This thing Rocks. The best boom box you ever owned.
Great for in-door and out-door. I’m taking it with me everywhere and for 1 year have not been disappointed yet.
It sounds the best when you plug it in (outlet, converter or generator), but even with batteries it has plenty of juice for reasonable amount of time (don’t forget that it has 2 amps that are hungry as hell)
I would definitely recommend this toy for a big boy. It is not light, not small, therefore it is not quiet. If you need some good sound on your camp ground – take this. Just do not forget that rangers do not like it :-)
iPhone connection is awesome !!! Manipulates and charges iPod wile it is connected.
You will not regret!

Kaboom is an apt description of this box.It has great power and sounds clear and balanced. The seperate bass amp and speakers really add to the sound of this great piece of equipment. I use this to teach an exercise class. It gives me the power I need and the portability. The remote control is also a great feature. I can increase or lower the sound or change tracks from across the room. It is heavy though easy to carry with the handles on the ends. This is the ultimate in boom boxes.

finally aux and ipod connections easily accessible in front of a machine. a fabulous super-sensitive remote, with all the machine controls, and the ability to manage your ipod from the couch, with blasting crisp sound. a really good buy. [...] great product.

I've been looking for the longest time for a portable boombox with a mic input. This box fits the bill great, so an instructor can play her music and use a handheld or wireless mic with this unit. The radio is also quite loud enough for the whole class to hear in a large room. Music quality is good. Cool extras like the carry strap and small pouch that holds it's remote and AC cable and/or Ipod. Haven't tried the Ipod hookup yet but the cable is an official charging cable, not just the small mini jack that fits in the headset output. I've always liked JVC.

This is my third version of this boom box and I LOVE IT. I use these boom boxes on the (construction) jobsite and they do a pretty good job of dealing with the abuse. Absolutely mind-blowing sound for a boom box, people always seem surprised by it. Thank goodness for the iPod interface! A+

This is an incredible product. I've shopped this and most electronics brands, even Sony, have stopped making large powerfull "Boom Boxes". JVC comes through. Great sound on-the-go anywhere with powerful subwoofer. I set the sub at half setting, otherwise too muddy and unatural sounding. Personal preference. Great feature to connect an iPod and control the iPod with the supplied remote control. Like the previous reviewer mentioned, get the Vehicle Battery Adaptor from JVC online, part # CA-R150. One reviewer complained of short battery life. Try this. Instead of "stuffing" this thing with D cell batteries, buy a small motorcycle or garden tractor battery with a battery tender charger. Then go to an auto parts store and buy the adaptor with small "jumper cable clips" to an aux lighter plug. Plug in your DC power wire and enjoy; lasts much longer than D cells. Sure, it's a little big and heavy but you can't get this great sound from something that's "small and light". Crank-it and enjoy the party.

I use this for work and play. Sound would have to be my 1st favorite thing, then the ipod connection is awsome. the only thing thats kind of a bummer is the ipod cord is easy to yank- out.

This boom box is great. Connect the ipod and everyone can hear what your listening to, even down the street.

This stereo has great sound for a portable box system. It is a bit large, but for the sound produced, it is worth it. It has delivered everything I had expected it would. Can't wait to take this on my elk hunting week with the boys. I am afraid it will run all the elk away though ;o)
from Union City, CA on 6/7/2007
Excellent quality and features. Easy to use Powerfull! Lots of input ports and can be powered from cigarette lighter plug. Order CA-R150 12V adapter cord from JVC Accessories Dept. on line. Plays mp3 CDs, CDRs and CD-RWs as well as store bought CDs. The white colored model is [$] cheaper than the black model, but i bought the black one anyway. Figured might as well be satisfied! [...]
