When you look at those tiny Blutooth speakers at Bestbuy for $200 and wonder who the fnck buys that crap....
How about a Ion Audio Road Warrior 500w classD Blutooth dual 10" kicker box with 12 hours of battery life for $169 ?
Now that's stupid.
It can also just be hooked up to your car stereo, or plug a mic into it like a PA system.
Quoted from indypinhead:I'm happy with my "old school" wired speakers.
Sure, but if you needed a kicker box for your trunk anyway, or you wanted a Blutooth speaker for your garage, or wanted a PA speaker for your next clan gathering, this thing looks stupidly great in all the Youtube reviews.
It's not a replacement for the wired speakers on your home stereo.....
Quoted from Gryszzz:My question is how do you power 500 watts with no amp?
It has a 500w classD amp built in.
And a replaceable sealed lead acid battery ($14.99 @ any HomeDepot). It comes with a 20amp hour battery, but nothing is stopping you from replacing it with larger unit when it dies.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Vid did you read about Glenn Tipton today? Sad to hear. Wonder if they're still gonna tour. Was pretty pumped to see them this summer.
Still going to tour:
"
Glenn said: "I want everyone to know that it's vital that the JUDAS PRIEST tour go ahead and that I am not leaving the band — it's simply that my role has changed. I don't rule out the chance to go on stage as and when I feel able to blast out some PRIEST! So at some point in the not-too-distant future, I'm really looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful metal maniacs once again."
"
Quoted from hawknole:The big question on this speaker is what is the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)? 500 watts means nothing. I will take a clear 50 watt amp with very low THD over 500 watts of distorted crap. I am not an audiophile but from my experience, the THD is one of the most important factors when reproducing sound.
That's the fun of classD.
A couple years ago I went to upgrade my truck stereo, and of course I looked first at Rockford Fosgate for amps.
My buddy who owns a auto sound shop shows me these tiny Rockfords.
I was incredulous that a 1 pound amp is going to put out 500w of clean power (I was accustomed to Rockfords being giant plates).
He put a R500 amp on the dyno, set it for 2ohm and 1% distortion limit - that mother fncker put out 611watts !
It has a MAP price of $125 and most shops will give it to your for $90 if your are not a dill bag.

Nowadays the bigger plate amps push out 1500 watts 1% THD for $189
It's insane:
If you like that kind of stuff, make sure you check out the the NAME show in April.
It moves between Northern OH and Lower MI every few years.
Quoted from xsvtoys:Lots of cool stuff. Really, I am tempted by much of it. However after many years of carefully studying all of the stupid things I could buy, I remain convinced this is at the top of the list. I absolutely must have one of these some day. Nothing I have ever seen tops it.
