0 MuntzAngling Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Radio shack for 12 bucks. Dual speakers with 2 D-size batteries each. I vote for rechargeables. Happy rocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 iceman121 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 How is the sound? Can the be ran off of 12 volts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MuntzAngling Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The sound is good enough and plenty loud enough for ice fishing. If you are looking to plug into a 12 volt deep cycle battery, you will need an inverter or an ac adapter to run it. Unless you like lugging around the 50 lb battery, the rechargeables work nice.

0 morpho Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 look around most home electronics use dc power adapters and generaly most are 9-12 v if you catch my drift..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 morpho Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 No I am not catching the drift... I am not that bright the power cube you plug into the wall is a ac-dc transformer normally 9-12vdc meaning most of your home "a/c" powered goods can be hooked up directly to a battery ( at your own risk etc etc ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 iceman121 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 So where do I hook it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MuntzAngling Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Your lead and ground wires will connect to the battery. Those wires need to run to a female cigarette lighter plug. Buy a multi-use A/C adapter with adapta-plugs with multi-voltage settings. Read the back of the speakers for details on what voltage and the polarity (+ or -) you need. Place the correct fitting adapta-plug on the adapter (matching the polarity) and make sure the voltage is set just high enough to power the speakers according to the specs. Insert your male cigarrette adapter end (you can do this) into the female end. Get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
