Boom in da box 2.0 - Chill out box

Cleaning out old hard drives can mean that sometimes you come across old treasures.

Back in 2011, for the music festival Peace and Love I wanted to bring my trusty home built “boom-in-da-box” (see previous post). However, the rules for the festival camping stated that no lead-acid batteries were allowed into the area and the “boom-in-da-box” ran on a car battery + 600W car-amplifier.

To fix this I needed two things:

More energy efficient 12V amplifier.
Smaller speakers.
A box to build in.

I opted to build the speaker inside of an empty wine box, a “chill out” boom box was born. It lasted the festival, but mono-sound and the hassle of AA’s meant this box eventually died.
