Default Another way to "radio-ize" your golf cart.

I have an overhead shelf in front and (key for this to work) an aux 12v outlet below the dash. So I bought a pair of usb-powered Altec-Lansing speakers and bolted them on top of the overhead shelf (for weather protection) cost was $18-20. Also bought for $4 a male-female usb extension cord that makes an easy wire connection to the aux. outlet.

The aux. outlet requires a usb adapter plug costs about $5. Finally added a Colby digital AM-FM radio ($15) that has a headphone jack that connects to the usb powered Altec Lansing speakers. So total cost for am-fm radio with a digital readout is about $44. I can also drive the speakers with my iPod iTouch if I want to do it that way.

The wiring from the speakers I ran down the post on passenger side of the wind-shield and used couple of black cable ties to secure it in position.
