There is something to be said for the ability of the boombox to blast music loud enough for the whole neighborhood to enjoy, and with the Blastmaster mobile boombox, this intense sound can be transported anywhere.

A modern take on a retro design, this sound system features [giant speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bromley-750) that work at 2,000 watts with a 12-inch dual-voice coil subwoofer, yet it can also be controlled by a smartphone or MP3 player through its [Bluetooth connectivity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-audio). Four tired wheels and a handle turns this chunky music blaster into a wagon that is conveniently portable so it can be taken to backyard parties, [tailgating sports events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtlebox-gameday-series), barbecues in the park and more.

The Blastmaster mobile boombox comes in four colors ranging from vibrant yellow to basic black.
