Make your own Boombox

[@ryantoomey611]

That charger is overkill, they make much simpler and cheaper chargers for lead-acid batteries. Also, the 30-amp power supply is way overkill, that radio probably only draws a maximum of 10 amps at full volume. Although, the wiring job is done well and looks very professional.

[@anonymousarmadillo6589]

[@hananas2]

If you put a piece of rubber or foam on the border of the lid and fasten it with screws you will get much louder and deeper sound because no air pressure is escaping. Please try it, you will hear a big difference!

that would harm the speakers as they need some sort of presure compensation

Bissekat1 Make sure you're using free air type of speakers in sealed enclosures. You just gotta flip your subwoofer over by the magnet area and look for any small screen looking vents or ports between baffle and magnet part of subwoofer speaker, that's a free air. Some have a circle port about 3/4 inches on center of magnet that's also a free air.

[@javaman2883]

The boombox I built like that back in 1995 still works great, though it is on its third battery. Those lead-acid batteries only last 3-5 years. I used a Radio Shack 40 watt EQ booster, two 6.5 inch 2-way speakers, and originally a 15AH battery from Science Surplus. Box was made from 3/8 inch plywood, glued together and L brackets for corner support. I meant to put in hinges for the lid, but just having it press fit into some weather stripping held it in place pretty well. I plugged my Walkman into the aux input, and enjoyed my favorite tapes. Of course now I play my music from my phone's headphone out.

my friends and I use to do this back in the late 80's. We made a portable box with 4 12" speakers and another box for a car stereo and amp and powered it with a car battery. We would use my friends parents mini van, take out all the back seats, and would cruse down the strip. Now we didn't care that we was in a mini van, when your 16 and 17 years old, thumping music that can easily be heard 50 feet away and hanging with your friends was a blast. AAaahhhh... the good Ol' days.........

[@nosafetyswitch9378]

Great project! One addition could be some solar cells with a boost converter on the top of the box to take advantage of the sun in a picnic or something!

[@timmytubede]

I started building mine in May 2015 and kinda finished it in April 2016. Now I have a portable bluetooth speaker with radio that goes for 8 hours of music on a decent volume. I got to use a lot of old parts that were laying around. My handlebar is from an old bus, my speakers are Magnats from 1998 or so. My charging system is an external automatic charger that goes into mains and is directly connected to the battery via XLR plug. The whole system weighs about 12 kg ...... But that's okay, it'll help you become super strong over time ;) I will do a KZbin video at some point but that will take some time

[@pcallas66]

This is a very nice project you did. The beauty of it is, if the car radio would break, all you would need to do is replace the radio and radio wiring harness. All of the other wiring would be in place already.

[@joemann7971]

Instead of the switch, why not use relays? You could have set up the relays directly to the power supply. Whenever there is power from the power supply, it could disconnect the battery and connect it directly to the power supply to allow the battery to charge and it would do this automatically instead of having to add funky switches in the front. Then the only switch you would need is one connected to the ignition wire of the stereo so you could turn the car stereo on and off.

[@AlanGonzalez-om4rr]

I made it on that way but without batteries, just only for keeping memory :)

[@litetactic5112]

Also why use a funky Tunigy charger surely a generic car battery charger would do the trick? Or look for "12V Battery Automatic Charging Controller Protection Module Auto Charger board" on the Bay of E

SLA is by far the best choice still as they are dirt cheap and they have a good life span if looked after. The cells are also the perfect 12v, so perfect for PC and car electronics. Other technologies are suitable when you're really concerned about weight and money is no object.

[@OrderOfTheRedstone]

+Toxicity because lead acid batteries dont blow up in your face unlike lipos,plus the need for a over charge over discharge circuit,plus they supply less and less power when heated up,not only that,lipos are dangerous because they can detonate like a bomb at any moment,once i had a friend that was soo happy to get a Samsung Galaxy Note 7,3 days later he was treated for 3rd degree burns on his hands,now,why dont you tell me why you think Lithium Polymer batteries are safer than Plain Safe lead acid batteries

[@Toxicity1987]

+Trodded Sloth LiFePO has nothing to do with Lipo batteries, thats are 2 very different technologies. One big advantage of LiFePO is that they are save, they can't blow up. Thats why they are good replacement for Lead-Acid batteries.

