where did you get that battery bastanken :) ? - i can't seem to find them in that size in europe anywhere...

I bought them from batteryspace.com
LiFePO4 26650 Battery:12.8V 3300 mAh (42Wh, 7A rate) w. PCB
I also bought a battery charger especially designed for these lifepo4 batteries
Smart Charger (1.5A) for 12.8 V LiFePO4 battery Pack (4 cells,15.2V cut-off) with 5.5mm x2.1mm Male Barrel plug-- CE / UL listed
I have been searhing for them in europe to but couldn't find them anywhere.

You'll need a proper LiFePO4 charge controller, which is designed to run from a solar panel. Charging a LiFePO4 battery without a controller will overcharge it, damaging the battery and possibly even causing a fire, and a "non-solar" charger might not work.

Something along these lines, I hope there's something a bit cheaper out there somewhere:

MPPT Solar Charge Controller for 12.8V LiFePO4 battery pack

Honestly, I'd go with SLA batteries. They're cheap, they're not *that* heavy, and they're fairly tolerant of overcharging - provided your solar panel isn't too big, you can pretty much just connect it to the SLA and not worry.

Okey, I thought a "normal" solar charge controller would work.
As you all noticed I'm not an expert of this.
Is it possible to connect 2 of these 10W, 12V solar panels (24 volt) to the charge controller you linked?

The reason I go with lifepo4 batteries and not SLA batteries is because they are forbidden in some festivals in sweden, so SLA is not an option for me.

One of those panels, or two of them in parallel, will work with that controller. They call it a "12V" panel, but it's maximum power point is actually 17V!

4 Pcs Piezo Tweeters Replacement for Motorola KSN1001A

They write that thse are the exact similar Piezos as the original Saturnus used.. can any one confirm that? it seems wierd cause those are 4 for 18 dollars.. an the here Martin Sound its 1 for 23?

Those you are linking to are replacements tweeters, so they're only a replica of the original. The physical specifications may be the same, but i doubt that the sound quality is as good as the Motorola/CTS originals.

okay.. im getting these parts on x-mas eve:
2x HP-10w
1x Amp6basic
2x QLM-1005 Piezos
and then two of these bassreflex tubes

If the 2 last parts arrent going to be that good then i'll just buy some others that are better.. its not that expensive..

I've read that the QLM-1005 will need some 33 or 47 ohm resistors with 3w .. could i use these then? and how many? RES .47 OHM 3W 5% METAL OXIDE - ERX-3SJR47

i have no idea what i else has to buy :b hehe, but i might order some extra resistors ;)

Saturnus, i cant remember if it was you who wrote something about at thing that would make the sound'siglna' from the ipod or PC louder and deeper.. It was a thing that you connect like this..

aux cabel from pc/ipod ect. into that little thing --> aux cable from the little thing to amp or headphone .. if you understand?

Btw, I bookmarked all the posts from this thread that I found useful in order to build a Boominator - thought I would share It with you guys.

And thanks to all the persons who participated in this thread, especially Saturnus :)
