Custom iPod Boombox Boom Box

Step 6Level 6: Adding a 12V Outlet

We're almost done!

So what if I'm at the beach and my phone battery is dying? I figured since the Boom Box ran on 12V DC (either batteries or DC adapter) I could install a 12V car accessory jack so that I could plug in my phone charger or any other 12V accessory.

The Boom Box runs off of 8 "D" cells, so there is plenty of juice and there's plenty of room inside the case.

Enjoy your new iPod Boom Box with built-in 12V jack!
