Actually a really good song to test a bassy boombox with. I love the VU meters, but if I were on the hunt for a 4-woofer box, I'd go with Sharp. Excellent-sounding, though!
 
Cranking my DIY V1.0 box built back in 2014. Pulled her off the shelf, cleaned her up, gave her a charge, finally sealed up the drivers and tweeters with foam sealing tape.

Wow, the bass is super strong now the sealed speaker cabinets are finally properly air tight: :rock:IMG_3915.JPG

Here she is cranking some Newcleus, No More Runnin'

Get those headphones on or your decent PC 2.1 speakers!!

I tried to create the same conditions for each stereo - Line in as the mammoth job of repairing the Silver's cassette deck has not yet happened

I love both of these but there is a clear winner...........

Same track - Rca inputs on the Silver, Din adapter on the Maximal coupling the Rca's to Din!!

& a really smart piece of music - the title track to one of if not the best albums of the 1970's...........This album has followed me throughout my entire teen & adult life & still stands up today, it is just magic!!

Definitely the silver! It has far better highs than the other one, which sounds very flat to me. Reminds me a little of the sound of an M9998

Two C100's jamming side by side at Venice beach. One in original condition the other a complete restore. Guess which one only cost $150?
