Try the Turtlebox speakers. They are rugged, tough and have great sound and base. Quality speakers that I am surprised more people dont have. [https://amzn.to/3NdcMfT](https://amzn.to/3NdcMfT)
Avoid the smaller turtlebox, go for the grande. It’s my current go to boat/outdoor speaker. I’ve had multiple JBL boombox/party box’s and both the soundboks 4 and Go(loved both) but the turlebox grande fits the loud and portable niche well.
Turtle box Grande. I have had the JBL party boxes, boombox3, wking, soundboks 4, SB Go, and no the turtlebox. The go was the best sounding in that environment, but lacked being waterproof and salt spray long term was going to be an issue. The grande is 90% of the go’s sound while having better battery and a smaller footprint. There ARE other speakers that sound better, you’re not going for that, you want loud and tuned to cut through wind. Turtlebox is very gimmicky/lifestyle as a brand and the OG turtlebox sounds terrible, but they dis make a good product with the Grande.
I do, after I remodeled my boat, I purposely didn’t install a dedicated stereo, and instead used my soundboks Go, and recently replaced it with the Grande. I’m on the water 2/3 days a week and it’s in use the whole time. I’d upload a photo I’d redo it let me, but it’s around saltwater, sand, fish blood, you name it. Handles it like a champ and is very usable running at 45mph.
I love my turtlebox original, has been through the ringer of lake days and ranch days. pricey though
The original is a bit large. The size can be an issue in a golf cart or if you’re hiking etc. plus it’s like 10lbs and doesn’t have magnets like the ranger so it can become a weapon when not strapped down in a moving vehicle.
Just got a Turtlebox and it blows every other Bluetooth speaker I’ve had out of the water in sound quality, volume and battery life. It’s also waterproof.
Turtlebox. If someone else has one too, you can “pair” them and songs will play in stereo.
