My dad was a truck driver for 37 years for a company that didn't put radios in the trucks. All the drivers built radio boxes out of briefcases, tool boxes, and all manner of cool stuff. This reminded me of the radio box he carried into the house everyday so it wouldn't get stolen. Thanks for the video. The memory made me very happy. Cool radio too!
I watched every second of this and was amazed how much of a "handyman" you are. Nive build, original, and even has the storage compartment for the charges and cable... AWESOMENESS !
Thanks Mate, Pioneer systems are perfect for the units I make. I've just checked out your channel and I'm looking forward to watching some of your videos. Especially the old amp repairs.
@@taswesty Thanks yea, ive just bought a Pioneer DEH-X3800UI head unit from ebay in mint condition for £35, it will be fitted in my model railway baseboard and connected to a pair of monitor audio bronze br1 speakers, should sound great as theyre high sensitivity and 4ohm
@@taswesty most definitely and I had a small challenge for you...making one out of a DVD player...Size and model has to be one compact and one with DVD/CD rewriting capabilities...I thought it might be an awesome challenge.💪🖤 Keep up the great work
This has to the most awesome "toolbox radio" I have yet to see! I have watched probably well over 100 builds and this one it the best by far. I'd love to have this one in my shop. Great video!
Wow! thanks Justin ATV. I really appreciate positive feedback and this is about as good as it gets. I get asked daily about building these for people but unfortunately the costs are too high at the moment. Maybe I need to put more effort into finding cheaper parts.
Hahaha Awesome, thanks Mate!! I am working on selling them. Just getting the parts together to build a few. I have made a few changes to improve them as well.
Car heads are perfect for this. The sound is good and they are built to get BUMPED.DITCH THE LIGHTS! IT'S GREAT APART FROM THAT. YOU COULD MAKE MONEY SELLING THE BITS YOU FABRICATED. I'D BUY
Thanks mate. I always appreciate positive feedback. You're definitely correct about car head units and was a big part of the reason why I used it. I've been working on coming up with a commercially cost effective version. Hopefully I'll have something available soon.
To be honest, no. I am not good in videomaking and I don't want to make whole process of manufacturing. Perhaps, I will make short one as a result. We will see.
J'aime bien ! C'est très original comme idée !!! En plus , très bon boulot !!! . I like ! It's very original as an idea !!! In addition, very good job! . Мне это нравится Это очень оригинально как идея !!! Кроме того, очень хорошая работа!
Yep totally agree, and the next design includes a lot of improvements. Fortunately, I sealed all the joints with polyurethane adhesive and the sound is surprisingly good. Certainly no complaints from my brother.
Thanks Elser81. Technically you could plug this into your computer via the AUX plug. But it would also be an awesome idea to build a stand alone PC speaker version. Maybe I could add that to my list of projects :-)
No baffles on this one Mate, just sealant around the joints. This build was a learning experience and hopefully the next one will be an opportunity to make some upgrades.
@@taswesty Great :) I too have a speaker like this, but it is made out of a older speaker box. I added new bass speakers, a 12 volt battery from a I think tractor lawnmover, or a fourwheeler , and a car radio. sounds amazing but I need to add tweeters. the battery is twice as big as yours. It has 24 apers.
Hi in regarding the Battery that you used Would it be possible to use one of those little power packs that you use as jumpstarters you have a charging port as well plus other ports as well Thanks for showing us It’s a great product
Hi mate, I was wondering if you would be able to tell me how you wired the led up to flash with the music ? If you could that would be awesome, thank you
Only thing is adding direct twelve 12 volt LED lights to a speaker terminal that receives alternate current. Is useless! You will blow the LED resistor that is not rectified to DC current. All speaker outputs are AC! Alternate current! So you have a square trying to complete with curve waves that are not comfortable unless you rectify the circuit
Nice build mate it came out fantastic and i was wondering if you have a diagram for all the wiring you did to this box i would appreciate thank you and god bless you
Nice build. How long does that little lead acid battery last? I wonder how hard it would be to rig to run off one of those Ryobi 18v batteries? I'd be willing to guess the stereo wouldn't mind the extra couple volts compared to a cars normal 14.4ish.
How long does the battery last when jamming out? Looking to build a boom box myself and trying to figure out which battery is best bang for the buck. Would love to make it at least 10 hours off a charge. I watched your ammo can one too and seen you said you could play that one for 10 hours off the jump box and still have plenty of battery. Which battery was better?
G'day Evan. It definitely depends on the volume you play it at. I get a whole day at work on a single charge on the Ammo Box. Just go for the biggest battery that suits your build, or you could add two batteries if that works for your design
Hi Robert. I have added a parts list to the description. Most of the suppliers are Australian, but you should be able to get them from any where, if you are from another country.

