Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Minirig 4 with subwoofer ranks #5 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $290; the Tribit Stormbox Blast ranks #2 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $199.99.
The Minirig 4 with subwoofer is the lighter option. 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 at 12 lbs (5.45 kg). Watch for: Not stereo, app is buggy.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast is the tougher option. A boombox with bass and volume that rival bigger party speakers, quite neutral sound, and a 30 hour battery. It is rated IPX7 against Splash resistant for the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. Watch for: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5kHz.
Buy the Minirig 4 with subwoofer at $290 if you want a large speaker. Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast at $199.99 if you want a boombox speaker instead.
