Well, they don’t actually tell you how to make it, some reader wrote in from Sweden showing off his latest creation. Although there are apparently specs so you can build you own in his Flickr account.
It looks like either a guitar amp or some other professional grade speaker that the guy built in a car radio and cup holders, for beer. I assume there is also a fairly hefty battery built in to power the thing, otherwise its portability is decreased to wherever there is an outlet.
But, supposing it has a battery inside, this would be pretty cool, I mean, it would definitely overpower your run of the mill boom box and it portable enough a couple people should be able to carry it. Plus you’d have use of the top as a table and the cupholders, that has to be the best part.

This post may be a month old, but im the swede who created this thing. The housing is niether a guitar amp nor a pro-speaker, its custom made by me for this purpose and much effort is put into protect it from the various hazards of outdoor parties! It does have a huge 75Ah battery and is fitted with handles for carrying but we usually roll it around on a cart.
Regarding overpowering other boomboxes, this mutes everyrthing portable ive heard, especially cocky people with those JVC tubes. I was very surprised over the amound of sound this thing delivers, it can be heard from blocks away and people use us as navigation on festivals
