I would highly recommend this cargo carrier and would buy it again. I hope he was fishing. Other brand options are the UE Boom which has better battery life and similar sound, but the X3 has more potential and higher output. For me that was a boon. My mum and dad both love them.

This thing will break any day I have a lot of spices and they were taking up valuable cabinet space in my kitchen. Durable and fashionable! I drove 1500+ miles with this on my roof during very heavy snow.
