Originally, they were to be themed for his favorite game. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that favorite games change way too often. So instead, I decided I would make it themed for his favorite console, the Xbox, even if I still prefer Playstation. So that is how I came up with this custom creation. The base of it is Paul Carmody's sprite boombox. I just redesigned the size and used individual cabinets instead of a boom box. I also had to redesign the port. I made it rear firing and used PVC pipe for it. Anyway, this is the first speaker I design like this, so I would appreciate your thoughts. I designed an X on either side, to keep up with the theme. It is not perfect, but I learned a lot from it. And the best part, he loved them! *P.S. I should mention i was very disappointed with the Xbox decals. They came from Ebay and were not at all as I expected. I almost took them off, but decided against it. Parts Used: 2 Speaker terminals of your choice. 2 https://www.parts-express.com/dayton...8-ohm--290-210 1 https://www.parts-express.com/dayton...odule--300-385 1 https://www.parts-express.com/lavolt...alone--073-076 2 https://www.parts-express.com/parts-...black--060-776 2 https://www.parts-express.com/21mm-p...jack--090-5012 1 https://www.parts-express.com/35mm-s...-jack--090-317 2 https://www.parts-express.com/dayton...sistor--004-20 2 https://www.parts-express.com/jantze...-coil--255-046 2 https://www.parts-express.com/parts-...-cord--090-489 1 https://www.parts-express.com/21mm-i...jack--090-5008
