$30,000 Coffin With Built-In Sound System

 

A Swedish inventor has created a musical coffin - with an in-built stereo sound ­system.

Fredrik Hjelmquist says his CataCombo Sound System is the ideal gift for music lovers who do not want to rest in peace.
It allows people to compile their own personal playlist before they die so their ­favourite music can be streamed into their grave.

The system even allows relatives to update the songs for their dearly departed via Spotify and a Catatomb app, using a touchscreen built into the headstone.

The music is piped into the coffin via two-way front speakers, four-inch midbass drivers, "divine" tweeters and "a hell-of-an-eight-inch subwoofer", its maker says.

Music and video equipment store owner Hjelmquist said his hi-fi coffin would entertain the dead and provide solace for grieving friends and relatives by making it possible for them to alter the deceased's playlist online. 

The coffin, which retails for about $30,000 boasts two-way front speakers, 4-inch mid bass drivers, a wide range tweeter with external cooling, an 8-inch sub bass element and more.
