Ghetto-Blaster and Wogbox are only a few nick names for the popular top of the line Sony Boom Box of the days. Booms not only let you listen to songs on the radio at clear and loud volumes but also gave you the option of listening to your eight tracks early on, cassette tapes and the the newest your compact discs as well as using cassettes or compact discs that are blank to record and make mix jams.
Sony is the best known manufacturer of our version of the Boom Box for its loud yet clear volume, massive hot looks and the features that they included within the different models. You don't have to be a teenager to own one as many adults still have their classic vintage ones still in working order.
Most of these extreme jamming machines can run by plugging in with adapter to wall electrical outlets but are best known for running on batteries of the 12-volt or the D-size which needs about ten. Carrying your own box around wherever you went is what made these so sought after.
Most run off of D batteries and will take at least nine or more but last for hours upon hours and some will use the 12 volt battery types. All have the added adapter to link to box and use inside or around electrical wall outlets too. Many movies in the eighties as well as the emergence of music videos with hip hop and pop showed the Boom Box being enjoyed and danced to whether it was break-dancing or robotic moves you were busting a move to.
Companies then began competing against one another as to who could make the largest, loudest, most bass sounding, most extreme flashy design and the clearest sounding box of all. In the later years price became a factor on the markets and the electronic companies took note and started a new competition in the lowest price with the best quality.
Smaller more portable sound machines which used earphones and batteries were also gaining in popularity among the musical lovers of the day. These were much smaller than their predecessors and could be held in your hand or placed in a coat or sweater pocket for ease of use. They were available in different colors as well which really appealed to the younger generation.
Sony Boom Box was the most popular and still is today. Sophisticated versions with even more features included graphic equalizers, sound with LED or analog levels, speakers that were bigger and could be detached and inputs for either microphone's or earphones. The very special more extreme models even had 8-track tape players, television screens which played black and white or a record player turntable which played your favorite vinyls.
