Default my audio SOLUTION!! FINALLY!!

so i got home from a long day of school and my mom said, " I got you something" and im thinkin ah fantastic some bed sheets or somethin lame, NOT!! its this thing called an IHome2go for ur ipod (video) this is what it looks like

ever since i got my car i have had no music at all. this thing has a little circular mounting thing you can wrap around somethin and hook it up, uses 4 double AA batteries and has great sound quality, although not increadibly loud (loud enough to hear 10 feet away from the car outside wti the car running. i wrapped the mounting ring around my roll bar and the thing hangs perfectly right between the passenger and driver seats. ill get a picture later tonight or this weekend. im so pumped! im an audiophile so this was a big deal for me to finally have a way to listen to my music while driving!

Neato burrito. On long road trips I take my trusty Wally world portable CD player that runs off of the cigarette lighter plug and listen to my fav jazz CD's. The wife slips in some ***** Nelson and Merle Haggard now and again.

Nice. I went the easy way when I did my system (Pioneer deck and 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers)

Great setup. I would highly recommend getting rechargeable AA's if you do not have them. Great investment.

My digital camera went through Duracells w/in 2 hours and the rechargeables lasted 2 weeks each charge. Amazing difference.

I bought my wife a video Ipod and that exact same Ihome2go and have since hijacked them both for use in the garage when I'm working on the Mustang. You're right, that little thing puts out suprisingly good sound. It also nicely controls and charges the Ipod as well.

The next thing I just bought her which should be arriving tomorrow (which I will hijack too, of course ) is a boombox that her Sirius Starmate Replay plugs into.

BTW, I'm not too sure how good of an idea it is to place that projectile up near head level. YMMV.
