There is a scene in Ghost Dog where he has a homemade boombox. It has 2 car speakers, a car amp, and a car stereo/cd head unit. I dont know what kind of power suppy it had. I was just at a BBQ and we wanted to listen to some music from our HD players but we couldnt get good sound out of the cassette adaptor and most boomboxes suck. Maybe for $250 we can build something that sounds good and looks better than a boombox with a cheap HD player through line out to amp to speakers type thing?
I know people here know about car stereo installations and portable gear so maybe you guys can team up and help with this and maybe you can build one on your own for your next barbeque.

Amp: I think for a boombox 40-60wpc will do the trick. Maybe a class D amp will run cooler and use less power? It should also have 2 sets of outputs (1 for maybe a subwoofer later)50
Speaker drivers: I think speakers with clean treble, nice midrange and good bass are a must. Maybe we can keep them under $60
Power Supply something rechargeable or battery powered is good. Maybe a Sealed Lead Acid Battery?
Let me know all of your suggestions.
