Have been sitting on the fence for the longest
time about buying the $99 XM Boombox.
In theory, the opportunity to bring XM to the
beach or anywhere I want is a terrific convenience.
Problem is, I have read too many negative opinions
about the sound quality of the boombox. Supposidly,
you don't get much volume out of the unit for outside
use, and the more you crank up the volume the more
distorted the sound becomes.
I'm not looking to play the radio for the entire
block, but I would like to have volume that's loud
enough to be heard while washing my car or even
for an outdoor party.
If worse comes to worse I can just plug my Delphi
SkyFi unit into the aux inputs of one of the powerful
boomboxes I already own.
