With summer on the horizon it’s time to start thinking about outdoor leisure. [x2Jiggy] is chomping at the bit having recently completed this project. It’s a portable stereo that also gives you somewhere to sit.
Unlike several of these types of project, he didn’t build the system inside of a cooler. Instead, the chassis was built from scratch using MDF. This material is strong and easy to work with, but we’d bet the finished case is a beast to haul around because of the weight. At least there’s a heavy-duty manage on either side so that you and a buddy can split the burden. One great perk is that it’ll make a strong yet comfortable seat thanks the padded and upholstered top.
The audio components that went into it are all automotive parts and shouldn’t mind being jostled during transport. A computer PSU supplies the 12V needed by the stereo. but there are a couple of external rail connections if you want to haul around a 12V battery instead.
