Polaris Ranger Radio install...
 

Well I was bored for the past 2 days and decided to throw a little something together for the polaris.

Goals:

1. CHEAP. The lesser spent the better
2. Waterproof. This beast sits outside 24/7/365
3. Stealth. (see above, plus it goes into mud a lot whilst hunting)
4. Operate flawlessly (You know me, if you are going to do something do it RIGHT!)


Old Pioneer Deck that someone didnt want.............$0
Scrap MDF laying about......................................$0
Scrap Carpet laying about...................................$0
All the wires and loom I need laying about..............$0
Extra spray adhesive from an earlier project............$0
Fiberglass from an upcoming project......................$0
Fiberglass cloth............................................. ...$5
Phase Linear 6.5" speakers from work....................$5
Jensen Marine amplified FM antenna......................$9
About 6 hours of fun, enjoyably slow install work.....$0

Having a better sounding system than many of the cars on the road in our Polaris ranger with only 19 bux invested.........................hehe well you know! ;)

Waterproof, stealthy, and functional!

How is this waterproof you ask? That carpeted enclosure is mostly fiberglass. Yes the baffle plate only is mdf, but it is literally entombed in fiberglass. Aside from the baffle board, it's 100% fiberglass that's carpeted! this is a view under neath the bonnet before I positioned the box as you will soon see. :)

If you get down in the footwells of the thing and look up underneath the dash you get to see this: The only thing that bugs me is how I've got it secured...zip ties.
