The JVC RV-NB1 Kaboom Series Boombox is a powerful CD/MP3 portable player with a funky feature -- a built-in guitar amp featuring twin super woofers for massive sound and rich, deep bass tones. This unit will play CDs, CD-R/RWs, and MP3, so you can access your favorite tunes from virtually anywhere in your music library. The RV-NB1 also plays all your old favorites on cassette and delivers clear AM/FM radio. The tuner stores 15 AM and 30 FM stations in its memory for quick tuning at the touch of a button.

Summary

The JVC RV-NB1 is a new version of the original "Kaboom" box that was first introduced some years ago. I first saw that original unit on HSN with a price tag of approx $350. The Kaboom box line may be the most powerful line of boomboxes ever made,...

Strength

Very powerful, very loud. Tremendous bass. High quality. Solidly built. Remote operates Cassette-deck too.

Weakness

Very heavy. Awkward shape. Somewhat unbalanced bass-heavy sound. Pre-set eq controls.

Bottom Line

With the declining boombox market, this Kaboom box is about the best there is out there. Great for parties, garage get-togethers or on the patio.
