Which Kaboom is the best for BASS/POWER?

[Cpl-Chronic]

Was thinking about getting a Kaboom of my own but wondering which model has the most power/bass or best sound. I'm guessing all have an AUX input for Phones/MP3 players etc. so my only concern is power & sound. If there's other things to consider, let me know of course...

Thanx,

DP200 for sure

 

[Reli]

DP100 and DP200. They are the same except for cosmetics.

Unlike other Kabooms, those have adjustable mids & highs.

 

[Northerner]

Yeh when you adjust the mids/highs that makes all the difference sound-wise

 

[Fatdog]

I agree with everyone above. Trust them; they know what they are talking about.

 

[Northerner]

Well I was so impressed with the DP200 that despite thinking it looks like sh1t I bought another lol

 

[redbenjoe]

agree about the 200 -
but for pure bass & power - ALL the full size old kabooms are identical

 

[Cpl-Chronic]

Ok, so who can list all the 'Full size old kabooms...which are good & which 1's are crap???

DP-100 & 200's are best??

 

[Radio raheem]

had em all, agree with everyone, dp200 100 is the way to go

 

[Mystic Traveller]

Yep, agree with all gents.

I had the same question recently, to pick the best Kaboom sound wise, read some reviews
and after that focused my search at JVC RV-DP200BK.

A couple of weeks ago scored this beast, boxed, barely ever used, with all accessories.
All these years this Kaboom was sitting in a box on a cupboard.

For what it's worth i haven't heard the DP200 or DP100 but have heard they are the best.

I do have both the older 52W Kaboom with tape and the newer 40W one with the Ipod dock and the 52W one is substantially more powerful sounding with much deeper bass, even more so than the figures suggest.

I have now had two of the older ones with cassette and they are stunning sounding boxes. I would look out for one of them to as they are easier to find and look slightly better. My 52W one is khaki green and looks a bit military hehe.

I would get a DP100/200 but they are so damn ugly with those decals, icky.

Cool! Is it RV-B90?

 

[Reli]

The DP-200 is the only one with a VU meter

i had 2 dp200 and gave them away in the end because altho they sound great i agree there just to damn fugly, and one was boxed like MT's picture above

there is one better kaboom than all of them tho, the md5 but it's minidisk and cd, no cassette and it's mains only

 

[Vintage Man]

The original Kaboom is the one. Killer bass.

 

[Mystic Traveller]

and gave them away in the end

I thought about removing decals on DP200 first but then decided against it as I will part with this "Tube" as we call it
sooner or later for some other toy so let it stay original.

 

[Northerner]

I took the tacky decals off

 

[Radio raheem]

It's not just the decals guys, it's those dreadful tacky drumads and such lol and both of mine were chewing tapes
