![]() Hey guys, with summer coming up im looking into getting a good quality portable stereo for camping trips. For several years we've set up a home theater system using our vehicle batteries and inverters but its a huge pain in the ass lugging all the gear out there weekend after weekend. Anyone have any experience with a portable stereo with an aux input or iphone dock specifically used for camping?

![]() How about http://www.google.ca/search?q=headph...w=1259&bih=835 so that the rest of the campground doesnt hear bass all day long?
Sorry for the rant, but I camp to get away from my tv, phone, stereo etc. and get annoyed having to listen to other peoples stereos, generators and ac units.

![]() uh huh... I guess i probably didnt supply enough information. Ive camped at a provincial campground only a handful of times. When your 15-30km away from the nearest house, boat launch, paved road, i dont think a battery powered stereo should bother your "outdoor experience". Regardless i perfer earbuds, not a big fan of the whole ear muffs, filters out the bird chirps.

![]() Notebook computer with a couple of external speakers. You can probably even go 5:1 surround sound if you've got a good built in sound card.

Ill take a look at that one at futureshop later in the week, i think i have a buddy that has one fairly similar, looks familiar. @mike I didnt even think about hooking up external speakers to the laptop. Thats a great idea too if this battery didnt die within a year and a half of buying the laptop. Ill have to look into that and see what kind of speakers are available.

![]() If you go the notebook computer route, you'll likely need a small inverter & run off your vehicle battery. Most of the speaker set ups for notebooks will have a small sub woofer that needs an extra power supply for the oomph. The inverter will also take care of the dead notebook battery issue.

![]() Walmart sells a very small portable speaker that simply plugs into your ipod headphone jack, the speaker is charged by usb and will last a few hours before needing another charge. It's a lot better than I would have thought and it can fit in your pocket. I think it's like $15.

![]() I have gone camping with this unit, puts out good sound. I believe the new one has an ipod port on it now too.
