How about Kickers? I know a few truckers use them when they get stuck in the
boonies. Sure they are illegal but are they worth having for a real emergency?
I know they can overpower several channels over a huge area. I talked with a
Trucker who had a 300 watt Kicker in his rig and he had it as he was at Cape
Cod a lot and no one for miles.
