help with a ghetto blaster

May 18, 2004 1 Replies

I have a little project but am stumped because I know nothing about electronics. Here is the rub: my friend and I are trying to build a portable super ghetto-blaster. Essentially it will be a sound system housed in a 3 or 4' plywood box and could be carted in the trunk of a car. It will be powered by a car battery hooked up to as many speakers as possible. I am not sure of the best way to go about this, but I imagine the contents will include a Discman style cd player, car battery, speakers, some kind of amplifier, something to convert power from the battery to everything else. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adrian

So, basically you want a car audio system, without the car. Fine; buy a car audio system, and mount it in a box. Anything else will be a waste of your time and money.
