Hi everyone!We need ideas/advice/expertise for Pride music.  Can you help?We will have a 16 foot flatbed truck in the parade.  It does not have a CD player or hookup for mp3 player.  What can we do?  We need music!

I would appreciate any ideas.  Thank you!AlexVEGGIE PRIDE 09!!  http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.htm?EID=2134#2134

Hi Alex,Powering the iPod using the power port in the truck will be no problem. The required cable is cheap and readily available.You can connect the iPod to any powered speakers with a standard jack. The only trick will be finding speakers that can be powered from a vehicle power port. They are available, but the cable may be a separate purchase. As an alternative, you could use speakers that run on AC power with an inverter plugged into the truck's power port.One other thing to consider is that if the truck has only one power port, you'll need to get an adapter to allow you to power two devices (the iPod and the speakers) at the same time.Let me know if you need more specific information.WayneSent from my iPhoneOn Jun 22, 2009, at 1:36 PM, Alex Bury <alexbury1 wrote:
