@@gonzalezsax4129 yes that could work well

@@charles-cd1qb yes it does

Yes I think so. Speakers 6.5"x2 would fit nicely on the 17"L box

@@caseymoto also plastic ammo box 15”Lx8”Wx10H would be to small to put the speaker side by side on front so it be better to get the 17”Wx10.13”Wx13”h box?

@@kylewilliams3306 I would go with the larger box that you listed.. the smaller box is going to be very close and is better suited for smaller speakers like 4".. I just did a plastic box with two 6.5" speakers and it is about 17"L x 11"H x 6"W, it fit great and you can see it here: studio.kzbin.infoiSrZkV52jQ0/edit

@@caseymoto is there an easy way to guy out the holes for the 6.5 speaker to fit with out drill ,hole saw or dremel tool?

@@kylewilliams3306 without those tools, I do not know of a way... I prefer hole saw, have also used roto zip (cut out tool) on plastic

@@JoeyJenrette yes hole saw is the correct way.. make sure it is the right size.. once you get the hang of it it’s not too bad.. don’t press down too hard, and I sometimes use wd40 as cutting fluid

I put part links in the description.. that is called Power Socket Sidewall Port, here is the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07V6NJ37P?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

@@omars.flores2545 yes the amp has Bluetooth built in

@@beastmode2990 I think you will be fine with the 2 12v 12ah batteries, I usually just use 1 battery 10 or 12ah , sometimes I boost it to 20v.. last time I boosted I used a 20ah , always lifepo4 too.. they all have great battery life

@@caseymoto update if you want to know 2 speakers 40w RMS 160 peak with a car audio and one battery 12v12ah lasted 4 hours and it wasn't full empty i wanted to add 2 more speakers but its over kill honestly

@@beastmode2990 cool.. I agree 2 speakers sounds good, when I made one with 4 I never went over half volume

@@caseymoto ye sounds better i got 2 hertz x130 speakers and with the car audio they sound fantastic even at max volume tomorrow ill get some mdf 60x40 and some 40x40 panels and i will make a box cause the 12ah battery is bigger than the 7 or 9ah but i am impressed with the time it held i thing 2 smaller speakers at 25w would work really nice but for now ill stay with those 2 ill keep you updated if you want on how it will work out with the box

@@ratedzak6935 that would be sick! I’ve been wanting to add speakers to a skateboard too

Yes, I use a 30a fuse, at 11:15 in this video you can see the location

at 1:01 in this video, you can see one of these has a subwoofer.. the subwoofer has two sets of terminals (+ and - wires), you can wire one set to the left channel and one set to the right channel.. you can then wire in a tweeter on each of those channels... I put a 33ohm resistor in front of each tweeter to reduce the power sent to them... here is link to video with that boombox playing : kzbin.info29JhFUywzWQ

@@nitorena7042 usually I increase the voltage to 20-21v (using a voltage booster) when using 6.5” speakers.. for the 4” speakers I like the power output with 12v thru this amp so I’ve never tried higher voltage on these speakers.. but it should work and I’ve been wanting to try dewalt 20v instead of boosting a 12v

@@caseymoto I’m going to give it a shot then I’ll update you on the outcome

@@FatJigga65 I use a 30a fuse, I’ve never blown one.. but when I have wiring issues I just back up and add one thing to the battery at a time until I see what caused the issue

@@caseymoto Yup I rewired everything, turns out I wired the connection to the switch wrong, thanks!!

I haven’t used one on any of my boomboxes, I don’t think it is needed.. at 2:45 that’s a voltage booster

@@thomasjenkins5145 I don’t think it is possible with these specific amplifiers .. I just play one boombox at a time

@@PatinatruckGarage yes here is one : kzbin.info29JhFUywzWQ?si=Z6S2ZR7Q-gQMgsL_

@@caseymoto how much for one like that

I'm sorry I cannot, but I know someone who can. KZbin channel: DIY Boom Boxes In Texas. He also has a facebook page: Custom Boom Boxes And Bluetooth Speakers Made In Texas .. I learned a lot from him

yes, that is correct.. you can see this at 9:35 in the video. It is displaying 13.2v which pretty much means full. around 11.5v or so it is basically dead

@@caseymoto I must have mine wired wrong because it show 13.3, 13.2 all the time when I have the switch turned on.

@@ShawnStumpe it takes a while to go down, because the battery lasts a long time

@@caseymoto thank I will check it closer I played mine for like 6 to 8 hours and was still showing 13.3 to 13.2

Excellent battery life.. I would say 10-20 hours but I don't have the exact number and it does depend on volume

@@lukegagnard1031 sidewall port, the link is in description

hey thanks man. this is a 5.25" kicker speaker, which is listed at 200 watts, the amp is listed at 100 watts per channel, and the speaker is wired into both channels.. not sure how many watts it is actually getting, maybe 70?

@@caseymoto You're welcome. I plan on using four of these mini-kegs with some Polk Audio 5.25 woofers to provide a lot of good mid-bass using a couple of old Alpine 70w x 2 amps to push them. Nice to know that it's in the same general power range as yours. It gives me some decent idea of what to expect! Have you ever attempted a 6.5"?

@@brianwesley28 that sounds like a cool project.. I have done 6.5" a few times, not in the mini keg but 40mm ammo can & jerry can - here is a video of those: kzbin.info343ZknA4gx4

@@caseymoto awesome thanks

I did not need to replace that one

Hey what’s up man - it’s going pretty good! I just uploaded one now just for you, I have a haro sloride but it’s having some mechanical issues, pedals aren’t threading into cranks right

12V 12Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery

I do wrap the battery, but not completely. The bottom and back are touching walls so are not necessary.. I have never had a problem with heat, but I also don't think you will notice a difference in sound quality with or without wrapping battery.. I have seen the mat used in minimal coverage on some applications and still works, and I am more concerned with covering the metal on the box

@@caseymoto thank you, I am actually using a plastic ammo can so will or should I use sound mat?

@@ShawnStumpe I would

@@caseymoto thank you

For the amp mount: drill 3 holes, take careful measurements to get the locations right. use cardboard to make a template if you have to. The amp comes with three nuts threaded down on the three knobs, remove the nuts, stick knobs thru holes, then twist down nuts, it will be secure...yes I use 6-32 1" machine screws with nuts for holding everything to can

Yes, I usually put it (a 30a fuse) between the battery and main connector box, you can see this at 11:15 in the visual on this video

@@caseymoto Sorry I see the fuse now in the visual

It is in the description of this video

Thanks. I missed it. I seen the times, but missed the ….more button. Awesome!!!! Exactly what I was looking

No I have never used exciter speakers, but I do plan on making a waterproof case soon using a plastic case I have

I’m planning on using a pelican case soon, they appear to be perfectly sized for something like this.. the speakers shown in the video (4”) should fit , and I will look to go even larger with a slightly larger pelican-like case I have
