Its compatibility with the Bosch L-Boxx-2 Click & Go™ storage and organization system makes storage and transport of the radio quick and easy while its rugged, shock-absorbing roll cage enhances durability.
The PB180’s two, 5-watt neodymium speakers can deliver hours of maximum sound clarity and quality.
