so far ive found :

[brian84corvette]

the top two boxes came from flea markets.

the magnavox has non functioning tape deck wheels - so it eats the tape / but plays aux / radio good enough.
the sanyo m9880ka is from 83 and fully functional as far as I can tell. super cool box sounds good too.

and the bottom / silly large bring a dolley box is home made by me from a pair of large house cabnet speakers robbed for the 12"s / sealed back mids / and tweets / n crossovers are used internaly. powered by a agm leak proof motorcycle size battery and a 2 channel car stereo amp with I pod chord hooked up coming out the top. up top are positive and negative charge posts to use car battery charger on - and has a on off switch that cuts out the negative.
so
its fully self powered - and portable as long as you have a skateboard or dolley to put it on. lol cause its a heavy mo.
loud as all get out. could party at the beach and cause quite a rucus. or bring the noize poliece a runnin.


I try to get out on the weekends to score boxes in the wild I guess is how its termed - im looking in good will stores / thrift stores ( also great places to find casette tapes and vynal records ) yard sales and flea markets. its a good reason to get up out of the house and go hunting. walk around and exercize - if you find something - great - if not at least you got up and out of the house ya know ?


feel free to post up any pix of your scores in this thread or point out any info on my sanyo / magnavox boxes for me thanks !

I think you just gave redbenjoe an idea for his next beach monster and I'm sure JVC Floyd can appreciate the size of it too.

thanks for the replys guys.
beleive it or not - I got the house speaker pair out of the trash on bulk trash day pickup.
they were fully functional as is - but I guess the owner moved out or upgraded or ?
who knows - but since they were free to me - I decided no harm in using them to make the
portable boom box posted above.

also - I have not played it until it has been so low on battery power it turned off.

the car amp suposedly goes in to protect mode in any voltage under 10v.
fully charged and resting - the Kenetik "800" size sealed agm battery rests at 13.3 volts

I have had it running at a good volume for over 4 hours so far - and it played it flawlesly
and was still jucy and punchy. so who knows how long the battery would last on this beast.
maby upwards of 6 or more hours realley cranking it out. the coolest part is that its rechargable
so the amount of times you get to play this off of its own power is directly related to how often you
feel like throwing it on the float charger in the garage to keep the battery maintained.
theoreticly you might get 300 to 900 uses of it playing for a fiew hours at good volume
before the battery needs replacing.... seems alot more economical than buying a bunch of d batterys
to me at least.... and kinda cool - cause I happend to have that battery laying about the garage left over
from my last extreme car audio build up / rebuild I did

you GOTS to fit a cassette deck or iPad to that mofo.

the middle section between the speakers is screaming out for it

maybe a double scale GF 9191 could be your muse . . . . .
