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. 😆

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!

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 .

Kicker is one of the best values on the market.

Now you should get one of those ammo boxes that are about twice the size of this one and make a powered subwoofer!

@jameskc3oxn976 3 ай бұрын

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

The POTA ghetto blaster! Awesome video Mike! Only a little sad no safety squints were used in the making of this video.

All that work you did and you didn't have to use any band aids. Great job. I always nick myself on the sharp edges.

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.

@OscarFlores-wn7sr 5 күн бұрын

Have you tried building one that you can link together with more than 1 ammo can speaker? I would love to see what you would use. Thanks

@ndkohlman 3 ай бұрын

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.

wow , you got skills KILO MIKE. I need you to build me a go-box for my CB RADIO.

Would the aux work with the ext spkr output on our radios? Not sure how all the impedence matching would go

@RandellReeder 3 ай бұрын

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

@nandrews8412 3 ай бұрын

Only thing I would add is usb port to keep the phone charged while playing music.

@hamradiotube 3 ай бұрын

I actually added one after I filmed this video. Mostly because it has a volt meter on it but it has 2 usb-c pd and a usb-3 quick charge.

@kc6tyd 2 ай бұрын

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?

@jeffwinget5928 3 ай бұрын

Also, just to say, parts express sells a setup just like this as a kit on their website.

@coryduplichan88 Ай бұрын

Add some insulation and a charging port. The insulation will clean up the sound quality.

@hamradiotube Ай бұрын

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..

What would be a good black plastic box that would fit 2 plye 6.5 150watt marine speakers on the front ?

@paulsweeney2546 3 ай бұрын

Mike, black Sharpie should take care of the speaker screws. Nice job. How long was the build time?

@allysonevarodriguez3903 2 ай бұрын

if you made two can you party mode them to eachother?

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…

@hamradiotube 4 ай бұрын

I watched a couple videos yesterday after I built this that were using plastic boxes and they sounded good too.

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??

@proudtex 3 ай бұрын

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.

How do you charge the battery

@DellFargus 3 ай бұрын

Drill a hole in the back, so it can push some air for bass.

Can PRV midrange, midbass speakers and tweeters be used with this amplifier?

Add some sound baffling.

@Locksnut 3 ай бұрын

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
