I wanted to make a personal soundsystem to be able to walk around with. I decided the briefcase was the perfect starting point for a boombox project. I began designing the briefcase boombox by making rough sketches on the back of a scrap piece of wood. I began by gutting the briefcase to allow for more usable space.
