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.

Nice looking design, The description doesn’t match the pictures. Those are not 3 1/2″ drivers and there is no mention of the tweeters.
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.
