Very intesting, but sweet. If the damn easy button doesnt work for the locker, use it for the on off switch

The tube would have to pop then I'd imagine they have some way of latching the lid shut and it'll float.

Leebo did this like 4 years ago, but I bet his expense was much greater.

A regular cooler, some ductape, and a ghetto blaster would have sufficed just fine. :flipoff2:

...or a JBrune Shower Stall AM/FM Radio special. Turns out, it's only water RESISTANT. It couldn't resist the powers of the Guadaloop.

we sealed that little lid but were just gonna put the ipod in a small ziploc and duck tape it closed.

we have it playing in the back yard right now :flipoff2: its not just for the river. the thing actually thumps pretty good because of the air space. :gigem:

I think that walmart has some pretty nice cheap and small battery chargers, maybe get one of those to dedicate just to the radio

J Cooper

already got it
but....
we ran the radio for 8 hours straight and it only dropped from 14V to 12.8V

upgrade to marine speakers possibly?

J Cooper

it says they are water resistant... and usually cheap speakers like that actually seal pretty well... i had a set in my jeep for like 5 years and got rained on weakly in the summers when the top was off and they still worked till the day i pulled the radio out.

and if the water does **** them up they only cost like $9.95 each
