Built my first river radio cooler. The dang thing rocks. Can still hear every bit of the song 100 yards away and that's not even full volume. Whole thing cost me right around 100-105$. Definitely beats my Bose Soundlink. Was lucky to find a 600watt amp for 35$ at a pawn shop. Will definitely be building more.

Solar Panel is not worth the added expense. The demand of the amp is far greater than the input from the solar panel. There is a forum you can search for that is spot on for the cooler radio topic and based in Texas.
I have built a dozen or so, it's a fun hobby. One thing of note, either build a radio in a cooler or just have a cooler. Trying to make a cooler radio function as a real cooler is pretty tough. Just get a bigger cooler and use a bag style cooler inside, lol.Last edited by Mike; 07-17-2017, 11:50 AM.

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?
