Thanks ralrein1, I have a long way to go, but I am searching for parts, making purchases and gearing up.ralrein1 said:Enjoyed your video on the teardown Chris,also dug the vintage Scorps!Looking forward to more vids.Keep up the good work.
I have been using speakers from a company called Tang Band out of China. The build quality is really good, their subwoofer hit REALLY hard and I've been looking at 4" these mid drivers
As I sit back and look at people projects, sometimes I think that they are going overboard. Massive speakers with magnets that match the cone size, 150 watt amps. I went down that path with the Louder Blaster project. But this time around I want to keep it more realistic.
First, it has to run on batteries, second it has to be able to be carried. I don't want it weighing 50 pounds.
This radio was 3-5 watts from the factory. Radio's that are 12w-15w are solid in the boombox world and 30 watt boxes are the top of the field.
So, with that said, I'm looking for quality speakers, but not necessarily speakers with HUGE magnets and small efficient amps
