It's portable? It's portable! :-)

No matter how many times I see it it always amazes me how he can carry this thing I would be in traction anymore trying to carry this Beast around I mean anything has to weight 60 or 70 lb at least. Mind you this thing probably has 20 D cell batteries in it. Honestly that's exactly the kind of Boombox I always wish I could build. My back is so f***** up anymore there's no way I can even move it.

RR its a bit fake :) so don't be disappointed. It's just two PC-5's between two rb-95k speakers. There is no rack, so no way to carry it around. If I ever find the PC-CD5 cd player, for sure I have to make a custom rack to make it a portable boombox! There is an useless extra amplifier in between now. The rb-95k speakers are really recommended for the PC-5 btw. It sounds fantastic. HK-9000 power with M90 sound quality!!:bow:

Edit: the CD player seems to be a custom build says the guy on youtube! Wow so cool!!! :bow:

For sure the speakers are there! I've seen them for sale before and they went cheap because most speaker buyers aren't into boomboxes and have no idea what they are for :yes: Just keep your eyes open bro:-D

How about getting the guts out of that extra amplifier and fill it with li-ion cells to feed the beast!

Cool you still have the M90 box with the trims! Actually they are the only ones I ever made! :beer2: Sad to hear about your hands :sad: I'm pretty sure I'm also to weak to carry around such a beast. Can't hardly handle a normal PC-5 for a very short distance now :blush:

I don't think the speakers need foaming btw. The woofers pumps like the small version and still have the original surrounds. It's hard to see, but I think they used rubber.

Much like Dell used to make a portable 20 inch "laptop" (the one on Iron man's desks in the 1St Iron man, which doesn't make us any younger)...

Would rather call it's trans-portable lol

Hell this is a great looking beast! Makes one wonna see what's possible with the pc5 parts just lying around in boxes (great devices, excellent even with the right high end speakers in them). No idea how he hooked everything up... Getting 2 pc5 decks to work on 1 pc5.. Done that.. But getting 2 decks + CD player + whatever that 5th element is to work together... Is amazing by itself.

But I d add a metal bar in that handle, the square tube already in it seems to have some trouble.
