Military Boom Box

[Sharecropper]

Instead of installing a radio in my M1028, my wife wants to get me a military-themed bluetooth boom box for Christmas.

Anybody ever heard of such a crazy thing? After thinking about it, it makes sense, because all my old country songs are on my phone. Beam me up Scotty. And because of all the switches and gauges I have installed, there's no room for a radio anyway.

Anybody got any ideas for a military-themed boom box?

Administrator, if this is not an appropriate place to ask this question, please tell me where.

Thanks in advance for comments.

I like my JBL amplified bluetooth speaker. Has good sound and gets loud enough to hear in my Deuce. They make lots of different sizes. Not sure about the "military" aspect but I suppose you could paint it. Just a thought, FWIW.

OK I have been asked where this military boom box would be located in my M1028.

I would lay it on it's back on the transmission tunnel. And before you ask, I did away with the TC shift lever in favor of a cable shifter located beside the driver's seat. As soon as mama gives me the OK, I'm ordering the darn boom box.

Do you have a model you can share? I am looking for one. Thanks.

Yes, the one I have is a JBL Charge 5. About the size of a football. Mine came from Wally World, around $130.

Yeah it's my daughter's inheritance, but I still need mama's blessing !

I just now ordered the ammo boom box with Bluetooth and USB charging port. I will post photos and a review here when it arrives.
