DIY | HOW TO MAKE A BLUETOOTH STEREO COOLER

[@alvaradocarlos22]

Im been meaning to try something like this for the longest. Your video has great details and infor on how to run everything with out cutting the whole thing open.

[@ChanceitLA]

This maybe 6 years ago, but man this build is solid, couldn't find the same cooler so ended up with a lifetime cooler about the same size and stye. They make a bigger battery now, so went with a 11000mah battery pack just shy of double the battery life. I also used a set of Rockford Fosgate 6.5's, I did have to use a heat gun and melt the inside to give some extra room for the bigger set of speakers. Solid build and great set up! Very loud!

[@reeneeizzle]

SO HOW MUCH MORE TIME DO YOU GET OF THE 11000mah?

[@Fentertainment]

Fentertainment will the will amp or battery overheat in the sun? Plan on building one for a river trip. Great job, best build I have seen.

[@jacobrogers2483]

What are the connectors when I click on the link it just pulls up Amazon

[@danaolivarez8995]

Anyone find connectors or alternative

[@richellenicholls6912]

I sold a cooler at work a week ago, that I nearly fell over when I realized the price of it! It was about $197.00! I did a double take. I told the guy for that price it should have speakers in it like you were planning to do to this one! I saw your video where you tested the length of actual cooling in it. And then how you installed the drain plug. Neat to see it full circle now!

[@MrSpanky473]

Nice build. I did one a few years back in a igloo cube. They didn't have bluetooth built into the amplifiers back then.

[@Fentertainment]

I agree. I used to sell plans on making bluetooth coolers in colemans on ebay back in 2013. I had to add much more stuff to make it also. This was pretty much a breeze. When I started the channel I had a yeti with a stereo in it but wasnt bluetooth. This isnt a diy but its an oldie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYjIlqtvrZ6grKc

[@itscoolpapapump3812]

Another project for me to do😆👍🏻 great job!

[@evan2290]

Really like the build man, want to duplicate. Need help with one thing. I know the connector you listed connects the positive and negative from the amp to the male Y from the battery, but how does the blue from the switch connect to that same Y from the battery. since the other one is for charging. I know it connects from your diagram...but it is never shown and I can't figure out how...please help! thank you.

[@k0at240]

Question.. if I wanted to use like a power tool battery like a dewalt 12v and attached outside of the cooler.. where would the grounding point be for the amp etc.. battery?

[@Fentertainment]

The battery.

[@martinsalas4995]

I seen your video and its cool I'm ordering the parts to do it myself. The only thing I'm lost is the picture of the wiring. Can you show me how ? Or is there a better way so see how to Connect the wires? Tia

[@jasonmontet653]

Did you have to secure them or just pushed them in snug?

[@hurrikanegolf5274]

question i ordered one of the docks for a cordless 20v battery do i have to run a voltege stepdown on this amp or would it be fine direct wire to the cordless battery

[@moodymade3884]

So you just leave the battery on all the time?

[@michaelknight6608]

Where did you put the battery and amp? How long does the battery last?

[@GenglishPLC]

I watched all the way up until 0:01 when I saw your hat... then I went to the next stereo cooler build. Seriously though, nice job. It would sound even better with Tiger Rag playing!

[@Fentertainment]

LOL I hear you. Appreciate it. Wish we were having a better season. Clemson is strong again this year.

[@GonzoD505]

Would’ve like to seen how you installed the battery and amplifier in the lid as well. Unfortunately you didn’t have footage of that. Great DIY nonetheless. Perhaps you can reply with the steps in how you did install the amplifier and battery though please.

How can I connect the switch to have light up when I trun the amp on and have the light and amp trun off and using 3 3spot lever nuts

[@shawnpaul7226]

Do you have to use the volume control on it? Or can it just be controlled via Bluetooth?

[@scottmcleod2884]

Have you done a battery test? How long does that battery last?

[@14truelies]

Could you please show how exactly you got the battery to power the amp please? I’m very visual and trying to figure out how to connect power and ground to that Y off the battery. I’m assuming you have to cut the piece of the Y or could you wire in something that plugs into the Y connector?

[@moodymade3884]

So where in the lid did the amp and battery go?

[@Fentertainment]

Just in the top of the lid. Made room beside the speakers and slid them in throught the speaker holes before installing the speakers.

[@stramel89]

What's the battery life on this thing? I'm afraid it wouldn't last 8hrs blasting music.

[@seansieja6001]

I have used a pyle amp in other builds. I put it in a enclosed case and it overheated pretty fast and burnt up. Since then, I have added a little 3 inch PC fan in the wall of the cooler to vent the hot air. How do you prevent this one from overheating? Has anyone enclosed this style amp and had it not overheat?

[@rebornmotorsports1513]

Im a bit confused in wiring. In the video u said the battery button always stays on. Does the switch turn the battery on and off also if the battery switch stays in the on position? Or does the push button switch only turn on the amp? I guess im wondering that becasue if the battery always stays on does it basically just die on its own when not in use?

[@AntiTruth]

It will technically use a very small amount of battery since when you have the battery on it lights up tiny lights that tell how full the battery is. The amount used would not even register though so i wouldnt worry about that. It has to remain switched on due to the build of the battery that requires it to be in that switch position to take a charge.

[@ApaaVlogz]

How did you set up your grounding?
