DETAILED DISCRIPTION

[0012] The first embodiment of the ATV mobile Bluetooth stereo is the use of a custom ABS injection molded box and lid as shown in FIG. 2 to assemble the components into.

[0013] The device is assembled by first drilling holes in the front face of the custom ABS box for mounting of a power indicator LED and power toggle switch. The rear is also drilled with a hole to allow a rubber strain relief grommet to protect the wiring from chaffing.

[0014] The BT audio module is prepped by soldering appropriate speaker and power wires to the circuit board. The power switch and LED indicator are also subsequently wired to the circuit board. All components are then installed into the custom ABS box, and the box lid is secured with four micro screws.

[0015] The main component, the mini BT stereo (Dual channel 2.0) module, has a 15-30 watt output when using speakers of 4-8 ohms. The BT stereo module has an operating voltage range of 7.5-25 VDC, and a current draw of less than 2.0 amperes.
