The design of this Bluetooth Boombox Speaker is ‘Vintage Inspired’ for a trendy retro appearance. It uses a 2x15Watt Class-D bluetooth amplifier and two full range drivers from Dayton Audio. I finished the enclosure in a light blue colour and aluminium accents in the form of a volume control knob and feet. To top it off, I fixed a dark brown leather carry handle on the top.
