Home-made Boomboxes

description: Hey there, I'd like some ideas on home-made boom-boxes. The one's they sell at the stores are alright, but I'd like something custom made that I can take anywhere. Any ideas?

description: Well, that is the whole idea behind boomboxes.....that you can take them anywhere. By custom made I'm assuming you want better sound. For that, just buy a better set of speakers than the store bought variety offers and build around them.

description: That sounds like a fun project! I actually like the idea of building your own boom box because you can make it just how you want it. You could start with a sturdy wooden or plastic case, add a couple of good Bluetooth speakers, and maybe a small amp board with a rechargeable battery. Some people even use old toolboxes or vintage suitcases for the body, which looks really cool and portable. It’s a nice weekend project, and the kids might even want to help out too!

description: I haven’t made one myself, but I’ve seen some cool DIY boombox builds. A lot of people use a small toolbox or wooden box, then add a Bluetooth amp board, a couple of speakers, and a rechargeable battery. It turns out pretty portable and unique. If you want something simpler, you can get a Bluetooth speaker kit and put it in whatever case you like.

I constructed a det of boomboxes last September for my niece who pleaded that I do one for her and getting the materials from Parts Express was one of the best decisions that I made. I highly recommend them.
