Re: will this radio work
Well...
Your going to need speakers! One thing that I did notice that it wasn't a "marine" radio... (water resistant) it will act just like your other radio, when it gets wet! I do remember seeing a "Dual" brand marine radio, with 4 speakers, in a boating magazine,. for about the same price! something to consiter! but if you've gotten it already... you'll have a red,(+12v) a yellow (+12v clock) and a black negative... PLUS, your speaker connections... I'd suggest keep shopping... if I come up with the boating mag name, I'll let you know! (only cause I'm ready for one myself!) |

Re: will this radio work
pretty much any radio will work. all you have to do id feed it 12v. a marine radio would be a better choice though. If it is in a box you could try a cover for the face plate.
tha being said I know many people at teh campground (me included) that have been using regular radio's for years with no problems. we just keep them dry! -Aaron |

Re: will this radio work
make sure you ground the radio to a battery and not the frame or anywhere else...........all grounds must go to a battery unless you have the reducer hooked up with the grounding strip..................................

Re: will this radio work
I was wanting to install a radio and or a VHF(when I get this project cart running)....but I decided against it simply concearned that battery life and range would be decreased even if I installed a simple AM/FM stereo with 2 speakers.
What effect have you guys seen ? On another note...on boats we install 2 speakers, MP3 outlet,MP3 bracket,small amp and 12 volt acc plug(to keep MP3 player powered). Has anyone tried this ? |

Re: will this radio work
A radio without a power amp is not a problem for the pack.
