    I thought about solar, but it would require a 15 watt panel to provide just over a 1 amp charge in full sun. That would take 12 hours to charge from depleted, if the radio was turned off.

    I love thw idea of solar, but the little float charger/maintainer panels just wouldnt cut it.

    You just need to add the expanded metal to cover your speakers. How's the SWR? Neat project though!
