OK,maybe you've enjoyed a peaceful day of fishing.Let's say your out on the river for 3-4 days,camping along the way,and you want to listen to some tunes.Anybody come up with some tricked out stereo setups? |

I went through 500$ worth of ipod's in the last month, and ipods don't let passengers listen. Ipods and capsizes don't mix. I too would like a waterproof stereo system that can work on a kayak or hobie cat. |

This is what I use. $50 bucks plus tax right now with promo code. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6882720010 But, an on-board stereo system would be pretty cool though! |

I have been thinking about using a Bluetooth speaker like the Jawbone jambbox in a waterproof bag. Not sue how the sound would be coming out of the bag but in the store the sound is awesome. |

http://www.gracedigitalaudio.com/eco-extreme-p-113.html I've had mine about a year..my buddy has had his for 2. Battery life is outstanding with a good set of rechargables. Sound is great at low volumes which is plenty loud for the yak. I've given mine a pretty rough life so far..tough as nails. |

I purchased a stero bluetooth headset for use with my smartphone. Not only can I listen to tunes, I am also able to answer the phone! I keep my EVO in a waterproof bag on the inside of my PA. |

all great suggestions.My brother-in -law is installing a dashmount boat receiver in his Malibu.It will include bracket mounted speakers,a battery pack,extensive wiring,and his mp3.My son just came home with a bluetooth speaker from Bed,Bath And Beyond.Who'd a thought something for $40 would sound so good.Waterproof? Yea,we put it inside a ziplock freezer bag.You can stream Pandora from your phone or plug in your mp3.The sound is awesome.Check it out. |

Won't speakers mounted into the kayak transmit the sound into the water and scare off the fish with all the noise??? |

Let him scare them my way. I go to the outdoors to get away from that stuff. Some people have different ways of relaxing. I can see the ripples in the water, like the trunk of some of those cars. He probably has 24" rims on his trailer too. |

Kayak Angler Magazine tested it out, with a great review. It works great, and I'm glad I purchased it! |

I have been sealing my iPhone in a ziplock baggie and stuffing it in my PFD pocket, but I know I'm tempting fate relying on that baggie if I ever turtle |
