race car radio

Post by prairiehotrodder »

does anyone make a small 12V FM radio that has its own built in speaker ? Something really tiny and basic for a race car just so i can hear the track's radio station when i'm in my car.

If nothing else I have a diy "project" idea.
I have a set of the 3m headphone radio/bluetooth that I use when mowing.
They have excellent high volume if needed. Wonder about Turning the headphones around and hanging them on the roll bar.
Or gut it and use what is needed to make up a little radio.
It's all there. Speakers, volume, station controls.
Ok, back to my corner.

Oh, they don't pick up stations through metal so a itty bitty antenna to the outside will be needed.
