Here’s my (almost) completed portable solar car stereo. The entire unit is composed of solely car stereo parts, excluding the solar panels. The entire build time was approximately 30+ hours. I actually built this out of inspiration after I saw an “Ion Audio Block Rocker”. I mainly use this during the summer, when I load it on a wagon and bring it on the beach. It attracts a lot of attention, trust me.
Read below for all of the specs. I appreciate any and all feedback. Also, please check out my website if you’re interested….
