Trail Features thanks man!

I've watched bunches of videos like this, I built 7 boomboxes on my own and I can officially say that this is the best one I've ever seen, good job!

That is an awesome build! Classic look with new tech. Great video, thanks!

Looks great man! I’ve been wanting to build one like this for some time now! I’m very happy you went with walnut, it’s a beautiful wood that looks great for this type of thing!

This woodworking is remarkable, keep up the good work!

Nice to see someone who uses dampening material to improve sound. Also, that is a crazy cool shop. And, you have some sick skills. Beautiful build.

excellent craftsmanship, a very nice shop, congrats, that was a nice boombox, all elegant. well builted.

Wow - Awesome. It's so refreshing to see a speaker build by a woodworker. Accuracy, detail and great looks.

Super cool. Love that you adapted the kit to a boom box size. Impressive work.

DUDE!!!!!!!! Great project and she is Beautiful I’m heading to my shop now to take a set of 18yr old computer speakers my good friend Dave gave last week and do the same. Unbelievable that he has had them that long and they sound great. They come with a separate subwoofer.

My first job was soldering audio jacks for an entire summer so I got pretty good at it. I ended up working at that place for almost 10 years. I'd say you did a really good job for your first time soldering. Here are my two biggest tips: 1 - put a dab of solder on the tip of the gun before touching it to the wires. This helps transmit heat from the iron to the wire. You want the wires hot enough to melt the solder, otherwise you'll get a cold joint that could break or have lots of resistance. 2 - Use spring clamps to hold your parts. Just put them on their side and clamp the part in place.

I like how you used a crossover to better produce the low and high frequencies separately for a clearer and better soundstage audio output. The cabinet was also created flawlessly which is a nice combination for hifi audio.

Thanks! The boombox sounds amazing and the battery life really is phenomenal.

just perfect build

Very nice speaker build. But most of us don't have all the fancy tools to do this. I built one out of plywood and car stereo media player and car speakers. 12 volt LiFEPo4 battery and charger and sounds great , no foam inside and an vent hole on front panel. did I mention it sounds great. Lots of bass and good overall full range sound. I use it at work on my tool box. I may build a second one for home use or to replace the one at work and use that at home. will see.

Very cool project Johnny!! It turned out looking great

This looks great!! The only addition I would do is to install a couple of 12v 8Ah batteries and charger so you can make it a portable great looking boombox! It will require some additional electronics to convert 110v to 12v, to measure charge and stop charging when full... but I think it would be totally worth it!

My daughter and I build a set of c-notes. I recognized them in your thumbnail haha. That box must sound awesome, the c-notes are great. The only downside is that you're missing the great imaging these speakers have by putting them so close together.

Yup, the C-Notes are known for their incredible imaging (for the $$.) Almost a waste to use them in this application. I bet they still sound good. I do wonder if a cheaper set of drivers would work well in this boom box. Worth researching if I build one.

Would have been nice to see an in depth section dedicated to the power distribution. The first word in the description is BATTERY and yet you have nothing in the video indicating how you handled that.
