Boombox prices got you down? Build your own from recycled junkyard parts.
Murilee Martin on Jalopnik offers up his instructions for making your own boombox out of recycled car parts. Complete with random fuel switches, voltmeter guages and ancient flimsy automotive speakers all in a loosely constructed plywood shell, you can follow his instructions and be the envy of the whole neighborhood. Well, that is if your neighborhood happens to be a trailer park.
