Though it may only last a few days, what better way to bring the beats to a Halloween Party than through a stereo with pumpkin enclosures? Steve Meade did just that with 500 watts driving a main channel, crossover, and a subwoofer. To boot, the whole system is powered internally by its own battery.

I particularly like how Steve carved insets for the speakers with a razor blade — not the easiest thing to do. The final look is sharp, and the sound seems utterly bone-rattling.
