Portable Bluetooth Speakers

The Garage Playlist thread got me thinking...how about tossing a decent Bluetooth speaker into the ride when going for a ride? I don’t like today’s music so upgrading the radio in my Hurst isn’t something I want to do, but listening to my favorite tunes from my iPhone is. Does anybody have any recommendations on these Bluetooth speakers as far as great sound is concerned? I know there’s some on the market that will separate the left and right channels for true stereo sound if you have two of the same speaker. Thoughts?

Yes, I have a pair of these.

You can sometimes get them on sale for around $50. I normally use just one, but with two, you can "double up" and get stereo sound.

Their best feature is the bungee cord. you can hang it by the cord or attach it with the cord. I normally just throw it in the passenger's seat.

I’ve got the original AM radio in my dash but listen to two Bugani M83s in rear seat - they link together for simulated stereo, and sync easily with my phone to enjoy Spotify, and they’re loud - I can hear them just fine with the top down doing 55. Sometimes on sale for under 50 but still a pretty good deal at 65 each.

I have one of these, I have had it about 5 years I think , Its a little pricier than some (as JBL products are) but worth every penny !! the sound quality is fantastic I don't know how they get that rich sound out of something that size, the battery life is one of the longest around
and the charger and cord are high quality it can be linked with other JBL speakers, I some times throw it in the back seat of the Olds when cruising volume is no problem !! I got it at Walmart.

I have OOntz
they can be paired for true stereo
the also can be played while charging, 12 volt or 110volt ... charge last up to 15 hours +-
will not shut off when the battery goes low - just will play less loud
they allow more than 1 Bluetooth input so others can take turns sending the signal
Very Happy with mine / 21 watts

Ive got 2 JBL charge 4s synced together. 20hr batteries (plus I made a USB plug for my car so I charge them on the go), clear and loud sound. I can hear them clearly with open headers, windows down, going down the highway. Probably have hearing damage, but gotta have my music

I recommend getting the custom autosound bluetooth system. It's a look a like of a classic am radio but it's bluetooth technology. Then put in some really nice speakers. I have two 6x9's hidden underneath the package track, a couple tweeters in the dash and two subs in the trunk with an amplifier of course. She rocks!!!

I plan to get a blue tooth set up also. I have a question for you guys who have done it. Can you get your favorite FM station over your phone? I'm sure most use their own play list but I am not a fan of playlists. There is something I like about random music that someone else picked out. I don't want to hear my favorite music over and over. Thanks Greg.

The custom autosound set up also am and fm radio plus the bluetooth option. If you want random music just play streaming playlists through your bluetooth instead of using music off your phone. Your sound quality will be better than any radio station and you can pick playlists (created by others) in any genre you desire.
