Built one about 20 years ago out of 2 big horse water trough buckets for floating down the Guadalupe. Had 6 6x9 speakers with a big amp and marine battery. That thing would jam! Fun times

I guess I'm the old man yelling at kids to get off my lawn, but why do you need to hear it from 100 yards away?
And are you not concerned about the noise pollution to all the other folks wanting to enjoy floating a river, etc. without hearing your music?
I've been floating the rivers in the Hill Country all my life...never needed music, the sound of the water and conversation with friends and the sounds of beer being opened was all I ever needed.
But, to each their own just don't make me listen to your music
Good job OP...put some thought into that contraption.

I've got a 1000watt amp in my River cooler piped to 2 speakers, and a 400w piped to two more... all running off my 'music' cell phone using either a USB cord or bluetooth (depending what mood I'm in)
I run a garden tractor battery, with a solar panel.. (but i plug it in the charger at the trailer in evenings.)
Its loud as hell..sounds great, and i get a ton of compliments, people wanting to know how its built.., and had some of other floaters shut theirs off to listen to ours..
just gotta play the right music.. (no rap, no metal, - just old country/new country/texas country/aggie war hymn/ 70's/80's rock)
it runs all day and into the night - no issues.
