A clipping amplifier is very bad for speakers and a large amp, by its self never hurt a speaker. If you drive any speaker too hard you can cause damage. The P.audio bass driver is rated for 100W. so you should be fine there. I don't know what tweeters you have so you will need to do some research there.

Has anyone ever used a bank of 18650 cells to power one of these? It seems like quite a compact power source.

Plenty people have, but it isn't that popular with the fullsize Boominator because the weight savings are minimal and they are relatively expensive.
Headway cells (38120) are a better options here. For the Micro it is an excellent idea. I'm constructing a pack with Panasonic cells ATM.

Sorry, I am actually using an Amp6.
It is loud but sometimes it can clip if the import source is too high.
I was looking at using the following two items:
Kistradio en Kratradio Specialist - Modules - Boost Converters - 300W Boost Converter 12V naar 18V, 24V, 30V, 36V en 48V
&
Kistradio en Kratradio Specialist - Modules - Versterkers - Sure 2 X 100Watt Class-D Audio Amplifier Board
Would this help or would it just blow the speakers?

Excellent option. If you can I would go dual battery to avoid the extra cost and ineffiency of the boost converter. 24V is about the maximum you can go without exceeding the speakers excursion limit.

I have two questions..

1 : whem im sodering in the resistor between the hp10w and the tweeters,, where do i put it? On the + or the - ? Been looking around on different pictures, and have seen both. Is it safe to assume thats it doesnt matter wich pole i chose to put it on?

2: for some reason i cannot see any of the pictures on the first post saturnus has made in here.. Its just a frame that says "click here and discover imageshack"
Am i using a wrong browser, or are they just outdated? :)

Much love <3

Regarding the original pictures. Imageshack claims to store pictures indefinitely. I guess indefinitely in their opinion that means about 4 to 7½ years. it was about 4 years before the first couple of pictures didn't work and now all have gone. Something to consider if you want to store digital pictures for extended periods. In any case the online pictures lasted much longer than the hard drive they were originally on which had a catastrophic failure with all the platters inside turned into tiny shards.
