I love this.
Are you selling those? I would love to purchase one.....
Make the sub-box!!! Would love to see the paring, and the process!
That was a cool build. You definitely need to make a matching sub for it.
I would love to get one just like I made it with rca out puts
Id love to see that sub built for this shop box system.
You could add a small amp & woofer with a good enough power supply.
@@JesusSaves86AB i was thinking about that too! I got a 10w3v3 with the grill, that i would love to use in a set up like this. i would just need a good amp. A 3 channel amp would be great! 👌
@@joseluisruiz3789 I had a couple head units that allowed a sub wired on the rear channel instead of a pair of speakers.
Tried several different subs wired up with a Sony deck as a work stereo and people were always impressed.
A decent 8 or 10 is all you need. With some 6.5's or 6x9's.
I'd love to see it as well!
That system looks awesome I'm very impressed and what an awesome job you did, you should make some speaker boxes like that to sell to people who are willing to buy them from you anyways thank you for that tutorial breakdown that you did on how to set it up! You gave me some good ideas!!
You're a beast bro. I can tell you've built alot of stereo equipment in the past. As an electrician I take pride in keeping my wiring neat and clean, so I really like how you take pride in your craft. Looks damn good.
I agree total pro here
I have been wanting to do something like this for a long time. I have so much stuff laying around and don't want to throw them away.
You can do this with old computer powersupplies by isolating all the 12v wires and ground wires as well, if you have any of those lying around.
You know us guys are borders when it comes to tech lol
@@jdparker3damn hell yea good point
I love looking over your builds. Everything is just so clean and insanely professional!! I wish my Dad who does carpentry as a hobby was this clean about his own projects. We call him the King of 80%
i'm not sure what to be more impressed with...
your workmanship - or -
the fact that you have focals just laying around!
Remember, the system is running on *HEAD UNIT POWER ONLY*
Imagine when those components get *JUICED*
Had CAF design a t-line for two 6.5 subs for garage boombox. The thing thumps so hard neighbors can hear it half a mile away. Awesome project, sent pics of finished project to CAF. I appreciate the work that went into design finished project works so well wife and i love it thank you
Some handy guys have taken old vintage boomboxes with shortwave radio on them and modified them adding screens to them and turned them into narrow bandwidth television receivers and even play back narrow bandwidth video recordings on an audio cassette.
Some guys have even built new ones from scratch.
You never miss a detail every little thing is thought of when you build something.
I guess he earns money with his builds, of course he'll pay attention to details ;)
I've been watching more of your videos recently, and I have to say man your attention to detail and ability to break down and clearly communicate your thoughts is very satisfying. This project ended up looking amazing and sounded loud but crystal clear. Awesome stuff!
Love how you had a set of Focal just "sitting around". LOL
Just what I was looking for, a video of how to build a boombox with a car stereo. thank you so much Mark...
Excelente project of yours, congrats.
Dude this looks so cool. I'd love to see a matching subwoofer!
Awesome video. I have been searching for clear instructions and parts list for building and wiring speaker boxes. Thanks much.
I happen to have a set of focal polyglass components going to waste. I thought about doing this years ago and even contacted focal to get their enclosure size recommendation. I think it's time to revisit this project. Nice work!
If you have an old desktop computer sitting around and in a bind for a power adapter, use the power supply from the computer. Cut and cap all wires not yellow or black, and use the yellow + and black - for your juice.
Great use of your components and I needed your part of wiring in the additional for testing. I have an old Pioneer single cid unit with a computer power supply that works great. Now with your help, I can add testing to it. Be blessed. Shalom.
In the time you designed this and finished your front panel I threw a cpu power supply and HU with speakers in a 5gal pail.
This looks awesome, the amount of effort shows.
Oh my, it looks spectacular, and sound up to par! Brilliant!
I would like to see an entry-level video. Say I want to start working in a shop. What would be the first thing they would teach me or want me to learn? Great video. Can't wait to see more.
Yes! Build the sub box for that awesome boombox! Tuned in!
I really enjoy your channel and appreciate all the videos I have watched and seen you have made. It makes me so happy that your abilities have helped further my education in the car audio world. I've always been a big fan of car audio and thanks to you I've been able to learn so much faster and thoroughly I'm a big DIY but do enjoy watching videos to learn. Thanks for doing what you do!
such a fun and informative build Mark. I love it. so clean and fits the channel color scheme perfect.
Keep up the great work man, Love when I see I new video in my sub feed
Man what You do there is not a build.....is f......g ART!! Congrats!!!!!
I built a boombox about 6 years ago . Using a pioneer double din head unit ,400 w r m s amp ( CT Sounds , kicker 400w r m s 12 " sub , running off a 1200w ( 100a ) 12dc power supply( HP) . Clean ,clear sound even at full volume
I’d be interested in seeing the sub box build for it. I’ve been toying around with ideas like this for a while. I love the adaptability of yours for testing and the forethought you put into it
Going above and beyond as always. Great job!! I always learn something new.
