[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2902711, member: 15054"] I made a boom box from an old plastic tool box..about the size of a tackle box that has the 3 shelfs in it you know. I used a 12V battery from a cash register and an old car stereo AM-FM casette from steve's wholesale it was a pyramid I think. Then a couple dual cone 5.25" speakers facing the front of the box.. the radio faced up behind the handle.. battery fit snugly between speakers and radie inside the box. Power wheel batteries or other small batteries will work well I have a few small 12v batteries but they do not take a charge..I will spark them with 36V in a couple days and see if I can knock the saturation off of them. Sealed batteries from security systems. I do not know if that helps.. but that homemade boom box rocked. pioneer 30 watts RMS dual cones were used.. this was back in the late 80's. I used it when we went to Tenkiller to dive off the cliff's..It would last all day long Talking sun up to sun down. I had a cigarette lighter plug in to charge it.. just leave it hooked up all night and ready the next day [/QUOTE]
