Beolab 90 Boombox

A photo of a homemade beolab 90 speaker constructed out of plywood and exposed wiring

This homemade boombox was a submission for the ISRU Boombox Challenge. Inspired by the high-end Beolab 90 speakers, this custom-made version reflects a DIY approach to high-fidelity sound systems.

With real Beolab 90 speakers well outside my means, this backyard rendition ended up with deceptively decent sound quality. It features repurposed drivers, exposed wiring, cheap crossovers, and a gifted audio control panel.

Hi! Subconsciously you already know this, but let's make it obvious. Hopefully this article was helpful. You might also find yourself following a link to Amazon to learn more about parts or equipment. If you end up placing an order, I make a couple of dollarydoos. We aren't talking a rapper lifestyle of supercars and yachts, but it does help pay for the stuff you see here. So to everyone that supports this place - thank you.

You can use the Linktree to find me around the web.
