Building a boombox is a simple project requiring only a pair of recycled speakers, earbuds, and a box. Hook up an MP3 player with a solar charger and you have a Solar Boombox that lets you play your music anywhere.
Play volume is limited by speaker size, boombox design, and MP3 input. Want it louder? Add a solar powered amplifier to add some extra “boom.” Creativity is not limited. Boomboxes can be built with boxes and speakers of all sizes. Decoration of the device puts your personal touch on your gridfree music player.
