The aggressively-styled CFD-G505 Xplod® Boombox has a large 100mm Power Drive Woofer for excellent bass response. Its portable design and simple plug-and-play integration with digital music devices make it easy to listen to your favorite music no matter where you are. Using the CD player/ dual stereo cassette deck is very convenient with the included 10-key Direct Access™ remote control. Listen to a CD-R/RW or 30 preset (10AM/20FM) radio stations through high-powered 20W total RMS speakers.
Almost awesome, but ultimately not.

Summary
First things first: I bought this unit to replace my old CFD-G500 (basically same unit) so obviously I do think the device has merit. Initial Experience It comes out of the box like you'd expect any boombox to. Nothing special...
Strength
Line-In, Remote, Good sound for a boombox.
Weakness
Huge/Heavy, No MP3, still sounds like a boombox.
Bottom Line
Sounds good for a boombox, and has line-in. If that's what you want, this will do it. If money's no object, get the JVC $250 one.
This machine sounds very good. I wanted a high power machine with realistic watts - this one offers that feature. The bass is a plus-it's rich, but not bloated! There are flaws here. It's no lightweight! The red light on the front of the machine when...
Strength
The sound is worth the money asked for the product.
Weakness
Weight, RED Light for bass activation is an eye sore!
If you like Dodge Trucks, real beer, and other cool things, you'll like this bad boy. Yeah, it is big, but it also sounds REALLY GOOD. There are a bunch of sound settings, including WOOFER, for minimal, moderate, or mega bass. The unit has both...
Strength
Great sound, looks really cool (neon light in front), remote.
Weakness
Very large, no MP3 (on CD). Too much for girly men. :-)
Rugged looking, VERY good sound for a boombox, line in for mp3 player or other source (TV/DVD/VCR sound). The tuner is extremely powerful compared to my last Sony boombox that lasted 12 years. It pulls in ALL my stations with the antenna in most...
Strength
VERY good sound, line in, tuner power, digital tuner.
Weakness
No clock, acquired taste on looks for some, no mp3 off CD-R CD-R/W.
