oldskool-This boombox was quite large.It could have passed for a shelf system had it not been designed for batteries and had attachable speakers.However I have a smaller version in this series that I'm quite sure the company would have considered a boombox.It has the same "grip" areas that could merely pass as part of its styling.I personally like a clear cut definition for everything.Unfortunately,thats often times not realistic in the real world unless there is a desire to tighten up loosely used terms.


One interesting thing about this box was the Turbo-Bass Generator.You'll notice in this picture that there is no pass through for the air displaced by the woofers when the speakers are attached.For this reason it couldn't function as a port.When I saw this I just laughed figuring it was a gimmick much like a fake hood scoop on a car.After I left the store I began to consider the possibility that the main unit actually has a subwoofer inside at the very bottom to take advantage of this port.Has anyone actually seen that in a boombox.

I only consider a True boombox; being a Boombox
that DOES not have a cd player in it
Line in input's & output's sure but no actually
cd player in it as most of the
Boombox's that I have played my music in that had a
cd ,,, I Always try to play my Boris Midney cd in it & the cd skipped
as the bass of that music made the box skip the cd ....
SO Nope it's not a Boombox :-) unless it DOESNT Have a cd in it ...
Only Cassette's in a True Boombox as CASSETTE's RULE !!!! :-) James
