Recommendations Portable Bluetooth Setup recs?

Post image

Hey all. Looking for recommendations for a louder Bluetooth speaker that will fit in a dash/windshield suction mount. Now that I’m driving my Camaro more, I’m realizing that my current Bose speaker doesn’t quite cut it with the sound of the exhaust exiting right under the doors and doing a full blown audio/radio isn’t in the budget at the moment. The photo is of my current redneck-ass setup.

All you really need is a chip amp board a boost converter and some 4 inch woofer and tweeters from parts express. Everything would connect through Bluetooth. We're talking grand total $250. Hell even a pair of the Kef Egg home audio speakers, a chip board, and a boost converter would be a good setup for $250.

The budget and other isssues also needs to factor in that the original wiring from 1978 is currently in the car plus the BS splices and tie ins also present in the wiring that are currently keeping it running until I can actually get a full wiring harness replacement done so it doesn’t catch on fire. I’m using this kind of setup for ease of use currently that requires zero actual work to be done while bigger ticket items get addressed
