    If you go to some of those "wholesalers" on Harwin, you can probably still find some ridiculous boomboxes. I'm talking "portable" radios with 12 inch woofers. :D


    Said Superman had come to town to see who he could rock
    He blew away every crew he faced until he reached our block
    His speakers were three stories high with woofers made of steel
    And when we boys sit outside, he said "I boom for real"

    "Arguably, one of the finest boomboxes of all time--Panasonic's RX-7700. Priced at a whopping $700 in 1981, this system performed as well as it looked. Features included AM/FM/SW reception, twin antennas, three meters, side handles, exceptional tuning and recording capabilities and gorgeous looks. If there were one ghetto blaster to obtain, this might be it."
