Collecting Ghetto Blaster Vintage Boomboxes

Ranked #923 in Music, #23,866 overall

I'm a Boombox Addict!

Here's my collection of Boombox fun on the web. At least I'm not alone in my obsession over these too big music blasting things. They come in all sizes and shapes, although the ones I'm most attracted to are the one from the 1980s, usually with lots of speakers, lots of chrome, and of course a tape deck or two! A line in is an added bonus, so I can play them from my ipod or home sound system!

However, I might have to check out the Lasonic i931, which is a brand new boombox with an iPod cradle! It is in the same old-school ghetto blaster style but with modern day tech!

"I will share Gizmodo's sentiment about this product 100%. This booooombox doesn't have to sound like a Harmon Kardon system. All it has to do is look good next to cardboard and play N.W.A., Nolan Thomas, Warren G and Kenny Loggins the way they were meant to be heard. That, it does." - Amazon Customer Review
