Compatible with the Sirius Sportster 3, Sportster 4, Starmate 3, Starmate 4, and Stratus receivers, the boombox lets you follow the game or rock out on the patio to any of Sirius's high-quality digital streams. Simply plug your Sirius receiver into the boombox's universal docking cradle and you're set. Listeners will love the SUB-X1's rich, crisp sound, which employs two tweeters, two midrange drivers, and a powerful subwoofer to create a dynamic frequency response of 70 Hz to 20 kHz. The reception is also topnotch thanks to the included indoor/outdoor antenna, which comes with an attached 19.5-foot cable (the antenna must have a relatively clear view of the Sirius satellite paths to work). Most importantly, the boombox is fully portable, with a built-in handle for transport and a battery power option (the boombox runs for up to nine hours on eight D-cell batteries). And you needn't worry about hauling the antenna along in a separate bag, because the SUB-X1 includes a built-in compartment that stores both the antenna and cable. Other details include a 3.5 mm headphone jack for private listening, an AC adapter for indoor use, built-in bass enhancement technology, an auxiliary input for connecting an iPod, MP3 player, or other audio device, and a docking adapter that works with ST and SV series Sirius satellite tuners. The boombox, which measures 19.18 by 8.81 by 8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.3 pounds (without batteries), is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box

Customer Reviews:
- Sirius Boombox: This boombox is fantastic! It's so easy to use and the sound is incredible. We also bought an auxillary cord from Radio Shack ($6) so now we can hook up our disc man and mp3 player to it. It even comes in great up in the mountains (with a little fine-tuning of the antenna)! I would definitely recommend this product. Can't think of anything I don't like about it.
- description not helpful enough: I read over a lot of boombox descriptions looking for one for my son to use his MP3 player with. This may be a great product but it wasn't clear to me that it was ONLY for Sirius products. I am not totally up on all the technology and new gadgets but not as ignorant as some. I read the info several times and could not determine if it was strictly for a Sirius product or not. It is ONLY for Sirius.
- Satellite Boombox: I bought the Sportster 5 radio for my wife and I also wanted her to be able to use it around the house- not just in the car. This boombox looked like a good simple, plug-n-play solution. And it allows my wife to move her radio from room to room. It comes with 25 feet of cord on the antenna for convience but also wraps up neatly on the back of the boombox. The antenna thens locks into a slot on the top rear of the boombox.
We are able to get a good signal in the house without placing the antenna outside. That may depend on where we live. It seems to work better when boombox is not placed right next the window. We occasionally have to move the boombox around to get an adequate signal. But it works well and in places where I wouldn't think it could.
The sound quality is good- fm radio quality. The boombox has good frequency range and does not sound tinny.
The unit will operate on 8 D cells but I have not bought batteries yet to try that mode out.
The boombox is nicely designed and very attractive. My only dislike is the power cord. Its a little unwieldy for a portable type device. It has a computer like power cord- the adapter box with a short 120VAC wall cord and then a long low voltage wire that plugs in the back. I would have preferred the voltage conversion built into the unit so that the boombox could have had just a simple wall cord. - Sirius SUB-X1: The product is very good. I enjoy it. The only problem with Sirius radio is that the reception is not very good. It is very unstable and goes from good to poor very quickly.
- It all depends on where you try to use it! No Signal=No Music: The boombox itself is great and has worked awesome everytime I have a good signal. The problem will always be the availability of a good signal.
