A boombox is a piece of audio equipment capable of playing music at high volumes with superior sound quality. In its simplest form, it comprises loudspeakers, cassettes and/or CD players along with a USB port. Designed for portability, this device could be powered by both line current and batteries. The growth and evolution of boomboxes was driven by a desire for louder and heavier bass music. This led to the development of a few significantly heavy and big boomboxes during the late 90s, which required “D” size batteries sometimes up to 10 or more per box while being operated via battery.
