as for most any 3 piece box --
i use the 1 inch clear strapping tape on the back and bottom :-)

why do say that?

to protect it from scratches???
--------------------------------------------------

no --the strapping tape is extremely strong -
and most of the 3 piece box latches do not give me much
confidence in their safety --
so the tape is the sure security to hold the speakers in place

Best walkaround boxes are, IMHO:

Sanyo M9990
JVC M70
Sharp GF-9191 or GF-9292

Of these, the M70 is the heaviest and loudest. The Sanyo has the best overall sound quality, and the Sharp looks the best, sounds good and goes plenty loud. I think it's the lightest of that bunch too... When I was 14, I would carry my 9292 loaded up with D-cells all day.

...I would add the M9994 to that list. It only take 8 batteries and its louder and sounds better than the M9990...and the batteries last forever!!

Glad I found this thread because I wanted to comment on the portability of the 3 big common boxes; M90, 777, and C100......


ALL OF THOSE ARE TOO HEAVY TO WALK MORE THAN 6 BLOCKS WITH!!!!!



I'm not kidding, I gave each one a shot and took them out on the streets for a walk to our wednesday night pool gathering. By the end of the 1st block I am already switching hands to relieve the one that I was just carrying from. Another thing that makes these no good for carry boxes besides the WEIGHT and SIZE is the fact that the AUX/LINE in jacks are directly where you leg is. You have to hold the boombox out away from your side a little so the cables don't take any abuse and possibly damaging the actual jacks or board in the boombox.

Portable, yeah. Carry-able, hell no :nonono: !



If you can get a boomer with front or side aux jacks, that would be even better if you have the MP3 player hooked up.

I would recommend the Crown CSC-850L. It is bigger than a traditional midsize, because of its 8-inch woofers, but it only weighs 14.4 lbs (6.5 kg) without batteries. That's the same as an Aiwa TPR-950, but the Crown is a bit louder and looks better. Plus it has those cool shoulder strap loops for easy carrying.

Or if you want something even lighter, you could go for a GE 3-6035A which is only 12 lbs (5.4 kg), but plenty loud.

Haha! Nice work Joe!

I just read my post earlier on in this thread and these days I DO carry my C100, 777, etc to work regularly.
But you found the way to do it Joe, you MUST swap hands every block.

A better option for when you're carrying and want to use an external source is to use n FM transmittter.



Rock On.

My daughter Alyssa says the radio's you asked about are ok to chill with. "Not too heavy" she says about your choices. :hmmm:

But she says the CONION C-126F is a better choice because it's a lot lighter to deal with.

But she liked the GE 3-5259A for it's portability and sound.
