great job but i would have cleaned the rust out

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

That was a mistake on my part. I didn't know it was that bad, O hadn't looked in it before hand. It really shouldn't affect anything with the dynomat inside

[@24zville]

I would use some cutting oil for the drilling

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

I do use cutting oil when I drill out the spot welds on the cross braces on the 40mm ammo cans. The metal is so thin on these cans that cutting oil is really not needed and would also be a pain to clean up if you want to paint the box

[@rockymountainroughridersofMT.]

How much difference in sound quality is there when using the sound deadening mat compared to not using the mat?

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

World of difference. With out the sound mat it sounds like speakers in a tin can. Thr mat also helps the bass

[@rockymountainroughridersofMT.]

@@diyboomboxesintexas2805 Thanks for the feedback. I'm getting into making ammo can guitar amps.

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Can't even tell you how times I have cut myself making these ammo can speakers. When cutting holes in steel, I use clamps, magnets (for the shavings) and a vacuum cleaner. And I still make a mess.

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

I bought a big plastic tote from Lowes and I now cut the holes inside the tub. It catches all the shavings and you just pour then in the trash can

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

I may do a video on that this weekend. I have 3 ammo cans in production

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

@@diyboomboxesintexas2805 -- I haven't made a new one in a while. My biggest one (Fat25 can called "Phantom") with dual 8" Skar Audio subs and 600 watts makes insane bass/sound. Added some "Skar Audio" steel subwoofer grills I found on eBay and some blinky LED VU output lights. It is likely one the most powerful DIY boom boxes out there. I haven't seen any out there like it. Dual batteries, dual amplifiers, BT, EQ, etc-etc.

What brand of hole saw you use

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

I have tried different ones. Lennox works the best but not cheap. Dewalt is also good

[@corddwigans]

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

Loading video 5 right now. It will end up being 7 videos total.

[@randomcreates5194]

you should make a toolbox boombox

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

If you look through my videos, I have done several tool boxes. My first build was a toolbox 🧰 that I still use each day. I am also doing a Craftsman toolbox build this weekend. My second one

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

Got back to my first video I did 4 years ago and you will see the toolbox

[@aag6499]

What size the speakers are?

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

4 inch speakers

[@richardanderson573]

What hole saw size do you use for 6.5 inch speaker cutouts? Thanks.

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

It depends on the brand of speakers. Kickers is 5 inch Polk is 5.5 inch. Skar and Rockville speakers are 5.75 inch

[@josemontoya4871]
