Hey guys, let me first start by saying, I know there have been a couple of these threads. However, it seems like there are many knowledgeable folks on here and I would like to be the sponge in this case.
I want to build my own Thodio IBox XC esentially (here). I am am sure of the size of the box and I have the idea of the building process, but where I need the genius minds of you guys is in the components.
Many people have been using many different amp boards. I am looking currently at the TK2050 class-D 2X100w. Here
I'm not sure of the drivers yet, but would like a nice set of coaxials that will perform very nicely outside.
I am also lacking for thoughts on which battery to use. I would love to get the same usage as the IBOX XC gets which is around 12 at high volume. Any ideas? Also how i would set it up to charge? And while charging, or plugged in, should I have the system pull power from the power supplier instead of the battery?
Would a solar panel be benificial at this size?
The dimensions of the full project will be:
43 x 27 x 28cm / 16.9 x 10.6 x 11 inches L x W x H
I'd like an on off switch, volume knob, volt meter gauge or panel vu meter tr-35 would be cool if that could be added? The 1/8" input jack (I don't want bluetooth.) I'd love to ultimately put in EQ nobs as well but not sure of that one yet.
Is it necessary to have two seperate chambers for the two drivers?
As far as having the dock, I understand that it will drain battery a little faster, so I am not so sure about that one yet either.
Any other thoughts and comments would be REALLY appreciated!
Sorry if I'm opening another can of worms here!!
