I am trying to make a semi-portable, multidriver speaker. (I am totally new to this subject so I may get some terms wrong). I would like to know what i need. It has to be cheap (it doesn't have to be amazing quality, as long as its fun to make and pretty good). I am hoping to make the enclosure, and wire it all up myself. Would i need: a subwoofer? this? Pyle PLG54 Gear 5.25" Mid Bass Car Sub - Thompsons Ltd, some woofers? these? Boston Acoustics 4 1/2 inch Woofer (pr) High Output 96 dB SPL Electro Mavin - Categories, some midrange? coaxial? these?Pyle PL42BL Blue 4" 180w 2-Way Car Speakers - Thompsons Ltd some tweeters? these? Lanzar TCS 200w Silk Dome Car Tweeters - Thompsons Ltd an amp? Crossovers? battery with trickle charger? wires? i am hoping for it to be horizontal,in wood enclosure and have sub in middle, then woofers either side, then coaxials, then tweeters. would this work? please help me out i have no idea about anything on this subject. remember, im not after audiophile quality, just a bit of a project and pretty good speakers, also i am skint so not expensive please, thanks.
Start with a TA2024 amp from eBay for under $7 shipped. Use 5" to 6" car speakers from an abandoned car, thrift store, or yard sale if you don't already have some lying around. A sub will make it impractically heavy and bulky. For batteries, sealed lead acid is the best match to a 12V amp, but you pretty much have to buy them new. 12V 7AH is a popular size. NiCad or NiMH cells salvaged from a portable tool power pack could work, though charging isn't as straightforward unless you have a smart "hobby charger" like an iMax B6 from eBay ($20 shipped). Then again, replacement cells are easy to come by, so maybe trickle charging is "good enough".
