It is an excellent, quality designed and built bbx, three-way speakers (acoustic suspension type), four-band eq, 15w + 15w amplifier, four band tuner (fm, mw, sw1, sw2), phono, line in, line out, CrO2/metal/normal tape selector, noise reduction, soft touch tape controls, soft-eject, 30 led centre-out vu meters,4 function leds, one tuner-pointer led, 8 D-cell, front mount headphone and mic jacks, multi position bc switch, ground post.

Very powerful, with clean, clear sound...excellent bass. Cranks without distorting, a great feature if used in a noisy location. Heavy weight, and classy cabinet finish.

I have the Mona MS3030 version. Highly recommended.

I do, and IMO, it sounds like a turd.....very little bass response, and dismal highs. The eq is a joke....again IMO.

kitt - did i actually see it at your house ??
we were in such a big hurry that day --
i forgot !!

the main unit looks great. lots of functions.

some jvc styling cues going on with this boombox ala pc55 i think.

I just pulled mine off the rack and plugged it in at (10:36pm Sunday night)...the wife started yelling at me...it's definately loud and powerful

looks like plenty of interest --so here is the ebay listing---

i just get shakey about these ebay shoe sellers -
who know NOTHING about testing boxes!

prefer to get ripped by a member --who KNOWS whats up

Thanks alot pete

Had the Rising too..great looker in my books.

But i agree on the sound..not that impressed, but still okay

Sold mine to a friend and he is very satisfied..still tells me everytime i see him that it is his favourite box period!!

If it goes for a decent price i'd say you can't go wrong with it Ira.

It's amazing how everyone has a different opinion on this boombox. My Citizen is in "so-so" condition with the speaker wires spliced and taped together, yet the sound from it is just incredible with big bass

I have many "duplicates" of boomboxes in my collection and i have tested them several times against each other for sound comparison...and quite often there is usually a couple that end up being "better sounding" than the others.

Maybe some of these boxes were more "used/worn out" than others...who knows

Well I'm dead center! You know, the one looking up trying to figure out how I got from 'Bama to this frozen a$$ place!

i saw it yesterday,i figured someone would start a thread on it. pretty cool imho.
Seller does not have ship listed so that gives some pause,but i think it's worth a shot.

for anyone in T.O.

if it's still available.

Looks cool, sound is ok - nothing special ...


Best wishes

WOW Ira u will be very happy with the Sanyo C9, Is similar to the Yamaha PC-9. U will like the bass sound on this one .

hope so miguel --i think the amp says 80 watts !!

i forgot what my (yours now) yamaha had for the rating ??--but i sure remember the huge power

Same power 80 watts as well, Defeanetly u will be happy. Let us know when u get it, And post some pics .

Nope, C-7 does not have the same power. The Yamaha PC-9 is like the Sanyo C-7 which is less powerful. Still has plenty of kick though. 80w on the C9 is the power consumption. I need to put mine on the test bench since I forgot what my RMS reading was for output.

Concerning the Citizen,I have a Techsonic with the same driver layout.It looks to be basically the same box with cosmetic and some functional differences.It definitely fits the description of "blaster"!Mine is very loud with a raunchy sound that's sure to impress even outdoors.Though the bass is good,there's too many mids and highs for a balanced sound with some types of music.Even running its midrange slider all the way down won't quite tame this brightness enough.Even so I have fond memories of boxes with this type of sound even if I don't always find them listenable.I tend to think it would sound more balanced with dirty tape heads.