Awesome!.... Just what I was looking for, thank you so much Mark. 👊🏽😎
Nice on the adapter plates for the speakers. That roll-on paint has a good texture. I like building custom guitar cabinets. Good video, nice to see creative people!
That’s a neat jam box plus test rig! Tunes in the shop and test before install capable. Oh yeah, that’s trick city! Good job!👍🏻
It sounds much better than most of those homebrew boombox videos I've seen where the sound is often very boxy and bass sounding very poor to zero. People seem to think that you can put any speaker driver into any sized box and it will be booming. Your video is the best example of a boom box I've seen so far.
Been wanting to tackle one of these builds this video explains it all thanks for sharing awesome video
So Cool, looks great and is practical! Well done mate.
This was fantastic. and you walked us through some very cool stuff. Wow. !!
CarAudioFabrication!!! Your Fabrication quality its out of this world..Thank you for sharing - Master Car Audio - 🔥🙌🔥🚀
Very nice! I have a car set up in my living room running on a 30A power supply. Thinking on building a box for it like this. Good show sir.
Dude that’s an awesome way to use some old equipment that’s just collecting dust. Definitely gonna keep this in the back of my plans for when I get my shop
Beautifully smartly done I love it!
Nice build. You can also use a psu from a pc. The advantage is you get multiple additional voltages and also make terminals for it to test things. This is what I have done. Works perfectly.
I like before watching cause I already know this is going to be dope
Awesome build. After seeing this I will be building something similar. Thanks
Definitely would like to see more of this and related stuff.
Shop is really clean… too clean 🤔
Build is perfect amount of clean 👌🏼
Great tutorial! Ive done a similar build in the past. Making a continuation of this with subwoofer integration would be awesome!
Great video, great idea and great workmanship! 👏🤙
I did something very similar but mine is a table with a down firing bass. Sounds pretty cool and also works as a television sound system.
Great video but just a quick suggestion for the power, I would use a PC power supply. You can buy 800-1500 watt units for a reasonable price and that would be rms power not max. For years I had 2 kicker 12" subs running off a 650 watt antec power supply and I never got any clipping on the amp. A quality 850 watt PSU would give you around 70 amps on the 12 volt rail, with a 1300 watt psu you could push over a 100 amps all day long.
LOVE THIS! I have been working on my garage audio setup for a while, and am adding a dedicated sub with a plate amp. I'm using a Home Audio receiver I had laying around, not a car deck. But I also want to build a semi-portable setup to upgrade from my Klipsch KMC3 Bluetooth speaker. The Klipsch is great, but I want more, and it gets a lot of port noise at louder volumes.
This is dope! Solid 👏🏼 work 👏🏼
This is what it looks like to do things right. Attention to detail makes a big difference.
I did something like this 3 years ago. Was needing something to play music at a good volume for extended time while camping with my buddies. Yours looks way nicer than mine, I also have 3 chambers but my center chamber is a 10” JL subwoofer.
Ha I did the same thing built a Bluetooth boom box, while under lockdown lol... always love seeing your ideas
Hi Mark I love the quality work fantastic perfect just the way I like 👍I have 2 30 year amps punch and still working 💪thanks for the help
Nice been thinking of doing a shop system. looking forward to seeing the matching sub box
This is the first time I think I’ve ever seen you do something like this
Man, THAT is SUPER, SUPER 😎 COOL. Good job.
Your attention to detail is amazing. I’d love to see what you could do with marine audio applications.
Very nice Job Mark !!!!!! Turned out sweet
Yes! Build a matching sub box! Beautiful build man!
Hey Mark if you have more "old sets of speakers" like those send some my way lol I didn't notice anyone in the comments or you give any mention to that set. Those are the Orginal focal polyglass components! I to have a set of them sitting on a shelf. Pretty close to the same but mine are the 3 ways with the 3" also. They were my first set of high-end components that I bought years ago. I ended up putting them in for only about a week and putting my RF T165s set back in. I liked them better. Was actually disappointed in the focal set after the cost of them and all the hype. Now they just sit in the Box I put them online for sale for a little bit for like 400 and they wouldn't even sell LOL so now I just keep him because they're cool so you have a set. Since then I've boughten a bunch of different sets of high-end and my favorite to this day still is the Rockford Fosgate T Ford I never got the chance to get a set of the t5's although I did get my hands on two of the Crossovers but never used them and they got dropped in the box and all damaged. Well enough Babel from me, thank you for making these videos and showing us your craft you are one-of-a-kind!
Yes a sub is a must. On a side note.. your old speakers are my daily speakers in my 01 GMC.. and ofcourse tweets are clothed and in the pillars not the doors.. great speaker.. thanks man.. been a long time since I have seen the chrome on the back side.
.
Fuckin' finally someone builds a boombox and isolates the speakers with their own compartments from each other instead of letting them muddle each others' sound by sharing the same enclosure.
Dude where have you been & who you subbed to??? It's BEEN around since eversince🙄
thank you so much for this video i want to do a project like that and was looking online ,and boom here you spot on as always i do enjoy your videos.i am about to install a system in my minibus and i will be following your advice/video well done blessings from Barbados
Yooo this is so helpfull i was watching this for a small portable speaker build but this has a lot of healpful stuff for my bigger one too
Wicked
Very impressive finished product
Amazing! Definitely excited to see that sub box!
