Eco Extreme Review

I bought these speakers to be able to listen to my jams.

I had to return the orginal because it started leaking, and my second one suffers from the same problem.


It has this knob to turn it on and raise the volume, it gets salt and sand in there and honestly a piece of crap.

and my second one started leaking again, the gasket just does not seal well for kayak/frank use..

Ruined my damn i pod .




quality of sound good enough to enjoy .

I picked up the ecopebble and the ecostone. Pebble is small takes up little space on kayak ,Stone has a mini sub-woofer . Both have great sound. One thing I like about them is the built in mic for phone calls. Easy to mount on PA.

I got an ecostone as a Xmas present last year (bought at Costco) and it is a great speaker. Rugged, good battery life and fully waterproof.

I Have a little Eco-Rox which it a smaller version of the EcoStone but bigger that the EcoPebble it comes with a suction cup mount and a 1/4'' screw attachment that I use to attach it to a ram ball mount. It works great I haven't had any issues. If you do have issue the warranty repair place for Grace Digital is in Poway, just off Carrol Canyon Rd and near Scripps Ranch.

I was just at caramel mountain Costco here in San Diego and they have the eco pebble for $39 and the eco stone for $89. I bought both, one for the PA and one for the toy hauler. Aisle 10 at Carmel mountain ranch Costco. If anyone lives in the area.

Hopefully this helps some one and if you need some more pictures close up let me know:


I believe it was a 3/4" sprinkler riser. Outside diameter of your sail post will be close to 15/16" of an inch. The riser had threads on it and was little too big to fit the sail post. So I took a 1" paddle bit, honed out the sail post and hammered the sprinkler riser in. Riser had threads on both ends. Bought a cap for the riser as well, drilled a hole for a bolt I found that screwed into the ecostone. 1/4-20 course thread. And put the bolt threw the cap of the riser, with two nuts to lock it in place. Screw the whole sprinkler cap on with bolt protruding out, and screwed speaker on. I also put pvc glue on the riser before I put it in the sail post. And lock tight on the two nuts for the bolt.

I used 1/2" sch40 pipe for the insert then put a piece 1" sch40 pipe over that from the top of the sail mast up 3". Use 20mil pvc tape to make it fit snug.Then a end cap with a screw threaded thru. The 1 " pipe ads stability and just looks better! Then prayed it with a rubber coating. Works like a charm.
