Make Your Own Boombox

In this project I will show you how to create a Boombox that mainly consists of a car radio, salvaged speakers and two 12V lead acid batteries. This upgraded version is louder and lighter than my previous Boombox and can play its tunes up to 9 hours continuously. Let's get started!

The video gives you all the information you need to make your own Boombox. The following steps are just a couple of additional details to make your life easier.

It is always a good idea to test your circuit before mounting all the components inside the wood chest. Feel free to use my wiring scheme to do so.

If your circuit worked perfectly it is time to relocate it inside the wood chest. You can use my attached pictures as a reference.

You did it! You just created your own Boombox!
