I know I have been asking a bit and appreciate all of your input. I have searched the forum through and through to see about radios. I am looking to get peoples opinion. Do you use a marine radio, or regular car radio? Also, what about amplifiers?

I use a marine radio and 2x marine speakers. No amp.

i have an old am /fm rv radio with spark o matic speakers and a rubber autozone antenna

this was mine last summer. since then I have added a sub under the seat between the motor and batteries firing down, component speaker up front and a Bluetooth xm, radio. Can live wireless stream thru the iphone easy. Can use Pandora, youtube, phone calls or whatever thru your phone. I use to use a cord with the old radio but this is really the way to go. good luck with it. paul

I am looking into getting a system on my cart as well and I did a little research and I know that the Marine Speakers have a weather resistant woofer. Depending on where your going to mount the speakers this might be a better solution.

Love the setup I was going to do the blue nos sub in my cart but they didn't have the 250 sub only in the black one mines going to be here today. On my way to walmart for a marine deep cycle battery or scooter battery.

2004hd,

Go with a marine radio, it will save you money in the long run. I went through 2 ea reg radio's untill I installed a marine 2 yrs ago. It rocks the woods pretty good.

I think I will go marine with the stereo. Read a lot about getting a regular car stereo and a marine case, but for peace of mind....

The setup came out good. I fabbed a bracket to make the bottle "float" in the bagwell. I havent hooked it up yet. Went through a ton of dynamat as the rear area around the sub i put 3 layers on to stiffen it up to eliminate vibration
