It sounds like the term has evolved. Many years ago, a
jam box was another word for those portable tape player-radio
combinations one used to see and sometimes hear whether you
wanted to or not on city streets and school grounds. They were
also called boom boxes because the better ones had pretty good
base. The not so better ones just sounded loud and distorted.
They ran on 6 to 8 D-cell batteries so if a tornado came
by, you could hang on to your boom box and stay on the ground.
