JOhn...The cadence kit includes crossovers? Is that what you are saying?

So..I have the 5 speakers...if I get this amp...will it run 5? And also, where can I get the correct crossover? Thanks man.
JC

A crossover for 5 speakers is going to cost you upwards of at least $50. And you are going to need one amp for your stereo main channels and another monoblock amp for your infamous "5th speaker" which I suspect is a 10 inch woofer. Your system is highly inefficient.
 
Those are a great deal too. I would have to compare them side by side.
So far I am blown away by the CWM-6KIT. Great build quality for under $60.

Hi,

I agree you get a lot for your money, but I don't like the look of the c/o's.
The other kit appears to have more money spent on the c/o's and less
on the drivers, IMO a far better bet. Apparent value isn't always.
I'd say you need a measuring set up for the CWM-6Kit and c/o rework.

rgds, sreten.
 
And that componentry will allow me to use what I have? One set of speakers are 4ohm.
Here is what I will order:

1... 2 way crossover. 8 0hm
1 crossover for a 4ohm.
1 amp6 basic assembled (this will run 5 speakers?)
1 battery--that you listed.
1 charger that you listed.

Is this correct?

Thanks John...I am sure this is beyond annoying for you. I appreciate it.

I ordered a pair. WTF. Let's see. I am sure they will sound great in my future boombox project. Project Featherweight. Originally designed as a 2.1 system. Let's see what the weight comparison (two lightweight woofers VS one DVC large magnet woofer) turns out in the end.

Hi,

Its not clear what parts you currently have if any. Its not clear for what purpose.

I'd say take a deep breath and start again. What battery life do you want ?
What sort of volume do you want ? What sort of bass capability do you want ?
What sort of form factor do you want ? What is the thing actually for ?

For the last you cannot describe it by suggesting something is the answer.

rgds, sreten.
