mounting a music player

[caseboy]

i'm in the process of re-wiring all the 12v part of my '75 10'co. the old wiring is not trustworty(started smoking during a test hook-up).i've converted 2 of the light fixtures to 12v only and will ad a couple more fixtures. i'm thinking about putting in some tunes.maybe a cheap car deck with cd/radio/usb/etc. my initial thought was to hang it under the upper cabinet near the cab-over bed. in the interest of "measure twice,cut once", what are some of your thoughts about placement throughout camper. this seems to be a good accessible ,but out of the way place, but maybe not the best place? any experience or ideas would help.

thanks,wes

I'm a FWC owner, but tunes are tunes

I considered a car stereo, but my music has become more of a digital collection and I ended up pumping tunes from my phone (from memory, and from Spotify which does off-grid playlists as well as live). We found a great little bluetooth speaker which has good sound and recharges off USB. We like it because we can play music with it in the camper, or take it outside while hanging out with the BBQ. When we watch movies on our laptop, we connect to the speaker then also.

Yep. Pretty much the same thing I did but with a different brand. I have almost all my music on my tablet.

I got the gray grill on mine though. It comes in several colors.

Might as well join the responders.... I use a Jambox. (https://jawbone.com/speakers/jambox) It has great sound.

I've been thinking of one of these for my DD (Duran-Duran tape is stuck in the deck) as well as one for the camper. In the camper I'd connect it to some bookshelf speakers.

having a NCO puts me out of the positioning discussion but I'm watching closely...one day

Is the sound decent? We paid $99 for the mini-boom, but your unit is on sale right now for $39. The bose unit lists for $299

This is what I use, runs on a couple of aa batteries or if I have 120v power it even charges my phone.
