<p>Yeah I only ever heard about the boomcases after making my beattaché and the prices are bananas for what it takes to make one yourself. I've put a fair amount of stuff in mine to tidy it up, make it easier to charge, easier to control from the handlebars, etc, and I doubt I've topped $150 total (not including tools), plus anything you build is always gonna be cooler than anything you buy. </p>

<p>Matt:</p>
<p>I like the Double Trouble.</p>
<p>It blasts in 2 directions. That is perfect for projecting forward and backward.</p>
<p>If I can't hear it while I'm riding; then I'm not hauling it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also one could piece together a better system for less $.</p>
<p>The secret is to use cheap 12volt based parts.</p>
<p>The main parts are:</p>
<p>amplifier</p>
<p>battery</p>
<p>speaker cabinet</p>
<p>mixer/preamp</p>
<p>wireless mic</p>

<p>battery</p>
<p>speaker cabinet</p>
<p>mixer/preamp</p>
<p>wireless mic</p>
<p>battery charger</p>
<p>A quick search of just Amazon reveals:</p>
<p>12 volt battery 18-40 amphour size (3) less than 100 </p>
<p>12 volt amplifier 200- 500 watts size (5) less than 100</p>
<p>speaker cabinets (2) less than 100</p>
<p>PMBH839 200-Watt 8'' Speaker Cabinet $48.90 for one! (you can have 1 or 2)</p>
<p>add a small 12 volt mixer/preamp ------<span id="btAsinTitle">Rolls MX28 VI Mixer $75</span> </p>
<p>add a cheap 12 volt wireless mic -- $39 Samson 5H VHF Handheld Wireless System </p>
<p>add a cheap 12 volt battery charger $29</p>
<p>Add a few wires and connectors, that is still less than $550 while you will have a full versatile PA system that will run 10hours+.</p>
<p>If you search some more you could do better.</p>
