Outside Stereo
For years, I've dreaded having to go inside to turn on the radio for the outside speakers. The channel selector on our soundbar isn't the easiest to figure out and once it was playing where we wanted, it was back to the 'Can you hear it?' and 'Is it too loud?' game trying to get the volume at a good level. While poking around behind a blank panel at the outdoor entertainment area, I found the 12v lead for our sound bar and outside speaker wires sitting right there. Decided it was time to order a cheap marine stereo and fix the problem. I also added the USB charger because you just can't have enough places to charge your phone.
I also added in waterproof push button switches and inline fuses to cut power to the USB outlet and the other switch manages power to the switched lead on the stereo. Super easy project and can't understand why it's not a standard on our rigs.
