Boombox/Ghettoblaster bluetooth projects

[Artsi23]

I was thinking of building a ghettoblaster/boombox bluetooth speaker into this old briefcase/case.

I was thinking of a 2.1 build using an amp something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Douk-Audio-HiFi-TPA3116-Bluetooth-4-0-Digital-Amplifier-2-1-Subwoofer-amp-Board-/272023476134?hash=item3f55dcd7a6:g:IlQAAOSwA4dWKFp1

and I could maybe fit two 5" drivers and one 8" or something along those lines. Also adding a way to charge a phone from it would be nice.

So suggestions for wiring, drivers ,amps etc.

Here are few pics of the briefcase and some kind of wiring plan I made(very bad one).

Ps. Also suggestions for good places to buy drivers and other supplies in Europe maybe from Germany to ship to Finland

I would love to get feedback and advices on how to build it because I'm not an electrician or amazing with electronics. Help is much appriciated

Hey, ya know if you want a cheaper bluetooth amp, this one would be the one to get...

Also, I am also building almost the same thing but onto a piece of wood so it can be a more than portable speaker.

IMHO, you should forget about the subwoofer. First off, the case is way too small for it and secondly, encasing a subwoofer in the same box with the mids is a bad idea. The sub would make the cones on the mids resonate ruining the sound. Instead you should get quality mids and tweeters and go with that.

Oh yeah then that amp Brenna_Prince suggested would be good, I have looked at it before. but the only thing is that I'm not sure how to wire up like two mids and tweeters to that

*Brennan_Price. Anyway, you could just hook up the tweeters and mids to the same output. It wont give you as good surround or anything but if the speaker/boom-box is needed for partied and things, you sure will be able to cover a large area of people.

To be able to use separate mids and tweeters you need a crossover in it.

so yeah I should probably connect them with a crossover, any suggestions for boards I should get for that?

[Artsi23]

Okay so I decided to use this amp

since its poweful and can power with only 12V

 

[Artsi23]

Okay I'm going to also add this USB charging port so you can charge your phone and I need to figure out somekind of charging system so the battery wont overcharge

[Artsi23]

we have few old stereo system speakers in the garage, two pairs of different kinds. Both were 4 ohms and other 20W and others powerhandling marked 25/35W.  Those have crossover woofer and tweeter. only promblem is that they might be too big for this case.

Might be a tight fit so I'm not sure if its a good idea. It'd be cheap tho.

[Artsi23]

Anyone know is it possible to rewire those buttons with different ones? so I could have them attached to the case

Do either of you have any suggestions or advices for my plans?

I wouldn't add a usb charger because it drains the energy and if you don't have the good batteries even kills your battery.

 

This is a very good place to get stuff from for these kind of projects.

Oh I'd like to have a usb charger because I was thinking of adding really good batteries, so I could charge a phone while using the boombox

I have got no idea if this helps you at all but just look at the diagram for crossover use...
