I apologize for reviving an old post, but since I have bought the sharp there have been 2 bloody years of frustration.. has anyone here made the AUX input sound as good as CD/USB/IPOD quality? As in, the people down at Sharp factory DELIBERATELY limited the power for the Sharp Boombox. Why? I have tried BT adapters to 30 pin, 30 pin cables to jack, and all sorts of things... anyone got an idea whether is there a solution for this? I hate being bound to an ipod that I continously need to sync or reach to. Or should I try adding an aux cable inside the boombox, as in, solder to the cd player?

Curious to know how the Bumpboxx would compare. While playing inside my house in the living room you can go outside and my house windows are buzzing...lol

You could turn all those boxes on at the same time and the Bumpboxx still kills them.Reli said:

Maybe not more louder, but same sound class (and in Stereo) I could try (and many members here could as well).jimmyjimmy19702010 said:I bet hardmen's diy boxes would smoke the Bumpboxx.
I'm very curious about Bumpboxx, but the shipping price, costs a used car to me...
So, I follow my path, building boxes from scrap, and belive me, they sound WAY GOOD as some of my classic 80s ones...
If I snag a Bumpboxx one day, I turn the looks of them to a level that peoples never seen or imagine before...
Cheers...

It would honestly be hard to outright smoke a Bumpboxx. I'm sure there are louder DIY boxes out there somewhere with 12's or 15's and a massive amplifier. The Bumpboxx was engineered for outdoor use and it is extremely loud and the sound travels very far. The bass kick is insane. The only box in my collection that never leaves me wanting more volume or bass...it has plenty of both.jimmyjimmy19702010 said:I bet hardmen's diy boxes would smoke the Bumpboxx.
I was wondering if you can explain the bass sound you get. I recieved mine Bumpboxx yeasterday. The LED's did not work and it had no bass sound. Am I wrong for expecting the deep bass sound of a cabin of a car out of my Bumpboxx? Or is mine defective. My BBox only sounds like the bass of an ordinary bluetooth box? Please help.mellymelsr said:It would honestly be hard to outright smoke a Bumpboxx. I'm sure there are louder DIY boxes out there somewhere with 12's or 15's and a massive amplifier.

I think the fact that your LED display isn't working is a definate sign you have a problem. The display intensitity is controlled by the volume level so if you are getting weak bass output and no LED activity, then an amp issue is likely.
This is a known issue with the BumpBoxx amps so it's time to make a claim.

There are 2 volume controls on the Bumpboxx. The main digital volume control has a max of 30 and can only be adjusted with the remote. Then there is the knob volume control. These work independent of one another. For best volume results use the remote and place digital volume to 30, then turn the volume knob up and the bass will be plentiful.
