Bosch PB10-CD Power Box
This is a fantastic outdoor stereo for your home or cottage. A friend of mine works for Bosch and brought one to the cottage a couple of years back. We couldn’t stop raving about it when we got back home after the weekend.
The Bosch is intended for construction sites so the batteries it uses are the same as you would use for you power tools. The roll bar cage protects the stereo from damage if it were dropped at a site. We actually threw the stereo across the lawn while a CD was playing and it didn’t skip a beat. If you have a mp3 player and a transmitter you really have the perfect outdoor stereo system. Just a great product.
Here are the key features:
- Radio/CD run off Bosch batteries or AC power - 12V, 14.4V, 18V, 24V

Hey - I am an owner of the Bosch Power box (and was also one of the people with your friendly blog-meister here at everydayweekender who was throwing the box around) and I fully back his claims that the box didn’t skip a single beat.
We wanted to see how it would work in the lake….but our Bosch supplier advised that although it is water resistant, a lake might prove far too much for this ‘toy’.
After all of the testing though, i did purchase one for myself. It is great for working in the basement, bringing it out to the backyard, and especially at the cottage! I would recommend this to anyone. I know you can purchase this at the Home Depot for around $250, and if you spend a lot of time outdoors, this is a great purchase.
The one somewhat negative comment I can leave is that the Box itself must be plugged in, in order to use the outlets to run other products (such as charging your cellphone for example). The battery is not quite strong enough to do this on its own.
Crazy about the toss and non-skip. This would be a pretty kick ass stereo for my garage where I hold cock fights.
Wow! I hope carrying this thing through airport checkpoints won’t have any problem as the thing looks something out of this world.
Great post EW! I knew when I read your url that I liked your style. Keep em’ comin.
P.S. great post on horseshoes awhile back.
Hey thanks Corey. I’m always happy to hear there are people enjoying some of the stuff that we post here.
[…] do justice to any of the True Goat Music I was telling you about in earlier post. Here you go, the EverydayWeekender reviews the Bosch PD10-CD Power Box. […]
Hello……….
Question……..I have a 10 year old SONY KEGA-BASS Stereo. I sing out publicly in nursing homes and assisted lliving facilites and some of their ENTERTAINMENT rooms are HUGE! I find that the stereo is cranked to almost where it is distorted and the same with a Radio Shack PA System. That has a lavilier mic cordless mike, but am having problems with the BIG rooms where I sing.
Seeing as to how I sing to the stereo with CD’s……..would you recommend this boombox for this? Would this be REALLY LOUD?
I am 61 years old and unable to carry REAL HEAVY equipment.
Any information would be appreciated on this.
Many thanks!
Mary =)
