take a guess at the super grail

[floyd]

my very rare and powerful and finely built machine is finally in hands and now its my turn to torture you with the guess the boombox frustration quiz,

the only clue is that it is featured heavily in this thread .

So you got your hands on the Mars...OR

The El-Poco.....OR

My final answer is the Aiwa Carryin' Compo.

 

[floyd]

it is the mars!.

 

[redbenjoe]

how does it really sound compared to your fleet of m90s
and your other great stuff ?

 

[Reli]

nice....did u get it from skippy?

 

[floyd]

yes it came from skippy, the speaker upgrades i do to this will take it to the next level. it has sealed wood cabinets almost .65 cu ft perfect for real bass drivers like some old skool kickers. and 8 inch speakers ,even at only 8 inches those kickers will whoop the snot out of any other boom box speakers.oh and i plan to make it portable and battery powered because i can swap the components over to modern 12 volt units and that's the biggest reason i wanted it was to have a ready made battle star that i can customize and return to normal if needed.

 

[oldskool69]

Wait...and I know you are the shiznit of creating bass monsters...but the MARS is like unobtanium isn't it? Wouldn't this qualify for just a gentle massage?

 

[floyd]

yeah true but i want options , i tired of big heavy crap that only plays fm and cassettes, would be nice to modernize it and i can always just put the original comps in if i wanted too. i have all the parts.

Wow, that thing looks hardcore.
It looks like a piece military equipment, it gives new meaning to "built like a tank"

 

[floyd]

it is a tank and the only plastic part is the clear glass on the deck door. no other plastic at all. had a wood case with sealed speaker cabinets,and the cabinets are bigger than they look because they extend to under the tape deck area.

I read somewhere that this Mars box weighs an incredible 30 kilos, is that correct Floyd?

I used to think my GF-777 was a heavy box at 12 kilos! The JVC DC-7 is very heavy for its size at 18 kilos.

oh its heavy but i think my dc 7 and pc 55 weigh a bit more. i put the mars up on my shoulder and it seemed fairly manageable just cumbersome , but you won't go far carrying it ,after 10 feet you realize you made a mistake lol.