Must have been 1965, or perhaps 64 not sure which, when I saw my first car radio run from 110 volts. It didn't work great, but after some tinkering, we got it playing well enough so listen to the KOMA Good Guys (KOMA was a very powerful radio station in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. Everyone in the Midwest tuned their AM Radios to 1520 anytime after the sun sat!) My buddy didn't have a radio in his bedroom, and wanted to be able to listen after his huge family (mom-dad and 8 brothers and sisters!) went to bed. So we visited the midnight auto supply (we broke into the local wrecking yard after dark) and acquired (stole) a car radio from an old Chrysler (they had fancy radios!) to power it, first we tried an old battery charger (found at the local dump ground) but the rectification and filtration were just not that good and there was a Lot of noise over the speakers, (2 count 'em 2) front and back speakers! So we tinkered some more, and I think we finally found a way to filter the power from my old Lyonal train transformer through an old motorcycle battery, and at long last we had radio! While at first all we could get was the local AM radio station, another visit to the midnight auto supply found us with a pair of rear mount radio antenna's with very long cables that allowed us to mount one antenna on each window of his bedroom, we ran a ground wire from the normal mounting points where the antennas grounded out on the car body, and drove a six foot long copper rod into the ground. That night, we had KOMA and the Beetles blasted away through his bedroom. We thought we were in rock and roll paradise! Then his dad came in and saw what we had built. Now he was an old fart, he had farmed most of his life, and was probably the most honest man in town, so all the parts from the Midnight auto supply were returned and the music died. Nice to see that our idea survived. We were lucky his old man didn't find our stash of 8mm porn films, secretly ordered from the back pages of some men's magazine. Man those were disappointing, all they consisted of were some very blurry black and white films of naked women playing baseball! If you ran them at 1/2 speed though you could almost see nipple!

[@mitkoprakov1296]

An amazing video, really happy how it turned out, i would love tho a bit more explanation on the wiring how and why, but overall very good made!

"Over priced" HAHAHAHA

That's kewl. I would love to make something like this, but not being one who messes with electronics on a regular basis, I don't have all the fancy equipment t to adjust voltages and other things. Best I have is a soldering iron for basic repair and a voltage meter to make sure my computer PSUs aren't failing. Great video though and that is some LONG life on battery.

It's actually not that difficult and you're messing with 12v so you're unlikely to do any damage other than letting the magic smoke out of something. If you can wire up a car stereo, you can build something like this. You don't need the charger or power supply built in. The most basic one could be a 12v SLA to a car head unit, add car speakers and you're done. You just need to charge the battery with an external charger. Give it a go!

0:37 That is an awesome intro video, Great Scott :-)

Thanks

[@TerryMcKean]

GreatScott! You're welcome. It's cool that the art has progressed to the point that hours of recorded audio/video data can be compressed like that, then played back slowed to real-time speed. ;-)

... and great boom-box, too!! I love to home-brew stuff, too. I especially like to build stuff using vacuum tubes, a.k.a. vacuum valves. ;-)

I'm using a clarion Bluetooth car stereo as my PCs audio sound system. I'm using an 12v power box from an Verizon dvr cable box and some old surround speaker boxes and I have done this project inside a shoe box with a lithium ion battery pack was very light and portable

[@WarriorWoz]

Not bad? That battery last longer than my phone on full volume, Well done! This is very interesting indeed. I'm going to work towards it. Would be great to have on the construction site i usually work.

Probably wouldn't hurt to add some hard foam insulation behind the speakers, on ether side of the radio. Would greatly reduce reverb.

[@krapeevids6992]

Interesting..I built something similar to use in my employers service van. Had a Sony cd deck with a headphone jack input to play the music off my phone , 12” Rockford fosgate subwoofer, (2) 3 way 6” Sony speakers, Rockford 500watt sub amp and another Rockford amp just for the Sony speakers all enclosed in a wooden square box but in a manner that still allowed the subwoofer to put out massive amounts of BASS. I wired and secured up front between the driver’s and passenger seat in a manner that would allow me to remove it through the back of the van fairly easily. Even could use it as a small desk to write up my service invoices and eat my lunch off of.

[@andersengel2772]

where do you find the wires? do they come with the stuff you buy, or do you have to buy them? and for more battery life could you just set 2 ekstra batteries on?

[@alanrodrigues3571]

By 9 hours continuously, do you mean with the batteries only? Is it possible or advisable to use it continuously while plugged to an electrical outlet?

[@MrLolzkiller]

The AMP in radio is for 4 speakers! Little bridged woofer on top would be perfect :D
