Default Custom box

Last year a made a custom audio box out of a tool box. The thing was awesome. People would stop on the trail and drink beers with our group just cause of the music. I don't know how many free beers I got and even was flashed a pair of sweater monkeys once. (the wife was not impressed) Anyway The box was destroyed when I was pulling a guy out and the hook that was connected to his bike came off and blew a hole through the box. So here I am with all the hardware in perfect working order, just no box to house it. I am looking for ideas to create a new enclousure for the radio. It is 2 6x9s and a small amp. Thanks in advance.

Rich I can't use the one on ebay because of my snorkle. I have thought about ammo cans and haven't seen the plastic ones are they the same measurements as the real ones. I have a couple of those. Keep the ideas coming guys.

um, why not just buy another tool box just like the one you had, swap the stuff over?

Looks like it would be cheap, portable, and an easy way to get going again.

I was going to do another toolbox but I am one of those guys who can't leave stuff alone. I bought the stuff for the front rack and will probably start it later this week. Thanks for the input.

Use an empty 1/4 beer keg, its stainless and you would have surround sound with 4 speakers lol.
