It is a crowd pleaser. Took mine over to a buddy's house and blasted it while I has installing a heater core in his truck outside in the driveway. Anyone who has done that knows what a PTA that is. I knew with my tunes it would make the job go by easier...and it did.Lasonic TRC-920 said:Me too!
to make it simple....this thing is the destroyer of worlds!
While I was working on the truck the UPS man showed at his house to drop off something they'd ordered. You know what a rush those guys are in every day. He came over to take a peek at it and couldn't believe his eyes...lol
oh and by the way. your signature below your posts couldn't be better suited for another box. you now have the Loudest one on the planet...or at least us bumpboxx guys do...lol
Looks like DiamondBoxx are about to regain the 'Loudest Box' award:

This thing is a monster! There is no other way around it. For years I have watched threads come and go asking "When will a company build a big loud radio?". Well here it is!Transistorized said:
I have been speaking with Ron Owens, owner of Bumpboxx and he has some serious plans coming, including 4 new radio's next year. One is an 8" speaker version that uses the same amp and he says it's 95% the same volume as the Freestyle. Many more details coming soon.
I was reading up on this thing last night. I wouldn't call it a "Boombox" in the traditional sense. I think they are going after the PUBLIC ADDRESS market.jimmyjimmy19702010 said:Looks like DiamondBoxx are about to regain the 'Loudest Box' award:

The interesting thing about the Diamondboxx XL is, it has an accelerometer in it, tied into a computer that senses whether is it sitting upright or laying on it's side. If you roll it over to the left, it automatically becomes the left channel. If you have two wirelessly tied together, lean the other one on it's right side and it's the right side channel. In the upright position, it automatically reconfigures the speaker layout as stated below:
Left line array mode - Unit is powered up while oriented vertically with the tweeter stack on the left. All 12 amplifier channels operate driving 14 drivers at a total power of 960 Watts in a 2-way design (woofers and tweeters) with ALL left channel information, automatically. Intended for a pair for L and R. Two or more units can be linked together on each side (stack of lefts, stack of rights) for a true concert level system on battery power.
Right line array mode - Unit is powered up while oriented vertically with the tweeter stack on the right. All 12 amplifier channels operate driving 14 drivers at a total power of 960 Watts in a 2-way design (woofers and tweeters) with ALL right channel information, automatically. Intended for a pair for L and R. Two or more units can be linked together on each side (stack of lefts, stack of rights) for a true concert level system on battery power.
SQ Stereo mode – Unit is powered up while oriented like a boombox. 8 amplifier channels operate with a total power of 640 Watts in a 3-way design. 2 Outer tweeters on each side operate as left and right stereo, one midbass on each side operate as left and right midbass – this gives the widest stereo image possible. The remaining 4 woofers operate mono as one big subwoofer, and the remaining 4 tweeters are muted. This mode gives great sound quality and longer battery life, at the expense of maximum volume. (still louder than a Model L in this mode)
Other hidden modes can be accessed manually to put the speaker in any of it 6 possible modes. This is done by a combination of button presses on the mode button. The mode selected is displayed via the VU meter LEDs and the mode button LED.
- All Left channel, SPL mode
- All Left channel, SQ mode (sound quality)
- All right channel SPL mode
- All right channel SQ mode
- Stereo SQ mode
- Stereo Max SPL mode -- All 12 amplifier channels operate with a total power of 960 Watts on all 14 drivers in a 2-way design. 4 tweeters on each side operate as left and right stereo, three woofers on each side operate as left and right woofers. This mode still gives great sound quality along with maximum volume.

Ok people keep asking me about my #BumpBoxx Cassette tape mod. THIS IS WHAT I DID . It's not an App! I took videos of Cassette tapes rolling and converted them in too very, very long HD movie files. you can find these videos on youtube.
Just like this one below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7To_S3Ne_yo
But i had to edit them to take out links and ads. Then transferred them on to a tablet. I then attached the tablet with industrial velcro. #EaZyDoesIt PS I did this 6 years ago with v.2 red bluetooth boombox. But I used my iPhone
Oh and I just painted my grills with some boom in ya face white!
I'm planning on doing more, Having the USB charger on the front gives me so many ideas.
Stay Tuned, Tuned in and Turned up .

Green Freestyle Bumpboxx is on the way.
I would pass on 99% of the new style boxes simply because they don't look or sound right for the outrageous prices.
With the help of the members of this group, you bring new light into these 'sight unseen/unheard' purchases and I feel confident that I am getting what a true enthusiast has described on the forum.
I was hesitant to get the DJ Tech and seriously almost missed that one for good. I feel like the Bumpboxx might be around for awhile, but with summer on its way I better get one now while there is a decent discount and availability.
Any of you local monkies want to hear either of these before you buy, come on over!
There are distinct things I don't like about the bumpboxx and will be modding this almost as quick as shipping will be. This will be fun.

I'd be very interested in your opinion of this box Joe. Sound quality means more to me than 'sheer loudness' but if the sound quality is 'good enough', it would be a great box.blu_fuz said:
I wonder how it would compare with my DIY V5.1 that's under construction. This will be my first 24 volt box and first bass reflex box that will be running a 100 watts RMS x 2 stereo D class amp with cooling fan and comp spec (ultra sensitive) brand name drivers and tweeters?!
Any Aussie members bought a Bumpboxx yet?

I would either replace the horns with real grills, or just paint them silver so that you can see how they penetrate into the box and fade into darkness.
Plans right now are to get those ugly woofer grills off and put on 2 piece hidden fastener grills. Some kind of round grill update for the horns. I will be welding/powder coating a flip down door for the front pocket that has the silhouette of a cassette reel cut out with frosted plexi on the back side and back light to light up the cassette image. Also a solid steel handle with rolled corners.

You could get some chrome decals from Eric, in the shape of a thin strip, and put several of them in the horns so that they go deep into the horn and provide a 3-dimensional look to it.
Another idea would be to add 3 or 4 horizontal chrome bars across the center of the horn, kind of like the "brush guards" people put over their truck's headlights. That would make it more obvious that the horn is in fact a tweeter and not just a big black blob.
Hell you could use this potato masher. Just remove the handle, obviously

You can also look on eBay for some old-school home speaker trim rings and grills and all that stuff I appreciate horn tweeters but I don't like the ones on this box if anything I'd look for some old school big ass Square badass horn tweeters, the woofers I guess they're okay long as they sound good that's what counts you can always make them look better. I also think a cool set of crash bars with balance out the look of the unit I also think these things look like a giant suitcase so any kind of design elements that add to the overall look of the box would help don't get me wrong I think it's a badass concept.
