Hi guys,

Here is another bluetooth boombox build - for your entertainment.

My goal for this boombox is to have decent power, decent sound quality, feature passive radiators and be sort of durable for outdoor purposes. I also aim to complete the build pretty quick. I already have an amp and power supply which I'm planning on using, the amp is a TDA7492P based amp and the power supply a Dell laptop charger. The charger gives a good output of 19.5V and 9.23A, I'll add a booster eventually to boost the voltage to 24V.

Here's the amp (it also has a handy aluminium case - not shown):

For the speakers I bought some DD Audio 6.5" component speakers (http://ddaudio.com/products/global/redline-speakers/rl-cs6-5/), I have a similar pair in my car and for the price they sound really good!

They measure at around 6 ohm at the crossover:

I bought some cheap 8" car subwoofers which I'll be cutting the magnets off to basically turn them into passive radiators - I know it sounds a bit unnecessary, but it's still a cost effective and fast way of getting the parts for the build.

Stay tuned for some more pictures of the progress in the following days. Hope you guys enjoy it!
