Project Description:
Took an old 1940’s Ford radio cabinet. and turned into a great jiuke box for my office

Design Goals:
To make an great sounding juke box for my office

Driver Selection:
I used the Dayton Audio KAB-250v3 2x50W Class D Audio Amplifier Board with Bluetooth 4.0 with all of the wiring kits 325-105

Enclosure Design:
I did not have room to mount the sub in its own box so I mounted it on the top shelf facing down and cut a 6 inch whole for it

Enclosure Assembly:
Mounted the Dayton Audio SA25 25W Subwoofer Plate Amplifier 300-782 on the back of the cabinet.

Crossover Design:
I used the cross over that came with my C-Note MT Bookshelf Speaker Kit Pair with Knock-Down Cabinets I had to cut 1/2 off the depth to get them to fit correctly

Tips & Tricks:
Build the light box was easy. I just used a mirror some 1×2 s lexan and car tinting film. It worked great but a day after the project was completed the lights were not working correctly. The red and the white lights will not work

Conclusion:
it sounds even better than it looks and it looks great to me