This is the ultimate upgradable stereo system, period. Even the possibility of connecting to a subwoofer monoblock amp has been considered in the design. Would be great to have one for home use. I am sure the sound quality is better than most run-of-the-mill home stereos.
Would love to see your matching sub box!
You are the best !! Much love and respect from mexico
Just what I've been looking for. I had hoped that there was a kit where one could use car Audio components for a home boom box
Mark, near 1/2 a million followers- good job! 🔊🔊
In my workshop I have been using an old System for 10 years. A Sony AM/FM CD player to an old Rockford Fosgate 2 channel ,run to an MB Quarts 6.5 mid.1 inch tweeter. Then the same amp bridged running 12 in Kicker. I use a little motorcycle battery hooked up to a Battery Tender to run the system.
yours looks better....but mine is fine!
That’s so badass. I don’t have any spare speakers or HUs, but you’ve inspired me to never throw throw any away. If I ever get some, I may have to give this a shot, even though it won’t be near as pretty as yours lol.
Ironically I been wanting to do this myself after seeing a bunch of homemade boomboxes on UA-cam. I'm just not good with all the small electronic pieces they used on other videos so it had me wanting to do one more like this.
Thank you for this information! I am an audiophile and I build my own extreme stereos.
That’s skill! Great video mark
I did 2 of this already I have one inside my house all set up a 2 channel with a 12” sub and a 4 channel with a extra internal audio battery. My set up sounds a lot better than my car 😅 love to see you’re work I just wished I had you’re type of wood work skills.
Not only that it looks good (and probably sound good too).
It also has maintenance access. That's always a must to me.
I get the idea that your channel is going to make me want to spend money I don't have! Way back in '96 I had a blue Dodge 1500 with Shelby stripes. My local shop (Sound Obsessions) ordered 10 JL Audio 18W6 subs. They only ended up using 8 in their Blazer so they installed the remaining 2 in my regular cab 1500. I ended up losing my centre seat to a full time centre console to fit the box, but damn! So low! PPI monoblock amp.
Anyways. After that trip down memory lane I've found your channel. We'll see where this goes! Love your videos!
Just badass!!! I’m gonna do same thing with a old Unic amplifier 150w bridgable but instead of using car battery I’m gonna use 12v regulated power supply. Awesome job
Very clean nice work! Def gotta make a matching sub box
best job i watched, in my life beautiful project
Only thing that’s missing is a heavy duty boombox handle on the top for moving it around. with rechargeable speakers coming in all shapes and sizes, I’m actually surprised that no one on eBay or Amazon has created a mass produced speaker box for (add your own) single or double-din 12V radios with a corded or rechargeable power source.
I've been thinking on how to make a book box out of car audio equipment for the past couple of weeks and here you go!
Yes! I would love to see how you add a sub to this AC system, I've thought about doing this for years! I was going to use an old JL 10 and a Kenwood amp, but the DC power supply was hella expensive! Also thanks for the box design (EMF Banhammer 15), it's built (yay!) but I'm still working on the rest of the install (including my first basic custom center console)
I used a RV power converter not that expensive
Very nice, detailed.
U did a good job man I appreciate it
Made one of these years ago with 2 pc power sources and a 1000 watt amp with subwoofer connections on the side. Got a few party’s shutdown with that thing. Now I see everyone making them. Still haven’t seen anyone that matched the power mine put out
Awesome job the speakers look awesome and very impressed on the work you did
Really appreciate that thank you!
Ay good idea good job on the fab work 👌
Really nice project!
wow very intricate design ...
Thanks again for another awesome video
My idea is using a sealed prefab box with a light duty 8-12" DVC sub and a pair of conventional 4ohm indoor/outdoor speakers mounted to the sides, a head unit mounted on top and inside a sealed case that flips open. Another case mounted on the rear could hold a 12v power supply and/or a battery plus accessories, and the whole damn thing can fit on folding 2-wheel cart or small furniture dolly.
I would install conventional speaker terminal cups on the top case for L/R speaker & Sub outputs, and use binding posts with plastic screw-down caps to connect the battery, all relatively sealed up for outdoor use. I'd also have accessories to connect the HU directly to a car battery for tailgating purposes.
I definitely want to see a sub box added to this! I’d like to see if you can do the same idea with a DC adapter on an amplifier as well as the head unit
Now ... mark ... has took it to the nxt level...
this is cool, i'm right in the middle of my own portable bluetooth boombox too! really wish i had access to a laser cutter for accents like this, really neat and clean :)
Very nice idea. Great video.
Well done!
I plan on doing this because I don’t want to mess with my OEM LS430 sound system. If I want to play my music when I’m parked up, I can do so.
I got a few projects....I'll stop by soon to use the shop!....if only. Like the look of the box coating...I'll probly use it for my next project.
I love it!!! You should definitely do the subwoofer