Mate, that is probably the best comment I have had yet. It's awesome to know my video brought back happy memories for you.
Nice! Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

Thanks for the awesome comment :-) glad you like the video.
I have to say, that's a well built Portable stereo. Love the idea that you did it on a toolbox.
Thanks Fernando. My brother was pretty happy with it.
Now that's a garage boombox! Very cool. DeWalt needs to take some notes from this.
brony4life1982 hahaha awesome. Thanks for the great comment. Any time dewalt want to talk to me , I'm here. 😁
That is one badass jammer!
Thanks Mate!!
Excellent job, my friend across the pond. You are very skilled and have a lot of good ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Jon. I appreciate the compliment
Tas Westy congratulations an excellent job as all professionals, greetings from the Dominican Republic.
Thanks Mate. Wow, Dominican Republic, this video is getting around. Great to hear from you.
I absolutely love messing with pioneer car stereos, their RGB series of head units sound absolutely superb on good speakers.

I want this boom box soooooo freaking bad. Dear God, I love DIY videos...
Thanks Mate!! awesome comment :-) I am making them to order if you're interested.
@@taswesty most definitely and I had a small challenge for you...making one out of a DVD player...Size and model has to be one compact and one with DVD/CD rewriting capabilities...I thought it might be an awesome challenge.💪🖤

@@thagentleman05 Sounds like a great idea. I'll add it to my list of projects. Just hope I get some time soon to work on them :-)
What a awesome boom box. Great Idea for a gift.
Thanks Mate. My brother is very happy with it.
Такой ящик будет стоить дороже чем целый музыкальный центр 😁 ещё и с динамиками отдельно 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
С языка снял.
Awesome build, very creative, I wish I was your brother
Yeah my brother doesn't know how lucky he is :-)
Thanks for the support Neil, I appreciate it.
Just. Absolutely. Stunning. Wow.
Thanks Mate,I appreciate it!!
The most original one yet.
I can imagine Aussie tradies wanting one for sure. Onya mate.
Thanks Mate!! I'm working on making them for sale. Hopefully I can find some interested tradies.
tas westy I’m interested
That thing is so awesome I want one of my own. Great job.
Thanks Mate. Maybe you could try building one.

Awesome! Awesome!
Someday when I clean out my garage I'm going to build me one.
Great job!👍👍
Thanks Mate, great to hear. Let me know when you build it, I would love to see it 👍
Love it!!!! Great craftsmanship brother!!😀😀😀😃 good old made in America 😁😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😄😃😃😃😃😀😀😀
Thanks Mate, I appreciate it. Australia is close to America 😉
That is the most AWESOME thing I've seen this year so far on UA-cam and I would buy one if you are selling them.
Hahaha Awesome, thanks Mate!! I am working on selling them. Just getting the parts together to build a few. I have made a few changes to improve them as well.
This was great. Need more videos to watch.
Beautiful toolbox good work
You gots mad skillz. You could sell those. Thumbs up.
Thanks Mate, I'm working on it.
Best one i seeing so far i love everything about it and the led flashing lights nice touch great job
Thanks Mate. This one was definitely a fun build.
Wow very cool and very neatly done!! Shout out from the States!
Thanks Mate. Shout out back to you from Tasmania.
Love the build. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Mate, I appreciate the positive feedback.
I like this, but I would have a CD and DVD player too....Nice job.
Thanks, Mate. I did look at installing a system with a CD player but I would have to run a bigger battery. Definitely possible.
Great custom build mate! That is awesome! Well done
Thanks Mate, I appreciate it.
Excellent work!
Thanks Mate!!
You have MAD SKILLS Great job 👍👍
Thanks Mate, I appreciate it!!
Too cool! Best gift ever! Outstanding job. 👍👍
Thanks Mate, he is pretty happy with it.
That IS a work of art VERY VERY clever. WELL DONE.
Thanks Mate, I appreciate it. It's always nice to get positive feedback.
Car heads are perfect for this. The sound is good and they are built to get BUMPED.DITCH THE LIGHTS!

An excellent build great stuff
Wow that looks great !!!!
Thanks Mate!!
Such an incredible build man! Wish you had plans for dimensions placement and wiring!
Отличная идея и прекрасное воплощение.
большое спасибо вам
Good ideas with the case transformer in box and good moment with you tank you very much
Thanks Mate!! It is always nice to get good feedback.
Great build. Absolutely Genius. 😎👍
Thanks Mate, I appreciate it!!
very nice ive seen computer power supplys used for power
Yep, you could definitely use a PC power supply. Would be a great option instead of batteries if you weren't concerned with portability.
Good idea! Hope your brother was satisfied!) I'd like to make similar box and use the same battery, so for me it is interesting solution! Thanks!
Thanks Mate. Yeah he was pretty happy with it. I would live to see you build, are you going to make a video?
To be honest, no. I am not good in videomaking and I don't want to make whole process of manufacturing. Perhaps, I will make short one as a result. We will see.
No worries mate. I would love to see it if you do.
OK, I'll do my best! Now, I am just gathering components, but housing is the most difficult thing in the project, in my opinion.
What is it about the housing you are most concerned about?
J'aime bien ! C'est très original comme idée !!!
En plus , très bon boulot !!!

