This brings me back. A ghetto blaster was my debut into the installing world. I used a couple of 6x9's for bass and moved up to using high density abs pipe for ports on a couple of my bigger builds. All that led up to putting 8 18's in a suburban. That was my Oppenheimer moment... I unleashed that unto the world, and now it haunts me by passing by my house twice a day. 😆
neat project. looks like you can draw out from power poles on side as well. I got my girlfriend one that was already made. has light up speakers. runs all day on a charge. now you can use it on laptop as Bluetooth speakers .
Thats most unique thing ive seen this year! Ive had a very large can from vietnam/late 60's ive been hoarding for years, now i know what to use it for!
Nice Build! I would definitely put tue guard back on the angle grinder while using the zipcut discs as they can separate and fly apart. Also a full face shield over your safety glasses will help keep the shrapnel out of your face should one explode.
Great build! How well do you think it would have come out if you used a plastic Ammo box instead of the metal one? I’m wondering how that would change the output sound…
If you pull it apart I'd spray the ammo can black myself, but that's just me. I'd probably install a prerequisite Clutch sticker and Black Sabbath logo.
Your post inspired me so I made a box. I love it! One issue, however. When using the aux jack I’m not getting any audio. I get the impression it wants to stay in Bluetooth mode. Instructions are limited. I was thinking there’s a toggle to turn on the aux jack? I’m sure I’m just not seeing a simple fix. What I’m I doing wrong?
Awesome build!! I had kicker speakers when I was teenager!! 2 10 inch with tweeters and boxes, also powered by a 250 watt JVC amp and JVC tape deck that would play both sides!! 73 enjoyed!! How much was total build for this??
It's too bad you didn't do this a month ago. I'd have had time to build it to use at the local Land Navigation Course event this weekend. Oh well, I can make one for overlanding. Always playing music with a group.
Hey!, this is so cool and i have all the parts and i’m about to build it but i don’t have the name of the amp and i don’t know which one to get. please help me get the one you had in the video. Thanks!
Bonjour c'est pas mal le son est vraiment pas mal mais je pense qu'on peut l'améliorer en ajoutant de la laine acoustique dans le boîtier afin de diminuer les effets de vibration du boîtier métal et ça sera parfait je pense même que ça risque de transformer votre son encore mieux sinon c'est sympa comme look Hello it's not bad the sound is really not bad but I think we can improve it by adding acoustic wool in the case in order to reduce the vibration effects of the metal case and that will be perfect I even think that risks transforming your sound even better otherwise it's a nice look
Wire it up for a 3.5mm Stereo port and hook it up to your HF / Mobile unit as an exterior speaker. UPDATE: see the port between the speakers. great project
I got some insulation after filming this video, but I've been procrastinating taking it all apart to put it in. It does have a charging port. That's the red and black plug on the side. I also added a USB-C outlet that has a volt meter after filming..
Coming from a machinist, you got to slow down the RPM of that step drill when it moves past 1/2-5/8". Your surface footage is far too high and you're working too hard. But, I like the concept. I'm a fan of the ammo can. KC3OXN
I was thinking the exact same thing! Years ago, we played around with some old Royal speakers we were rebuilding. Cut a hole for baffle tubes and slid them in and out while playing various music and cut to the best sounding length. Drastic improvement! 73
