SIRIUS-ready JBL MR18
Introducing the SIRIUS-ready JBL MR18 Marine Satellite Radio Receiver from Prospect Electronics. The 180-watt AM/FM/CD/SIRIUS-ready receiver features JBL's Electronic Shock Protection - which spins the CD faster and builds up a buffer - allowing for music to play cleanly even in choppy waters.

The JBL MR18, which runs for just under $300, features a waterproof flip-down face along with a slew of other neato features. In order to receive SIRIUS, you need the JBL SIR2.5 Sirius Satellite receiver.
