Built this boombox as a donation for the annual Nellis AFB EOD Christmas party. Every first Saturday of December they have a big Christmas party at the Casablanca Casino/Hotel in Mesquite NV. Tons of active/retired EOD techs and their families from all over the country get together to drink too much, eat too much and spend WAY too much money on raffle and auction items. The proceeds go to the EOD Warrior Foundation and the IGT (I got this) Foundation. Always a good time.
Couldn't make it this year so I decided to make this boombox for the auction. I assembled the ONS boxes, glued them bottom to bottom, and clad them with blue stain beetle kill pine. Made them look sorta like an old M183 satchel charge crate. Sounds decent for both speakers sharing a baffle but the cool factor makes up for it.
Don't have actual construction pics but fairly standard stuff. Planed the boards down to 1/2". Flat lacquer spray. Cut up a small $8 garbage can from Lowes for the grill material (much better than spending $40 for a small sheet of expanded metal and have enough for another grille, ha).
Specs are;
Overnight Sensation kit from PE
Class D Audio micro amp
Parks Audio PCBs
Sure 12v Bluetooth card from PE
