Portable Speakers?

Hi. Are there any decent portable bluetooth speakers out there that you could reasonably use to replace the system in a Jimny? As in loud and clear enough and possibly linkable in pairs to overcome the general noise of driving ? I'm thinking of doing away with the built in firstly because of theft issues and secondly it is all less weight.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a Bose soundlink mini and cannot fault it

Ooh I didn't know they did such a thing. Looking now. Thank you!

Mechless one in the glove box it will way less than the two portable. So you want to try and mount two portable Bluetooth speakers somewhere in your Jimny every time you get in and go somewhere? I personally don't think there is any benifit to this.

There's no doubt that Bose speakers are very very good, but they are pricey.

As I do a lot of travelling to far away places ending up in hotels with foreign yukspeak TV, I have an iPhone with huge memory containing my entire record collection and my own travel speaker, a Anker Soundcore which I think would be loud enough however compare it to the Souncore 2 as that might be a newer model.
I also have a Soundcore Mini which I use while say, working long jobs in the hangar in a freight bay or inside the cabin. That too is fantastic - I can hang it on my belt, but it might not produce the volume you might need in a car.
I've owned these for about four years and they get a hard life while I'm travelling, bashed around in bags etc and they've stood up to it well.
There are plenty of reviews on YouTube comparing Bose v Anker Soundcore - This is just one of many .
I chose the Anker because the price was so low and the performance difference so relatively little. I felt if I was going to lose or get it broken I would be more upset if I lost or smashed the expensive Bose.

As an aside, while onboard the jet and travelling I chose THESE over the Bose Quiet Comforts and I'm very pleased.

Bear in mind if you play music via bluetooth, stored on your phone, there are apps that you can use as 'graphic sound equalizers' to adjust the bass/mid-range/treble - I use one called EQ10

EDIT:
I for got to mention this - you can link two Soundcore Minis together - I've never done it but I know it can be done - they're designed to do it - worth thinking about for a vehicle - also battery life on those little grenade-sized speakers lasts all day and longer, and I work 12 hour shifts! Sound quality is important to me and they are quite amazing.
To date, the only thing I've heard that's similar size and might be marginally better sound is the JBL Clip (a pill-shaped thing) but I think the battery roughly lasts half the time. (one of the lads at work had one, and I was impressed)

I use my phone as my preferred source and really the hu is only there as an interface to amplify the signal. I always remove the fascia from it but not having one is better still. Also from what is being said one portable should be sufficiently loud and I can be used outside at work too without the need to flatten the car battery.

It's not just the hu there's the drivers, enclosures and wires that all count for the weight saving. That could be like 10kg all done!
