New Year Party BoomBox Ideas 2.1 tall all in one

Hello Friends

I want to surprise my Famali with a DIY boombox that we will use for the 31st dec new year party
Its going to be used outdoor in the garden and have a powerpoint so dont need to have it battery powered

The items that I have with me is chinese make 2.1 TPA 3251 100 watts x 2 8ohms bluetooth and 200 watts Subwoofer amplifier the specs say it has 2 chips TPA 3251 so decent power can be achived 49v AC adapter. I tried this amp on my 3 way speaker and its super was surprised at the cost and performance


In Drivers I have the following below
Peerless TC9FD12- 8 3.5" FR 8 drivers total
variety of Subwoofer drivers with me
Peerless Tymphany 830946 6-1/2" Paper Cone Woofer Speaker 4 Ohm. 4 nos
Peerless Tymphany 830667 8" Paper Cone SLS Subwoofer 4 nos
Tang Band W8-740P 8" Subwoofer 2 nos
Beyma 12BR70 2 nos
I am confused what config to make since I dont know how to simulate WinISD sealed or ported , downfiring or Horn etc

It need to be all in one box can be tall but not flat horizontal like soundbar Bass area can be broad below part I guess and top part having FullRange
Music is electronic EDM and POp rock we will be playing. Around 40-50 people will be present and we will dance in open garden. Not enclosed area.

I also have Hypex nCore streo amp 500 watts per channel if you feel we should not use chinese TPA amp but then it will be stereo and not 2.1 I think even f we get f3-50hz should be good? I will keep one ipad for music and headphone to 2 rca it will go to amp.

I have been using Bose S1 pro and marshall Woburn blutooth speakers and its not great. Getting to hire DJ on new year is pain since our farmhouse place is far away from town once a DJ confirmed and last moment dint turn up thank god i had bluetooth speaker at least we hadsomething to play music

I am confused what to do please help people

just my (very personal) thoughts:
  • outdoor usually needs more power than indoor because of lacking room reflections
  • the only serious PA drivers you listed are the beymas. all other drivers will only be usable for low volume background music
  • however, TC9s may be usable as line array (you will probably need even more drivers in this case, see jbl example) or as "tweeter" with horn; keep in mind the low power rating and low efficiency. cross it over as high as possible
  • the beymas seem to be usable as midwoofers together with compression tweeter and horns ("econowave") or line arrays
  • for high efficiency and reasonable size use ported bass enclosure
  • time schedule seems quite tight if you still have to get into loudspeaker design and simulation programs... i would suggest to rent a small PA system for this year and design and build your own system for next year 🙂
