Project Category:
Portable Speakers

Project Level:
Intermediate

Project Time:
8-20 Hours

Project Cost:
$100 – $500

Project Description:
200 W boom box Version 2

Design Goals:
After building the stock 200 W boom box I wanted to upgrade a few drivers, battery module, and use a cabinet that I had sitting around.

Driver Selection:
Tang Band W6-1139SIF 6-1/2″ Paper Cone Subwoofer Speaker
Part # 264-919
Dayton Audio PS95-8 3-1/2″ Point Source Full Range Driver 8 Ohm Part # 295-349

Enclosure Design:
This was actually a repurposed wedge cabinet that I purchased for $5. MDS construction but solid.

Enclosure Assembly:
Repurposed cabinet. I think it was originally created as a turntable platform.

Crossover Design:fi›
Same as stock boom box

Conclusion:
Stayed pretty close to stock boom box instructions. Very pleased with results. I think the veneer step makes a big difference.

    Correct, the they are Tang Band W5-1611SAF 5″ Full Range speakers. This was my second box after the stock 200-W boom box. This one sounds a lot better and is a big step up in appearance also.
