Hi all, I'm Drew, new here and don't know much about audio, but I know what I like. I work at a Case construction equipment dealership as a service technician. Obviously there's tons of ambient noise (like standing between 2 running semi trucks on average). I've got a toolbox with a 30" tall hutch that I could mount speakers underneath or on top of. I would prefer to mount underneath because it's a pain in the ass to drill through stainless steel. Obviously outdoor speakers are going to be my best bet unless anyone knows of speakers designed specifically for dirty, dusty, greasy environments. I will also need an amplifier/receiver/whatever it's called. Here's the challenge though, I want to mount that within the riser leg to keep it safe and clean. Size is the biggest issue with that. I'll have accurate measurements later today, but I think it's something like 4" wide, 7" deep, and 30" tall, but that space is shared with outlets as well. If it isn't possible, I could mount it above or below the riser.
As far as a budget goes, I guess I'd like to keep it around $1000 or so. Anybody have any good advice on this?
I'll post pics of my toolboxes later to give an idea of what I'm working with.
