My vintage Samsonite suitcase speaker box I made a few months ago--PIC!

I get asked about this box everywhere I go. Yes, there is an actual MDF custom box inside the suitcase. Hits ok, mainly did it for looks....something different! Thought I would share my idea:

Very cool... Patent that thing and start making some! You could produce period correct "suit cases" for many make/models/years.

Nice work...

So simple, so cool. I like the wooden storage box too.

LOL...I have already been donated some hard case suitcases from members of my Chevy club. Even gave one to my brother for his 1966 Mustang. It is cool to do something new that I have never seen.
