Shop radios
Looking for a real stereo w/4 speakers that I can mount in all 4 corners of my shop so when I need a lil motivation I can crank some DB's into the shop.
Ive got an old school home stereo that will work but I get **** for reception where we are, on top of being inside a steel building.
It does have windows so I can put an antenna in/out a window.
I also want it bluetooth capable. Ive got one now but it doesnt have the balls to do what I need.
Interested in your advice and experiences.
Thx guys.

I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

You can pick up a bluetooth dvd/surround sound for a couple hundred bucks. Just depends on how much you want to spend. The home theater systems are usually 6 speakers now. A center, 4 surrounds, and a subwooofer. They work ok in the shop once you get the speaker placement right. It can be a challenge to get a good sound from the subwoofer in the open environment of a shop though. More power (more $$$) is your friend...

some of the outdoor type stereos sound good in the shop but usuially just 2 speakers. Old Peavey PA stuff can be picked up cheap sometimes and that stuff will get LOUD

200 watt car stereo. 99 bucks. Used house speakers, an old battery and trickle charger for power. Remote and bluetooth on most units. I like the pioneer and alpine. A reg antennae from a car usually works well. Had this set up in my barn for decades. Yes, I am part scottish and cheap......But this will rock out the shop. Most that hear mine are surprised to see the crappy set up. I do have a set of old marantz box speakers which I think are the key to good sound on kinda low power units.

I bought a party speaker, rechargable, bluetooth, fm tuner. I bought it at ABC warehouse for $100. It is loud and sounds great. I bought it to put on the boat.
