RTV 500 upgrade.

Just finished the install over the weekend for my stereo. Added an 200 watt 4 speaker marine grade Pyle Stereo. The speakers are rectangle like used in a surround sound system so I mounted them to the roll bars under the roof. It has a USB for Ipods and a SD card slot. Stayed away from the CD player as I figured the rough ride would have made it pointless. Found a marine grade "rubber duck" antenne at Walmart.com for $9 so I have AM/FM channels as well. My girls ran 2 tanks of gas thru her over the weekend just driving around listening to music... HAHA
 
Nice upgrade!

I did the same myself with a couple minor tweaks. Marine stereo CD players are buffered several seconds ahead. Bouncing around doesn't make it skip (so you can play CD's).
Consider getting a deep-cycle marine battery. At 200w, if you're just sitting listening to the stereo without the engine running, you'll run your battery down relatively quickly and then you can't start your engine. For now, at least carry a jumper box or spare battery/jumper cables in the bed... just in case.
