These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Minirig 4 with subwoofer ranks #5 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $290; the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 ranks #31 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $279.99.
The Minirig 4 with subwoofer is the lighter pick. A compact speaker and wireless subwoofer pair with some of the most balanced sound available, a long battery and deep, impactful bass. At 3.2 lbs (1.44 kg) it weighs much less than the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 at 19.2 lbs (8.7 kg). The tradeoff: Not stereo, app is buggy.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is the tougher choice. A big, waterproof party speaker with deep bass, very high volume, a 30 hour battery and two mic inputs. It is rated IP67 against Splash resistant for the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Minirig 4 with subwoofer lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. Watch for: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
Buy the Minirig 4 with subwoofer ($290) for a large speaker; the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 ($279.99) suits a boombox speaker instead.
