I know what you're thinking, "Hey Maxyenko, that's a nice .50 Cal ammo box you got there, but you sure as shit did not build that." And you would be right, I did not build the box, but just look a little bit closer and you'll start noticing things.

Did you find the said "noticeable things" yet?

Well, now you're thinking, "I see some Allen-head screws and two cables. BUT, WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN!" Well, just calm down and look at another view.

A little bit more noticeable now?

"Yes, you stuck two tiny speakers there. Whoopdy-Freaking-Doo. Those are just tiny speakers in an ammo tin. Even if you got that to work with your iPod over on the side, there ain't no way it'll sound even a quarter-way decent." Well, erm, you're kinda right. However, it's a bit more complicated than tha"No, it isn't!"

Shhh! Quiet, You! Allow me to explain, courtesy of another picture.

"OOOOOOoooooooo, Shiny!" Yes that's Dynamat for sound absorption and acoustics.

"And those speakers! There way bigger than I thought, what are they?" 4 inch 2-way Alpine units.

"And an amp, to make the speakers work, I presume." Yes, you are correct.

"But how does it sound? How is this car related? What doth life? And are you a wizard?" One question at a time, please.

Yes, it sounds great, it's loud, and has a surprising amount of base for a pair of 4 inch speakers.

Those are car audio speakers and I thought that this would make a perfect travel speaker, for tailgating, parties, or picnics. This would also make a perfect little sound system for a hot-rod.

42, I think.

No. Just an engineer, who likes to make things.
