etalian Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I'm curious to the specs on it and how much $$$ you have invested in all this. 2012CC6.2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joffems Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 That's awesome. Build looks really clean. Next update, it needs to drive to you and open the lid to serve you a cold one. 2012CC6.2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012CC6.2 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm curious to the specs on it and how much $$$ you have invested in all this. It is a 110 Qt cooler, speakers side is capped off by two plastic cutting boards epoxied in for water protection when the ice melts. Radio runs off of a Lawn and Garden type battery with no Amplifier. The battery last FOREVER it seems like off of one charge. I play softball tournaments every weekend and this charge probably has 30+ hours so far without a recharge. It is hooked up to a toggle for power shut down since there isnt really good way to make an ignition/remote turn on wire. I have built about 30 or so of these thing, but this is the first one i've done for myself. I have right around $350 invested in this one. That's awesome. Build looks really clean. Next update, it needs to drive to you and open the lid to serve you a cold one. Thanks bud, i really enjoy the thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooperS7777 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 This is great! How many "beverages" does she hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm thinking next you need to build an Adam's Detailing box that holds detailing products, a Flex, and has a built in radio. Perfect for detailing on the go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012CC6.2 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) This is great! How many "beverages" does she hold? It will hold about 50. Really roomy inside (: That's really neat! Nice work. Thank You! I'm thinking next you need to build an Adam's Detailing box that holds detailing products, a Flex, and has a built in radio. Perfect for detailing on the go! I am actually selling this one and going to build one with a double DIN cd/dvd player for our long waits when we are in the Winner bracket (: Edited October 4, 2013 by 2012CC6.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etalian Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 This is sweet! How loud does it get with no external amp? I'm assuming you're just running 60 watts off of the built-in MOSFET amp on the receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you're just running 60 watts off of the built-in MOSFET amp on the receiver. It actually does surprisingly well without an amp. I use it at tournaments all the time and get comments on how loud it is lol! Too cool...... Thanks, Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etalian Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Sweet. What are the specs on your head unit? I'm trying to build one on a budget. Raptor mods are $$$ and Adam's isn't helping! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
