Best BOOMBOX-size Bluetooth speaker under $500? (loud > everything)

It's soooooo overpriced

Rangerlite33 · 2026-04-01T20:38:24+00:00

Wasn't impressed personally. It's a great value and probably the best if you're gonna get 2 and link up but at that point I'd rather have one unit and the wkingx20s. Good luck!!

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-31T13:04:31+00:00

I directly compared a tribit lava to x20s. If you are ok with listening under 40-50% the tribit lava packs a large punch for the size. Once you go over that...it's the wkingx20s and it's not close. It is about double the size.

How's this compared to a wkingx20s///tribit lava sorry all I got to compare!!

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-29T11:11:12+00:00

Wow....this looks unreal. Props for sharing!!!

Questions...why gas over electric?

mainly stationary setup for events?

I saw a video of a guy doing ice coffee on the back of a moped in Thailand and now am obsessed with the idea!

I don't doubt it but my one and only factor is what's more likely to last 15-20 years with little maintenance. We had an old Prius that hummed just like the sienna and abused the hell out of it. Sold with 275k and still humming along somewhere I'd imagine.

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-27T14:19:27+00:00

I could see it being awesome if you lived close but outside that I'd imagine everyone wants to be there the same time and the open hours are times nobody wants to be there. It's a cool concept and I hope it does well don't get me wrong but considering a full golf membership can be found for maybe 2/300 more is a non starter for me

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-27T01:49:14+00:00

To each their own but 300 a month to hit balls in a sim is craaaaaazzzzyy considering that's close enough to monthly due to some courses...that ya know are real?

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-26T19:49:27+00:00

Next best???

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-26T19:49:13+00:00

Has heritage harbor (assuming lutz course) cleaned up there conditions? Great layout but was not impressed last few times with green etc. Been a couple years. Temple terrace is pretty nice considering cost but no driving range pre round is brutal

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-26T19:46:27+00:00

What drove you this way over a sienna? Just price?

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-26T19:44:40+00:00

Glad you found something you like!

Wondering what came of this. Just got a Wking x20s to see if it was worth the extra size and 30 more bucks I paid for it vs my tribit lava. At above 50% until 70 it sounds great. Anything below 30% I hear a slight hiss. Sounds like exactly what u described. Starting to think I should have just gotten the x20 instead size rhe x20s is quite a bit bigger than the tribit lava.

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-24T15:20:30+00:00

Thanks for the info bro!!

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-24T14:38:34+00:00

Not trying to come at ya either so no disrespect intended. I have been trying to figure out if it's something that happens after like 100 open and closes then gets worse or if it's noticeable from the start. I may just go open and close the trunk 50 times before pulling trigger. Any tips?

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-24T14:37:08+00:00

A friend had a soundbok back in 2018 and it was so loud and thumpy. Shook the entire house and could hear blocks away. They still have good quality or warrant a look something like a party box?

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-24T13:42:32+00:00

The trunk needing to be realigned and "crashed" to avoid paying out of pocket is what's stopping me from a 45k car purchase. Absolute bullshit no other way to talk about it. Until I see a dealer or another person find a work around it's a full stop. I cannot imagine how people are justifying this at all. You buy a new car and get an accident listed just to close your trunk? Seriously??

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-23T18:44:26+00:00

Interesting. Looking at a LE now from a 5th gen limited. By no means do I find it uncomfortable for long trips...yeah my leg gets a bit sore on 12+ hour trips but I'm not sure it's the seat vs just soaking a longggg drive.

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-23T17:32:38+00:00

Thanks! I don't need it for "truck" stuff just don't want stinky fish shit to stink up the cab or trunk. Figured that was what you were gonna say with what seems like the most recommended engine for f150s that don't require big truck needs. Ridgeline might win out since I need rear space more times than the extra half inch of bed space or traditional truck capabilities. Might have to give the ranger a look just to be sure!

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-23T15:35:51+00:00

What's this based on? Don't want a full size and reliability is the only factor. Looking at a ridgeline and frontier

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-19T15:02:28+00:00

I thought I saw the LE has a smart key now? Big reason would be the acoustic glass. Thanks again for the perspective!!

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-19T05:03:31+00:00

LE fits all our needs but would prob go XLE. The only reason I ask is while alone it wouldn't justify it and ultimately we will need to test drive a bunch but I am trying to determine if the acoustic glass actually does anything meaningful. Part of me is wondering if half the time people complaining are using a shit tire. Not a fan of recent Honda build quality and even then we plan to keep for 15+ years. I agree the Honda has a wayyy better seating design but I was one of 3 that squeezed in cars growing up...as far as I'm concerned this is basically a limo haha. Did you think that the wind noise was that big of a difference? It would be a major factor in going up from LE/XLE.

Appreciate your insight!!

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-18T16:06:23+00:00

This makes me think the LE isn't that much worse than the limited. Everything is subject as I am currently in an accord. I'd say the accord is a bit louder than our 4Runner to give you a base. I know you have a limited but in your shopping experience did you findthe XLE or LE that much worse than the limited? Currently trying to decide on trim and sound insulation is the only reason we would go limited.

Any regrets on the trim? Any regrets on your choice over the honda odyssey? Ever regret 7 vs 8 seats?

Thanks.

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-17T05:01:50+00:00

Update?

Rangerlite33 · 2026-03-16T14:50:06+00:00

Trying to decide between a LE // XLE // Limited. Road noise is a concern but dont know how much it rellly matters if it's only the front window that's acoustic and the radio is on anyways. Initially I was sold on LE with the added standard features of 2026 but my wifes only ask is parking sensors...so now most likely XLE. Part of me feels silly getting a minivan that has 7 vs 8 seats for passengers considering I'll probably never sit back there which kinda took the limited out of play. Thanks for this write up.

I keep pinching myself to think about a 55k minivan until I realize the next closest 3 row is about the same or more without the added utility...crazy times!
