Weather Proof Tunes

Head Unitless StereoTwo dead head units per year. That is the average price we pay for taking our Jeep off-road. Head units just don't deal well with the dust, dirt, and water that end up inside a topless Jeep. At an average cost of $200-$250 each, we are going through $400-$500 a year just in head units. That cost is even higher when we factor in the number of CDs we've destroyed in the dirt. Well, we've found a solution to dumping money down the drain to have tunes in the dirt.

Two dead head units per year. That is the average price we pay for taking our Jeep off-road. Head units just don't deal well with the dust, dirt, and water that end up inside a topless Jeep. At an average cost of $200-$250 each, we are going through $400-$500 a year just in head units. That cost is even higher when we factor in the number of CDs we've destroyed in the dirt. Well, we've found a solution to dumping money down the drain to have tunes in the dirt.
We've done the tape over the slot trick to keep dust out of the CD mechanism, we've stashed the head unit in consoles and other enclosures, but somehow we always end up killing it. So, we've decided to get rid of the head unit altogether. By adding an amplifier and an iPod, we have all the music we could ever want, our CDs stay safe at home, never to be destroyed on a trail again, and our stereo actually sounds better than it ever did.
So, check out how we took an iPod, an amplifier, and two pairs of speakers to put together what might be the last stereo this Jeep will ever need.Sealing Your Stereo Muddy Face Photo
