My kid got a ipod for a high school grad gift. Now he is away at college with a b-day coming up and mentioned he would like a item he can "dock" his ipod on with external speakers to listen to his tunes.

I'm not a tech person and have no idea what he is taliking about. Can anyone help me here? Besides being tech-challenged, I'm also cheap so would be looking for something not too high end.

THANKS!!

Basically he is looking for a unit that his IPod will plug into that he can listen to without headphones that will also charge it at the same time. There are quite a few. Not sure how "high end" you want to go, but this one is looks pretty decent:

go to your local Target,Wal-mart, Sam's Club, Best Buy, Circuit City. Pretty much any store that sells ipods will have a few selections, it basic looks like a radio with a dock on the top instead of a cd player.

They shoul be around $50 and up with the decent ones starting around $100.

With most of these, they are not going to get very loud. If they do, they will not have the best sound. I've got the Altec Lansig one ($150) for the fish house (runs off of AA batteries). Mine is the 4 speaker setup. It sounds decent. There are some others like Bose and Harmon Kardon, but they're going to run around $299. I would go to the stores mentioned above and listen to some of them.

You're right, you can hook them up to just about anything with the radio adaptor, but the nice thing about the docks is that they charge it at the same time. Some docks however dont have charging capabilities, so when you buy your son one, I would atleast make sure it has that.

I have the one, as I stated above, then I also have a AV to microphone jack plugged into the back of my receiver. Don't waste your $ on the monster cable ($20 or $30) that does the same thing as a radio shak adapter for $5

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
