dp100 and dp200 are the best out of all the kabooms but i agree there fugly as hell so hence my 2 are gone, the kaboom you have blue fuz is just a toy sorry to say
Joe, to put this into perspective, I think this model has TWO speakers. When I look at the service manual, I don't see any subwoofers, or subwoofer circuitry, or subwoofer amplifier, nor subwoofer drivers like there are on the full size kabooms.blu_fuz said:
According to 550 instructions manual, it puts out 13w + 13w (max)
Consumes 27w powered on, 3w in standby mode (off)
============
In general, the large kabooms have FOUR drivers. Two smaller front facing ones, and two side facing subwoofers with bass ports. If you look at the reverse of the big woofers, you'll see the snaking duct system that is part of the bass ports. They blow like a hair dryer when they are pumping. No kidding!
According to the instructions manual for the DP-200k, it puts out 10w + 10w (for the front facing speakers) AND 20w + 20w (for the subwoofers).
Consumes 45watts powered on, 2w in standby mode (off). These specs are pretty much the same for ALL of the larger kabooms (RV-series) with the CD/Cassette combination. The large but newer digital ones (ipod/iphone dock ones) are different. They have completely different innards, small power supply, different circuitry boards and different amplifiers than the legacy ones. I recommend the legacy ones over the newer ones as I feel they are far better built.
Hope that gives you some perspective. Bottom line, small kaboom = 26w max, big kaboom = 60w max and the benefit of SUBWOOFERS!
Most folks who have never owned a good working kaboom has no clue how powerful they are. Get one is all I can say, you'll be impressed. BTW, even that backpack kaboom is nothing to sneeze at. We poke fun at it all the time because it's so "fun" or not-serious looking, but it's definitely no toy. In fact, it sounds darn good and blows away many boomboxes. The only thing I personally don't like about that model is that the AC power supply is not built in (probably to keep weight off of back and for portability reasons) so it does require a special huge brick of AC adapter when AC powered. It's not well known so it would be the perfect "sleeper" model (great sound at great price) if it weren't for the fact that it is so very very rare!
you are correct superdper as i stripped mine for parts and it just has 2 front firing woofers, although those woofers are bigger than ones found on the nb1 and dp200
That's the truth!Superduper said:
When I brought my B90 to Styleking's house a couple years ago, we set it on the kitchen table, turned it up, and it started blowing around the napkins.
