And the work still goes on! 
Wanted some crash bars for the speakers.
So got some steel and formed it:
some work for mounting....
ready! tomorrow i will mount them. :sin:

IMHO, but this box is not great at all;]. Butt pretty good for making something from it! ;]. Cool idea with those bars, Roman..
This box will never be a grail, i know.
But a very good basis to make some nice modifications.
Or would you make some holes in a grail?
mounting
done
Hm, think i need some discolites on it...
Will part out a broken VIRA boombox soon, adding the lights on this one.

And the next unit is still waiting for modification.
A PHILIPS-CHEAPY!!

now the work goes on
got some LEDs with chrome caps and some yellow supra LEDs
open the box again and part the front
making 4 holes in the bottom for the chrome LEDs
here comes a discolite
soldering the supra LEDs
away with the mics.
No need for them
Implant the supra LEDs and connect to the speakers
first test
like when KITT is speaking
togehter again
Now i must built the discolite generator :super:

Wow! I love the way how you exaggerate almost everything on this originally quite dull boombox. I have a question on LEDs. Which one did you use? And it's possible just to solder them to speaker pins (without any resistors and so on)? And how do they behave when the box makes some boom?
Great approach, really!

Hi Stepaan
As you can see i simply soldered it to the speaker pins.
Some old discolite boxes (the cheap ones) also did so.
I used some supra-LEDs (extra bright ones,avaiable in different colors and sizes).
You must also look about the voltage range, there exist some different versions.
Flashing begins at medium volume.
For prevend blowing the LEDs (if you like it very loud), you can add a small resistor.
Thanx!!! I've been working on my first project for some time now and every clever advice helps me a lot!
Hope you show us something about your project!
btw: after all the time, i need to finish the PHILIPS...
