Wireless BoomBox

At first, I would like to thanks Instructables !

What I have learned : no need to be a good worker to made nice things, you only need Instuctables.

As I do not have any room left in my house, and I wouldn't throw away an old pair of Sony bookshelf, I decided to turn these two Speakers in two BoomBox !

The goal is a 72 hours minimum standalone Boombox, without any wired connection.( In playing mode)

It should be used as an audio media compatible Bluetooth stereo Speaker . (With a Smartphone)

To complete my project i need to buy another used Speaker to convert it.

I go on ebay to buy one; a 15€ Philips Speaker.

Good news it have a Woox system. (Passive Speaker for better bass).

My apologize for the Audiophile Purists, the object of this instructable is to have a CHEAPER BoomBox but as good enough with recycling materials. So, i don't have calculating any room space acordling to the speakers themself, and reuse the cabinet to put a stereo system. As for the Ampli class D, and there is not any protecting system for the speaker. Thoses BoomBox are 100% standalone. Very Impressive, Cheaper and EASY TO MADE. They sound very correctly even in exterior with people around.

The first one cost me : 30€

The second one cost me : 50€

Now go wire

As easy a the plan ....or not .

We need to put all speaker and button on wood.

I am lucky enough to have a Laser cutting machine at my work, so with Corel Draw, it is easy to make the trace for the cutting machine.

- In the first picture it is the front of the box.

- The second Picture was for the second Boombox, i ad triangulare wood to make nicer design (engage only me)

and the cutting part for the passive speaker (Woox System).

- The third was for the finish and decoration. A Metal painted Flame on wood (MDF wood).

About the text i would like to make a Marshall TM style font, i found a font named ''Amplify'', a free font, you can download it here :

And the flame i used to hide the cutting and border of the speaker.

Now you need to assemble all of this.

Now, glue the wood box

Glue the plastic vinyl with crocodile effect and/or the leather

Paint the Wood designed. In front 'Music by Kin' with Marshall TM font like, and paint with a gray metal effect..

Laser engraved a cool design on the back. I love Motorcycling so for me it was two pistons with flame again for recall those printed on wood in front of the two Passive speaker.

Put the sound On

Enjoy
