With the items you have bought or intend on buying, I really don't know why you're posting your question here. This thread is discussing my specific design, and possible alternatives. That it sometimes goes off topic is fine by me though.
Anyways, you should probably check out Festival anlæg guide, that's an ok guide on how to build a low-cost low-quality festival stereo (in Danish though).
This might be a retarded questions, but I really need to be sure what im doing.
The P.audio HP-10W are speakers? Fully functional speakers that play music and not only bass or diskant or something. So if we build a box with 2 x HP-10W and nothing else speakerwise, we got a box that can play music decent?

Im getting confused because this site list it under "bas" units :S

Hey everyone.
Got the rest of box together today, wired all the speakers and it works like a charm! And again, wow it plays load.
A thing I wondered is; do I charge the batteries while they are in parallel so they have the same charge on them both? will there be any damage if i do so? Im using 2 x 7,4 Ah 12V sla

The HP10w is a bass/midrange driver capable of playing frequencies up to around 4-5000 hz.. You'll need a tweeter to play higher frequencies.. In the Boominator we use a piezo tweeter as they are easy to work with an don't require a fancy crossover or anything other than maybe a resistor in series..
If you just put the HP10w in a box without a tweeter you will get music, however it will be lacking a lot of sound in the upper register..
Another question has popped up.
I only had "hifi" speaker grills at home, not the PA ones.
So I intended to have the grills mounted on the outside of the box.
But after some testing I agree with Saturnus that grills mounted on the inside is much better looking. So I started drilling holes in the grill rims to mount them on the inside. So far so good.
But a problem that might occur is if the woofer cones move too much they might hit the grill. Do you know how much "clerarance" I need from the woofers to the grills to be 100% safe?

Its fine to charge them while they are in parallel.. If you stack the batteries inside the boominator you should solder the wires to the poles and knock the poles down flat while using as short wires as possible..
Ok, but you understand my concern right?

You see the 2 different grill types there, if you zoom into the image. The PA grills are elevated while the hifi grills are more or less "flat".

Yeah but if you notice the pictures of the original, I also used the same "hi-fi" grills from ljudia they sent me instead of their PA grills as those were out of stock at the time. I understand your concern, and I had the same concern but I haven't experienced any problems, and it's my opinion that it's simply not possible. With the watt levels we're using here it's simply not possible for the driver to max out it's excursion, and even if it did, I still don't think it would actually be enough.
I've made a Facebook page for The Boominator.. It will be easier to share pictures there and arrange a meetup without hogging this thread

Im pretty sure im driving you guys mad
Ehm... if I use 2 x HP10W, then which one of theese two tweeters would be good to buy also?

Got a couple of questions with my build:
1. Got my HP10W today but I'm not sure if there should be a hole in the center brace matching up with the hole in the magnets, or should I just glue everything to a solid plywood?
2. How should the wires be attached to the drivers? There are just 2 small plates with a hole in each sticking out from each pole. What kind of wire should I get?
3. How is the resistor to the tweeter supposed to be series connected? Isn't the resistor just a small wire with the resistance in the middle? Do you solder the speaker wire and the resistor wire together? :S

I have wrote to Saturnus in person, but maybe there are someone else than him that lives in Copenhagen. We would like to pay a guy a few hundred or maybe buy him some beers if anyone could use 30 minutes and help us with the wire job and such.
We are really lost about the resistor part and have no idea how we connect all the things.

Thats how you connect the wires/resistors.
