What kind of stereo systems do you guys have in your garages? That's my next move so any feedback on what kind of systems you guys have would be great! Thanks!
 
A 600W car amp, a 5-disc cd changer, and some infinity bookshelf speakers. It doesn't need to be pretty; it's the garage. :)

PC to a ancient Sony reciever pushing BOSE direct reflecting speakers.
 
I use a 500watt Sony, with Sony bass reflex speakers and a 3CD disc changer, although I hook the mp3 player to it most of the time.

Used to have old Panasonic AM/FM Stereo on high shelf in detached shop with the old original speakers mounted high on walls. When I drywalled the walls and lid in shop and and put in recessed can lights I also put in (2) 12" ribbon speakers in lid and wired them to the whole house audio system in house. Also put analog volume control close to main light swithches in shop. Had 2 zones left on audio switch gear for house, so I used one of them. My remote control system is RF, so I can be anywhere on property and and change radio channels and CD's in changer in house from this locaton. System is room specific for lack of better description, so I can listen to what I want to in each zone without changing music being played in other zones. I also wired in (2) RJ45 jacks and (2) coax jacks for internet and TV. I was able to do this even though the detached shop is about 50' away from house because when I remodeled the house 2 years prior and tore up the backyard to landscape I trenched and placed not only new conduit for future electric upgrade for shop but added extra conduits in joint trench for data, audio, and video.

Oh nice. That's a pretty nice setup. :) I'm planning to set one up for my garage! :D
 
i have an old stero, i think is about 400w. I've had that since i was 18...lol now 39, so i think it old..lol ..I will be changing it someday now that i have the satelite dish on the tv in the garage, i think i'll be putting in a surround sound, it will be good for when we watch the MMA fights..
 
I just turn on Last.fm from my phone, or shuffle all the songs on my phone (8gb SD card)... when I want it louder, I'll bring out my Computer speakers to plug into my phone... I dont really need anything more than that...
 
That is a great question.

Every garage needs some good car tunes in her.

I currently have a 70's GE FM/AM Cassette Tape player that I had bought years ago for my dad. He loved to take it with him on the road and he enjoyed a number of old big band tapes he had. I know it was one present I got for him that he enjoyed for many years. It still reminds me of a simpler time before cell phones and e mail.

I do have in my garage plans to build a rack for a Marrantz stereo receiver along with a tape, a VCR and a DVD/CD player. I have a 20" sony TV and it all needs a place as home.

Any suggestions or pictures would be welcomed.

similar to my setup. I use itunes and download all my mp3's and use online radio sometimes.

I also have my tv which has a dvd player built into the workbench. it is positioned where it is because it is the best spot from where my "lounge is" next to the fridge and microwave.

For the last several years I've had an old portable stero taking up valuable real estate on my bench. Tomorrow I'm going to start setting up a car stereo as a sound system that will be mounted under a shelf or between two wall studs.
 
^ Yep, I admit, that one has me beat! When I rebuilt my garage last December, I tapped into my main stereo system in the living room with an A/B switch, so the music can be piped into the garage, the house, or the back yard, or together if needed.

Remember the scene in "Back to the Future" where Michael J Fox strums the electric guitar? OH YEAH! ALRIGHT!

Or in the remake of "The Italian Job" where the guy's stereo rips the clothes off the chick? OH YEAH! ALRIGHT!

Thanks GzrGlide,

Just finished this last night. I nneded to get some counterspace back.

Sony deck with CD player and Aux in, mounted on a minishelf out of the way. Deck is powered by a modified computer 12V power supply ( hidden behind white bord ).

All wiring tucked into looms and held in place with cable clamps.....

A set of really old 6x9s in enclosures hung from rafters.

The sound is decent enough and I got to reclaim my counter space. Gave the really old boom box to my son ( I may regret that ).
 
That is very impressive! Not for the stereo, but conquering 290,000 miles on your jeep! :p
