Hi Folks
Till now I used to go for off-the-shelf solutions for my audio needs but overtime they piled up as junk due to some minor electric issues. Now I have a pile of drivers/satellites lying around which I want to re-purpose in future builds and also optimize my current setup so need your input/suggestions to do so. Here's a list of items and my initial ideas for how to use them:
The coaxials are 2-way and the Mids are totally absent so I am thinking of putting them in the car, where they ought to be and use those satellites, re-purposed from 5.1 unit for my left and right channel.
I know it's quite a lot but I would really appreciate feedback, suggestions and critique of my current and proposed build from the brimming pool of wisdom of members of the forum.

Now I have a pile of drivers/satellites lying around which I want to re-purpose in future builds and also optimize my current setup so need your input/suggestions to do so. Here's a list of items and my initial ideas for how to use them:
- A Creative SBS A120 2.1 unit whose crossover circuit has gone kaput thus I have 2 2W 8 ohm full range drivers and 1 10W 8 ohm 4inch subwoofer. I'm thinking of building a boombox from these, but haven't found a suitable amplifier circuit that would include tone control and AUX input on a single board. Additional Bluetooth input would be nice. So for the build I'm stuck at; a design/layout for the boombox and amplifier/circuit to drive all 3.
- A Creative Inspire T60606 5.1 unit whose wired remote went bad and as no spares are available, I want to take it apart and use satellites and subwoofer in 2 different builds. It has 4 satellites of 8W each and a center channel of 18W. The subwoofer is 5.5inch 22 W unit. For this I'm thinking of putting the 2 satellite drivers as front in-dash speakers in my Mom's car and the 5.5inch subwoofer in boot. It's a hatchback, Maruti Suzuki Alto so I hope subwoofer would suffice for the small space. I just need the low end to be there, don't want to shake the damn chassis off it's hinges. For this I intend on building a sub enclosure and use the following parts as I already have them. TPA3118 PBTL Mono Digital Amplifier Board 1X60W 12V 24V Power Amplifier Module - Robu.in | Indian Online Store | RC Hobby | Robotics as Amplifier and Bassoon Sub Woofer Board: Amazon.in: Electronics as active low pass filter because in order to keep wiring to minimum and have the option of quick disconnect, I intend on providing line level input to subwoofer from rear speakers.
- The center channel of 5.1 system and 2 satellites of it, I'm thinking of making a bookshelf kind of unit with 2 satellites and using that and center channel unit as my Left and Right speakers for my current setup.
The coaxials are 2-way and the Mids are totally absent so I am thinking of putting them in the car, where they ought to be and use those satellites, re-purposed from 5.1 unit for my left and right channel.
