Hi everyone, recently got bitten by the boombox bug and snatched up a vela discolite...it's pretty sweet, but now I am looking for one that has better bass response. Any suggestions?
Really cool board btw, anyone else in the Chicago area?

welcome to the board :thumbsup: the discolight is a nice box but dont expect it to be a real low thumpin bass box it was mostly designed for the looks but still would produce acceptable sound,, on those discolight make sure that the voltage switch is infact on 120volts,, i came across a few that were on 220v and it still played but not as pronounsed as it should have so give it a quick check if you are looking for something that looks like it maybe a sharp gf-777 will do... :w00t: ,,, welcome aboard..........
