Planning Portable Speaker Backpack Ma Jiggy

Basically, Summer has arrived, and Days down on the beach it is. So im wanting to mod a Backpack to fit some Speakers into it, pump some tunes while relaxing in the sun.

Got a few Candidate Backpacks, dont want to do it on my new one, but got think 5 Backpacks i could perform it on.

Power will obviously have to be battery, and input via 3.5mm.

Anyone know some Good Portable speakers? Under £10 would be great, need to be tough too.

Then i wanna wire some Rechargable Batteries into a series to give me a longer battery life.

Then place them into the Backpack so they can be heard clearly (Possibly cutout and add mesh)

Then ROCK

Help appreciated

 

Did this a while ago with some smallish speakers which were powered by 4*AA's.
I had a mesh pockets on the side of my bag, and simply placed the speakers in there. (Cut holes in the side of my bag for cable management)

Good luck.

 

I remember Tescos having a mini speaker thingy called Altec iM207 Orbit portable speaker, it looks like a mini sub, cheap unsure what its like, but its with in your budget and easy to mod i bet.

 

I remember seeing something on The Gadget Show about the Altec Lansing iMT237 Orbit, the only thing is that it's £23 at the cheapest (although the sound quality is amazing)

To save budget you could go charity shopping and get a second hand backpack (I got a Targus laptop backpack for £6, I've used it for 3 years and it's still top condition)


Failing that, the Sony TRS-7's are pretty good, and only cost £9.35 off Lambda-Tek


EDIT: Just read Burnout's post, it's pretty much the same speaker, so I'd go for that

 

Ghettoblaster by Drakmin... Build something like this

 

I Have 5 or 6 Backpacks all good to use, Mum decides i need a new Backpack each school year, so got a pile of them

Sony TRS-7's seem good for a cheap price, but then the Altec Lansings are supposed to be really good, and im pretty picky on Audio Quality

Cash is gonna be the main problem.

Ghettoblaster Link is broke.

 

Ah... stupid double http:// now it should work. Its not exactly a backpack, but sounds like your going for the same thing.

 

I noticed the double http, but I got sidetracked by the project itself and forgot to mention it

There's another one to add to the list of projects...

 

Those sonys are alright, not the best, i have a pair and they have NO bass. There is a white sony bar that is slightly better...

 

As soon as I convince my dad to give up his 15 year old speakers, I am gonna build one of those boomboxes... Omg.. Its cool
