Christer, what do you mean by “soundboks”?

Thanks for your reply Dave

Yea, soundboks is a Danish "sound company" that sells the thing called "soundboks" and "soundboks 2" it's the loudest transportable speaker with a battery. And can play pretty loud (I think); 122 DB.🙂

Build a Boominator

Well that was actually not a bad idea, but I still need to know which subwoofers and stuff I need to buy

Don't buy any subwoofers - the Boominator doesn't use them. It was built for response to 82Hz (see the thread here).

The Boominator - another stab at the ultimate party machine

That's the clever / compromised core of the design. It doesn't even attempt to go low, because that would ruin everything else that's good about the design.

There are lots of variants out there. Many are covered in that thread. You can clone one or make up your own. If $$ is a factor, you can salvage a lot of the parts - e.g. I run an outdoor system with free (used) car batteries.

Thank you!!

To add to the above... Saturnus, creator of Boominator, designed the Soundboks 2 😉

Wow I didn't know that. But is a boominator moveable just like a soundboks, and what kinda battery so I need?

That info is in the boominator thread and the soundboks website.

If you DIY, then the portability and cost and finish quality and time spent will all be closely related.

If you used a bicycle trailer or similar, you wouldn't have to worry so much about weight, and could use cheaper parts.

Okay, i think I will build a boominator then.

Thank you very much for your help guys, you are awesome.
