nice boombox to fit on a lowrider trike

[xpallax]

hey all!
im looking to get a nice boombox to place at the back of my lowrider for crusing around.

here´s what the lowrider-platform will look like(still in the mail, will get it next week or so..):

the platform will measure 20 x 10 inches.


i want a boombox that i can use with my ipod classic 120gb, and iphone 4(would be nice if it worked with iphone 3gs aswell, for my girl)

those are my options at the moment:

http://www.amazon.com/Lasonic-i931-Boom ... B001KLYTLY

any pros/cons with this models?

i personally thinking of getting the itbb(first link) cause it looks very customizable, and is pretty cheap..
i guess the altec one will provide superior sound quality, but i might be a bit to futuristic to bang alongside with my trike.
and for the lasonic, might be to big?

last chance is i hook up the ride with something like this:

but them hooks looks a bit to narrow to fit a boombox, right?


thanks.


any input is appreciated

I love custom bicycles.

What about taking a classic one with line in?

If taking a modern one, i would choose the 931i, because of the classic look.
The ALTEC should be better sounding.

Yo I kept that site! Hot stuff there. Bikes are hot!!
As for the proper radio with Vienna and go with the i931!! It's period correct in my opinion!!
The other one is a little bland. Nice chrome on the Lasonic

so yeah, the lasonic is really nice. i think its the best looking out of the three ive come across so far..

but is it not WAY to big to fit on the platform?


anyone know if there are other ipod-dock models availible?

clqassic with line in might be good also.
any specific models that you can recommed?

I think the Altec will be your best bet.
Rugged build quality and sound is great.
Would be very easy to strap down and the batteries last a long while.
I would not trust the build quality of the Lasonic to be on a bike at all.
My two cents.

There are a lot of boxes
Best are those with AUX (line in) cinch connections.
Here you can hook up the ipod, MP3 player,... with a simple connection cable:

At boxes with DIN connectors, it´s a bit more difficoult.

At least you can use a MP3-tape in any boombox you want.

the mp3-tape looks really cool! my imac has sd-card slot, so that would work out really nice!
then i get get a more rugged boombox for a more ghetto-ride feeling.
thanks for the tip!
i think thats my first try, since it will probably be the cheapest aswell.

so, any idea for nice looking boom box to sport with this?
im really new to this..
i used to like sonys products a lot, have they made any nice boomboxes you guys now of?
