speakers Radio Ant on 1 side of Box and Power Cord on other and then bunge cord tied down the the front rack.

cuts off about 1/2 the Pod light but not 2 bad.

any way enjoy.

I had made the speaker box back when I was in HS, circa 1992 and put this together this last winter so I had something to listen to while plowing Snow.

Sublime out.

I just made one out of pvc and it works great minus the cd part,i've tried every kind of padding to keep it from skipping,but the cd's won't play if the gators are turning,gonna get a mp3 player to keep the tunes going.

 

[JWJR]

can cd players be used while riding or is atvs to rough for them

 

[TATORNUTZ]

cd's might play on smooth ground on stock tires.Mine won't play if i'm rolling on anything.

Where did you get the bracket that holds the radio?

I actually went to East Tex ATV in Crosby and found the bracket for my bike. It was only $35.

Thanks reddog

That would not do well in mud and water. My system is mud and water proof. The speakers where under water many times last weekend.

Well mud and water is all I ride in down here in Florida. I used silicone on the radio. The speakers are the only thing that gets wet. I sprayed the speakers with a silicone spray and the internals stay dry and I have sunk it a few times. I just like that if I need the rack for any other reason all I need to do is remove the four bungee straps. Don’t get me wrong I like the other set ups. I was going to do one like that but after the coast of the marine radio and marine speakers and material for the boxes. I thought that the dewalt was the bets choice for me.

 

[chuck]

hey Fl Guy, is that Dewalt radio loud enough to be heard over the engine and wind noise? I sort of like your idea for being able to swap the radio between vehicles.

Here's my set up...

 

[jaydubb]

I ordered a Jensen marine stereo package from Bass Pro. The stereo comes in a water resistant housing and I mounted the speakers in two 6" pvc 45's. I used MDF to close in the ends then coted it with fiber glass. Turned out prety good. The only problem was the stereo came DOA. I'm having to send it all back monday so they can send me new stuff.
