It’s a dangerous world out there. So dangerous, in fact, it’s extremely vital to guard your favorite tunes with the most secure sound system around. Wait, what?

Is that really necessary? No. But it is really awesome.

Makers of the acclaimed iBox have used an original ammo box to create a hardcore variation of an iPod amplifier. Thodio’s new ammo boom box, or A-BOX, is constructed from steel and Kevlar. And while it looks pretty menacing, it’s not exactly bullet proof. Sorry folks.

Good news is that it can be connected to any iPod or MP3 player. Bad news? To look this cool is pricey. The two models sell for $339 (25-watt amplifier) and $475 (70-watt amplifier). And that’s just an introductory price!

Then again, think about how terribly sweet it will be at your next backyard get-together. Totally worth it. Right?

And after the transformation…
