i've been looking for a box with a little BOOOOOOOM in it while i am out on my alternate project (see my "what does $100 look like" thread over in the collections forum) and i realized i need a box with some bass. can anyone suggest a good budget box (<$100) with bass to keep an eye out for? ebay listings always say the hitachi 3d boxes and some other 4 speaker set ups have deep bass, but i trust you guys about 100 times more than the sellers. also, styling isn't such a huge issue, so eggs and newer boxes are fine by me, just looking for suggestions.

EDIT: i just remembered an old college roommate of mine had a JVC Kaboom, which if i recall is supposed to be a bass heavy box, but he never ever played anything bass heavy on it, so it didn't make an impression on me.

kaboom all day. I have one and its nuts. the tape deck isn't that great on it though

Philips AZ 2030...

It sounds very well and goes loud, mighty bass...

Here you can find a pic...

Please help me to make my English perfect and correct my mistakes

The Hitachi 3D series have amazing bass. Avoid the smaller TRK-3D2 and TRK-3D30 models. Go for TRK-3D7, TRK-3D8. There are tons more great Hitachi 3D models out there. Private message "isolator42" if you require more information about this series. The large JVC Kaboom models (RV-B90, RV-NB10 etc) are apparently the bassiest portable stereos ever made, not the loudest, but they certainly have the most bass. I also have one and it's highly impressive. Hope this helps.

I also have a Kaboom it is without a doubt Bass king but lacks on Treble big time. The more well rounded Boombox in my opinion is the Panasonic DT-680 it has the best of both worlds and the best part they sell very cheap on ebay!

For $100.00 I would go with the Sony CFS- 9000 with the square little speakers provides great bass for $100.00

I believe I had a Sony CFS-9000 back in the early-1990s, and if I remember correctly, it had excellent tone including nice bass.

I have three of these and I desire more of these preferably the one's that have working Cassette one's JVC RC 550 's

almost exactly whay I was giong to say
The 3Ds do thump out a fair bit for their size & are cheap as chips, but the bass of a Kaboom is in another league. Although there are louder b-boxes, it's no slouch. I think you might have trouble landing one for less than $100, though.
Panasonic RX-DTs do well in the bass dept also (1pc or 3pc). I have this one:

& although its right at the cheap end of the 3pc RX-DTs, its great for bass - loud too...

I have this Sony CFD-G505 Sony boombox. in the kitchen,my wife uses it a lot. It sounds good and has a lot of bass. I bought it to listen to at work originally, but it's not loud enough. I see they have a newer model Sony CFD-G700 MP3 model. that plays MP3 discs now.....

Remember I bought my green one for £50 at Cash Converters? It was the best £50 I've ever spent!

The JVC PC-V series are pretty good and cheap.
here's some info from Jens.

Go to this thread and this boombox it thumps pretty good for $15.00 skippy 1969 is selling it on Ghettoblasters & Boombox Parts For Sale Is anyone else interested?????

Hey Skippy, I just bought the CFD-G700CP. Don't let the pic fool you. It's much bigger, louder and bassier(?!?) than the CFD-G505. Although it can't knock the bass crown off my Kaboom it does have a much better speaker balance with some sweet tweeters. I'm satisfied anyway.
