My dad is planning to take my old stock mustang radio and convert it to a on-the-job-site radio.. heres our plans:

Power: all you need is 12v DC.. you can buy a 120V AC --> 12V DC converter at radioshack, or a bunch of C cells if you want it battery powered. Obviously youll need to make sure your converter can withstand a pretty decent current draw, especialy if you plan to power your speakers via a built in amp.

Just plug in the power supply to the 12V power in and grounds on your cd player.

Youll need the same setup for an amp if you plan to get one, with special precautions going to watching the current.


Obviously this isnt a very sturdy setup, your not going to want to run 1200watts of bass through a cheapo converter.. but if all you want is sound, you can do it pretty cheap.

But after tallying all that up, it might be cheaper to just buy a boom box:
