Ammo can is under the seat. Stays underwater, not a single leak.

Just finish mounting the speakers on the roof,no amp, just the radio. Not to bad for maybe $150 in the whole setup.

iPods for sure. Some guys run them direct to an amp, some through a stereo.

thnaks guess this caveman needs an ipod now lol!

Subject: Re: Stereo Picture Thread Thu May 09, 2013 1:08 pm

So what is all needed for an Ipod/Iphone to amp direct install, off of a stock battery.

Marine grade amp, any minimum Watts etc?
Speakers, would 2 between 5-7" work good?, any particular brands.

How about wiring and install location, I'm thinking roof would be best as I use glove box, but since I have a under seat storage container, I could use glove box for the amp also.

I am only a lowly CNC machinist and am not good with wiring or electronics at all, so as much info as possible is appreciated. Thanks!!

iPod for sure and I have my amp in the glove box. You can find good waterproof ipod to amp set ups on e-bay they are 300 watt most of them are set up for bigger street bikes.

What type of amp am I looking for that will take the ipod/iphone or MP3 accessories,or is it simply an AUX jack location in the amp itself? 300 W should be good also than for amp? I've read about a voulme control, is that needed or will the Ipod be able to control the volume?

I've been looking at www.tigerdirect.com just to see whats available.

on mine , I have a simple wire / adapter that goes from dual RCA plugs to 1/8 th in stereo plug. You can find them almost anywhere. The RCA's plug in to amp and the 1/8th stereo jack plugs in to anything with a headphone jack.

Would 1 speaker in the center like this below be better than...

2 of these, or similar?

The problem I had with speakers in the middle was all of the sound was in one ear. Drove me crazy !!! Now I have 2 in the middle and one on each side of driver or passenger. Sitting in either seat, You get a good balance from ear to ear.
