Hi there,
(this first bit isn't an advert just an explanation)
I'm from UK, we have recently had a new portable product launched from a guy living over here called a mini-rig (rig being the term given to 5-30K soundsystems used in clubs / at unofficial outdoor events, not sure if this is the same in the US).
Its pretty impressive I've had sound engineers listen and they're blown away, anyway the one thing it lacks is some decent bass response (its a 3" neodymium driver) and I haven't been too bothered about it but I've recently been clearing out some stuff and found an old PC 5.1 system that had a faulty volume cable. it is the Yamaha yst ms30 http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/av/english/pcS/YST-MS30.pdf
so I figured as I know a little about things like this I'd rip out the pcb out from the sub enclosure and make it into a small rechargable portable sub to go with my speaker.
So here are my questions:
1) I would have to install a crossover into the sub enclosure right? so it would go ipod>sub crossover then one wire to sub amp and one to a 3.5mm jack which the minirig would plug into. This is one area I'm not great on, could anyone suggest a solution or product.
2) it would need an amp and battery installed, being an 18W speaker would this item work? Kemo M033N 18 Watt Universal Mono Amplifier Module 320-553
3) What would be the suggested battery pack to make this run for 6-10 hrs on normal volume
As I said I understand the basic working of stereo's and amps etc. But have never done anything like this before, am I missing something here...? and any other advice would be greatly appreciated
All the best
Gregg
