The weights are without batteries unless otherwise stated. For reference, 6 Duracell D batteries = 1.8 lbs, 8 = 2.4 lbs, and 10 = 3 lbs.

The power output is official manufacturer data. I have combined both channels -- So if it says 10W, it means 5W per channel. Wattage can be given 3 different ways: RMS (the most conservative), MPO (music power which is less conservative), and PMPO (peak music power which is basically bullcrap). Keep in mind there's a lot they don't tell you. Like, were they running AC or DC when they tested it? What sound frequency were they using? What level of distortion were they willing to accept? So in my opinion, you should only compare data from the same manufacturer, because they probably used the same testing methodology across all their models. But who knows for sure? Anyway, here goes:

Would be good to put stuff like this in a searchable database.
What happened to Jen's boombox database? I sent him a PM on the other board a few months ago, asking if he still had any copies.....He never responded.
