Does the wire for the speakers come with them, or the amp? It appears you are using different wires for the speakers and amp as you are for the power to the amp and usb charger.

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

The speaker wires come with the speakers. You have to buy separate pigtails for the amp

What kind of hole saw? I bought a set and it couldn't get through the steel. Carbide?

You need to get a Bi-metal hole saw. That is made for cutting metal. Dewalt makes a good one. Lenox also makes good hole saws

Can u do a how to ammo can w/ scar speakers? Or would it be same amp etc?

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

I have done several ammo cans with Skar speakers. Same amp, I just use a more heavy duty voltage booster. The 6.5 inch Skars will fit on a Fat 50. Done it many times. I am actually about to build another one this weekend

[@scottmorris8821]

Could you do 2 6.5” speakers on one side?

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

You can, but it would have to be a 40mm ammo can. That is the only one to git speakers that big. You would also have to add a voltage booster to the smp for more power. If you watch some of my other videos, I have done that many times. Especially on thr Harley Davidson themed Bluetooth speaker and some of thr Corvette ones.

Sorry for my ignorance but how do you get radio or music to play

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

The amp has Bluetooth built in. When you turn your box on, you go to your settings on your phone and select Bluetooth . The phone will show Bluetooth devices that are available. You will the the amps ID and click on it and it will pair with the amp. You can now play any audio from your phone onto your speaker. You can play music from KZbin and there are also apps like Panorama than will play music of your choosing

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

You can install an AUX input to plug on a Radio pr MP3 player I to thr amp as well to play music

@@diyboomboxesintexas2805 ….so with the lithium battery it’s a lot lighter and no battery tender needed which would make it a lot cheaper to build? Parts have gotten really expensive. No room for profit. I just want build one for me but I don’t know how much you can make if you sell them. There’s a guy on TikTok that goes all out, even powdercoat and he sells them starting at $250. Not worth the work. Check him out I think they’re called Rak’d audio on TikTok or website.