5+. Руки растут там где надо и голова соображает !
You should make more videos.... 👍👍👏👏
Thanks Mate. I intend to, just struggling to find the time.
Looks awesome 👌👏😎
Very cool 😎
WOW , great video all i need it is some popcorn ...i enjoy it more than mary poppins ! from 0:00 to 17:56 hats off
Thanks Mate!!
Clean work ... great job 👌🏼
Thanks Mate !!
yup , very cool build man thanks!
Thanks Isaac.
I wish i had your skills real interesting video thanks.
Thanks Tony. I've never had any training, you should give it a go and see what happens :-)
If your Brother is as gifted as you lucky People that get his Bikes
Great job
Thanks Mate. I just watched your Chevy pickup video, very nice !!
tas westy thank you!
bel lavoro, davvero un bel lavoro, bravo!
Grazie amico. Apprezzo molto il tuo commento
Nice touch with the electric Arial, but would have put some sound deadening for speakers .good job though.
Yep totally agree, and the next design includes a lot of improvements. Fortunately, I sealed all the joints with polyurethane adhesive and the sound is surprisingly good. Certainly no complaints from my brother.
Ray Chambers a minha
Excellent work, build something similar but connect it to a computer source. greetings from Argentina.
Thanks Elser81. Technically you could plug this into your computer via the AUX plug. But it would also be an awesome idea to build a stand alone PC speaker version. Maybe I could add that to my list of projects :-)
do not explain it to me, instead of using a battery, use a power supply from a desktop computer.
Sorry Mate, now I understand. Yes you could definitely power this with a PC power supply.
smooth and perfect.. thumbs up!!!!
Thanks Haris.
That is freakin cool love it fantastic build
Thanks Mate.
HELLO VERY GOOD WORK, COULD YOU KNOW HOW LONG THE BATTERY LASTS USING THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT EXTERNAL POWER?
My brother gets about 6 hours on the battery if not using the LED's
Might think about adding a solar panel or two for charging the unit while outdoors.
Sounds like a great idea. I don't have much experience with solar panels, might have to look into it, thanks.
Badass..good job
Thanks Mate
Nice shop
Thanks Evan, I'm very lucky :-)
Did you put speaker baffles for insulation? It would probably sound nice
No baffles on this one Mate, just sealant around the joints. This build was a learning experience and hopefully the next one will be an opportunity to make some upgrades.
Ese Boomblastes esta chido y es portatil ya estoy construyendo el mio 🤘😌😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 ya me duste la idea bro
At 16:32 you can hear the metalic box rattle. This setup will have afwul rattling sound at high volumes. But it is really cool !
Thanks. Yep, you can definitely hear a slight vibration that I fixed with some sealant off camera.

Awesomeness
Thanks Mate!!
Oh my GOD, you're so perfect 👌
Awesome, thanks Mate !!
great work, looks like from a store. ;)
That's a great compliment, thanks Mate!!
Hi mate, I was wondering if you would be able to tell me how you wired the led up to flash with the music ? If you could that would be awesome, thank you
G'day Rhyan. The LED's are sound activated. You can get them on amazon here: goo.gl/7e3WQ7
or on Ebay here: goo.gl/HYJf2g
or wire normal led lights to the speaker wire and you wont pick up banhs or anything will be 100% speaker sound it flashes too,or same thing for a sub
Only thing is adding direct twelve 12 volt LED lights to a speaker terminal that receives alternate current. Is useless! You will blow the LED resistor that is not rectified to DC current.

Thanks Elijah. No reason why you couldn't use that type of battery, but I reckon it would be safer if you stepped down the voltage.
Excellent
Thanks Mate!!
Muy buen trabajo, algun dia lo voy a hacer.
Gracias, estoy feliz de que te guste. Espero ver tu construcción algún día
Yo . Ya tengo el radio y los perlantes también la bobina de 14 amp. Solo falta hacer el cajón e instalarlo
I didn't know something could kick that much ass.

anybody please tell me what is the name of that song playing 16:31. and your work is really professional
Take all my money!
Hahaha!! No worries Jorge, would you like my bank details? 😀
That was bad ass
Thanks Mate!!
Work of art! very creative dude, is it chargeable dude or you always need ac power?
Thanks Mate. It is chargeable as well as AC. My brother gets about 6 hours out of a full charge.
Ну интересно...но рукожопство чистой воды. Плюс финансово убыточно. Умнее и проще купить готовое заводской изделие.
Спасибо. Да, это определенно дешевле и проще купить готовые объекты, но мне нравится удовлетворение от изготовления вещей
You should of went with Sony mex-xb100xt and infinity kappa speakers. Nice Job.
Thanks for the advice mate. I'm sure that setup would be awesome. Unfortunately it would have doubled my budget.
これまた、凄いね？
工具箱をスピーカーにするなんて？
A good idea 👋👍
I love it is so cool

Very awesome.

Would you please make me one? I just love it.
