Would this be loud enough to strap to the front of a kayak? If not, what would you recommend?

It's not going to blast you with ultra loud sound, but it does sound good and it is loud enough to enjoy, with plenty of bass. No distortion, even at the highest volume. I used it in a canoe and the people we were with could hear it just fine in the neighboring canoe.

Hard to say. There are several types of kayaking, so the answer would not be the same. Of much more concern is the water. This is billed as water resistant, not waterproof. It's designed to get rained on and splashed, not taken swimming. If you're going white water kayaking, then it's probably not going to make you happy. Flat water kayaking will work just fine.I only have a problem with the volume when I'm riding at more than 20 mph and the wind overpowers it. Probably not an issue with kayaking.

Yes. It's loud. Boat and backyard no problem. Keep in mind when portable it takes D batteries. I plan to get rechargeables when spring comes around.

Probably not. While its loud enough to hear clearly from the other end of my apartment I would think you would need something significantly louder to hear from a greater distance outdoors.

Hi Shawn, this speaker would definitely NOT be loud enough on a motorcycle. It's loud enough to mount to a golf cart windshield, but not for a motorcycle. Hope this helps. Dan

I do not think it is really loud, so depends on how loud you want. I think it would probably work for what you want. You might need to have it on the highest setting.

There's a little bit of upward flex, but I wouldn't expect enough to meet the "V" needs you describe. You'd really have to cinch your straps down to achieve that, and it would probably deform your kayak as well.

Plenty loud. I bout this because it the loudest portable speaker of this size. I have often attached to my loud Harley for a cheap and easy sound system.

I put it facing me in mesh console pocket ( Harmony console ) and it is around level of the cockpit, so sound doesn't really travel to my fellow kayakers to annoy them but I can hear it well enough. Have 3 of these as the kids don't seem to appreciate my music playlist so have their own. I use my Zen, they use their Android phones as music sources.

Yes it will be loud enough. Good little speaker but does not have Bose Quality sound. But still very good sould for little speaker

Depends on how close you are to the other canoe and how much natural outdoor background noise you will have. Volume is ok but not great. You probably need some kind of booster or bigger radio.

Yes, it would be too loud inside. I use it outside on fake grass so I don't anchor it and it moves every other jump. but my son loves it and i don't mind pulling it back into place over and over. I could anchor it but he's only 40 lbs and I play right there with him. hope that helps

Yeah. This sound machine does pretty loud. If it is near by it should do the job.

I doubt it would be louder than your real drum sounds. It is fairly loud, but probably not that loud.

It is quite loud so I think it would fit the purpose you're thinking of using it for.

If you can figure out how to mount the unit and the transducer on a kayak there is no reason why it wouldn't. I've got it on a 10' aluminum skiff, used a small 12 volt battery - the type commonly used on lawn tractors and it works great.

I used it to inflate a pilates ball, so I don't know how well it would work for your kayak. I think it may work, and considering it's inexpensive I think it's worth a try. Good luck.

use a good quality siren unit that takes a 100 watt speaker. for the price this is a good quality speaker which makes plent of noise well worth the money
