Hell you'd need to work out a lot before lifting that behemoth! Nice one!

davebush - 2012-10-21 02:44

is that a 3 piece box with 2 extra speakers glued to the sides reno.......

 

Looks a tad fishy to me

radio.raheem - 2012-10-21 03:03

It is dave.....bolted and glued on.....and stickers from other boxes and painted....title has been changed.....fecking love her tho dave....just as much power as any grail.. as i have adjusted the tape input path... and having 4 speakers has lowered the impedance...creating higher volume...and the bass...mmmm

 

cheerz si yup she is a heavy bugger now

lav.loo - 2012-10-21 05:05

hmm i quiet like that Reno lol, looks like it kicks ass, loving the red dust caps too, nice one

stereo.mad - 2012-10-21 05:39

nice job reno......nice to see the finished result,did you fix the speakers together how we discussed?

radio.raheem - 2012-10-21 05:56

Thanks Arron she indeed kicks ass son.....it's not realy fair to compaire her to any box

 

but she is a boombox and a winner....

 

Lee I couldn't remember what you said to use.....so i used a plastic glue which is supposed to melt the plastic together......but what was it you suggested son??? in-case lol....i have also strengthened the handle etc....as there was no way it could handle the weight....i have taken her out and already had somebody interested.....i think they nearly came in there pants when they heard the power and saw the size of her....i think there ipod will be going in the bin hehe... ohh the size is over 4 ft

radio.raheem - 2012-10-21 09:26

That asking for something really bad to happen!! Next good question is? How do you reach the buttons to operate the machine, with ladder? 

 

Unfortunately Not the worst I seen, I seen one building, that had a working toilet install in the middle of the shower. When I ask why? The owner said the contractor wanted more money to have it removed, so they built the shower around the toilet. You sure have seen the electrical, pipes ran outside the drywall to.

hey radio raheem, great idea,  good to know you are staying busy.

radio.raheem - 2012-10-22 02:03

Thanks for all the comment's guys.....good or bad....i just wanted to make something different, which i have done....normally i would.t do this myself (overloading amps, size) etc but it's been fun....better than sleeping 24 hr's a day....and i'll say this....the guy downstairs from me says this pounds downstairs with bass...something only 1 other box has achieved, my kaboom

walkgirl - 2012-10-22 02:43

Mooooooooooo 

nevone - 2012-10-22 11:26

Can you put pictures of the back of the box too? I might want to do this too.

But I promise i-ll go easy on the red...

radio.raheem - 2012-10-22 11:49

Hi Nev... the back just looks normal... but i do plan to reinforce it with a couple of sheets of plastic in the future....as for wiring it is just doubled up the same as you would wire up one set of speakers

claret.badger - 2012-10-23 00:00

can you post me a pic of your fridge

It reminds me of something....

 

radio.raheem - 2012-10-30 00:09

Now that puts the BOOM back in the Box !!   You have taken BIGGER IS BETTER to the next level !!   Bravo.  Here is a little classier ride for you Back to the Future although your Giant of Boomers will have to take up the entire back seat.  

Sounds good to me.
