I have been craving to build a Boom-Box/Ghetto Blaster for a while now and think it is time.
The problem is that I have never built anything on this scale, which is why I will need all the help and comments I can get.
To start off, let me show you the speakers that I have:
2 Kenwood JL-774 "3 Way Speaker System"
-Maximum Input Power: 140 W
-Impedance: 8 Ohms
The speakers are pretty large, but I want a THUMPING ghetto blaster.
Now I have been reading over DIY Boombox Project - bit-tech.net Forums and MetkuMods - Because you love your hardware!. I found some good information here but I still had a few questions:
-What type of amp would be ideal for my system?
-What type of battery/supply would be ideal for my system?
-Would I need to get special capacitors or crossovers or can I use what's included in the speaker cabinets?
Here are some pics of the speakers:
Here is a site I found with pretty cool amps:
41Hz audio amp kits. Sounds good to me! Tripath based amplifiers for DIY:ers.
I have been thinking about it and have came to a conclusion that this box will only be using 1 speaker, hence only needing 1 channel.
I appreciate whatever help i can get...
Thanks
