I wouldn't be surprised if the internals of that are very similar to the WKing one I have. Get ittt

I hear good things about this but have not heard one myself. Looks promising, the reviews are good, you can link two together for stereo sound. The price is crazy though. $300 or two for 500. https://turtleboxaudio.com/

Fun part of going far away from people is being able to rock out with friends and not bother anyone. Ability to drown out neighbors is nice too.

It was actually two very cool events at Grand Targhee. Targhee Fest in July and Targhee Bluegrass Fest in August. I got to see 28 bands in 6 days. There were less hippies than I might have made it sound more older people still into music and partying. Targhee Fest had way more people on social security than Millenials. Most of the people in their 20s had adult supervision.

In some ways it was like a huge overland gathering plus music. There were probably 3000 people in attendance almost all camping out. I saw a lot of very cool rigs from expedition trailers to a super stretched Sprinter and everything in between. It was very cool to walk around and talk to the different owners about their setup.

It is also a top rated mountain bike resort.

Like I said, not even remotely interesting to me, and it has nothing to do with the age of the participants. Even if I liked the music, camping with thousands of people ... not a chance.

When you're lettin' er rip, how do you know you aren't bothering anyone? I don't mind people playing music in their camp, but when they try to recreate a Red Rocks concert, there's a decent chance their **************' tunes are annoying some unknown, distant person. I've camped in the sticks and had to hear someone blaring music from far away. It may be legal, but it isn't very polite.

Being a musician and former soundman, I'm partial to actual pro gear. Roland has a whole range of battery powered amps and small P.A. systems. You can find a local music shop that carries them and go check them out. The shops usually have a good selection of different models to demo, plus they won't freak out when you crank a demo unit...

If you go DIY, I'd look into automotive speakers and an amp to simplify everything with 12VDC power. As you probably know, it's not easy to make a lightweight box output good sound, so you may want to consider something on wheels. Ridgid sells a wheeled toolbox that would make a great cabinet, and it's weathertight.

Hour talked me out of building my own unit. It would suck to spend a lot of time and money building something that sounds like crap. I have that next size down version of that box, getting ready to make a "DIY Goal Zero/Yeti" out of.
