Hi.

Create a "sleeve" that goes over the bare empeg unit, kinda like the car sled, that when put on the unit can then be portable with normal headphone jack in the back.

Well, if weight isn't a too big issue, it should be doable. If I think about it, if I wanted to build this kind of thing, I would use these things, all perfectly available on the market (at least as of this day):

• An additional sled


• A lithium-ion battery with appropriate charger


• A phone level amplifier


• some light wood (Balsa?) or plastic casing


• Don't forget a switch to be able to turn it of

Hmm, come to think of it, why use the sled, a simple combination of two cinch connectors and a 12V plug would be enough, dropping the cost by some 10$. If you would like to be able to listen to the radio though, you would need that.

One way or the other: This project is doable.

cu,
