I bought a $30 radio a $10 antenna and a pair of $30 speakers from wally world. My radio has been floating around unmounted in the glove box for three years with out a problem. The antenna is in the glove box as well and comes in fine. I didn't want to bastardize my 6 volt system so I wired the cigar lighter and the radio to a solar panel on my tool box. People have asked if my truck is solar powered.
