hey guys, my friend and i are planning to build an "all-in-one party boombox"
in other words, we want to take a nice big box, use the top for a table and put speakers, amps, cd player etc inside the box.
it would also be great to shove a cooler box in there so us guys by the BBQ can get to cold beers with ease.
i am just wondering if the sub vibrations will affect the beers in the cooler box - i REALLY don't want exploding beers!!!

well it is going to be quite big because the top will be used as a table (for drinks, meat, chips etc). the plan is to make it just small enough to fit in the back seat of a car.
for sound we have one JVC 12" sub ( its a car sub, but its all we got), and an old car radio with 12 cd changer - the cd changer still works well, just as long as it stays upright and doesn't get knocked too hard
i am still looking around for an amp for the 12".
I am also a bit weary of the liquor being so close to the sound system - i might have to try and "splash-proof" it.
i really want to try and keep everything together as one piece - but if i cant then i will just have to live with it

but i suspect it will require exhaustive testing to ensure the beer isn't shaken up too much...

Lol it is a little off topic, but as a kid, I worked at Backsberg cellars for pocket money. They did not only make wine, but also champagne, in the Method de champenois (sp.)...
Sometimes I had to go fetch wine from the freezer room for the tasteing venue... This room was dead centre in one aisle between the champagne bottles. On one such a trip ... while inside the room, I heard a noise outside.
I opened the door to find one of the bottles exploded so hard it lodged pieces of glass into the wood.... I made a point of moveing very fast past those bottles from there on..

gees if i could get this boombox to 170+ db's i wouldn't waste it on keeping beers cold - id use it to keep the whole neighbourhood awake!!
Nordic - thats EXACTLY what i don't want to happen in my cooler box, im way too young to die!!
i had an idea of making the woofer box seperate, but with a space in the "party box" so everthing is still together when its in transit.

so it seems it will be better to get a cooler box and put it NEXT to the boombox
i still want to have the cd player in the same box as the woofer - i will just have to test it before making any permanent installations.
and i found an old 4 channel sound to light - i think i will stick that in the box instead of a cooler box.

heh - heh - heh. don't worry, i like quality over quantity, plus i don't have too much cash for massive amps
As for a modular system, well we kinda had that for a while (2 speakers + amp) but the wires get irritating and its also more of a mission to pack up, especially after a few drinks
i want to build a chip amp for the sub, any1 have a recommendation for which chip to use?? the sub is a 12 inch JVC car sub, single voice coil 4ohm 750W. i don't need an amp to blow the sub to pieces (although that would be nice), just something to give it a nice kick
