re: Looking for a cooler with speakers

I've built one but can't say I would do it again. Used the best parts I could find and wound up spending about $300. Sound is ok but not great. Probably due to poor resonance or baffling. An ice chest is not made of MDF board so i wasn't expecting it to be great but it should be better than it is. Also have always had problems with a rattling lid. Tried everything from foam gasket to rubber seals. Nothing works well or lasts.

If had to do again I would have gone smaller, used a 12volt tractor battery instead of a full sized car battery, and left out the car radio/CD player and instead gone with an iPhone mount.

Good luck.
