My wife and I go camping quite a bit, and spend a lot of time doing outdoor activities, mainly, cooking, cornholing, and sitting around the campfire. I would like to have some music while we are doing these activities. At first, I was going to buy a BT speaker, but my DIY attitude got the best of me, and I decided that I could build something better (probably not cheaper in this case) than I could buy something.
So, I started looking around online, and there is a lot of "information" out there, but so far, I haven't ran onto a definitive source for putting all of this stuff together into a working box. I have never worked with amps, power supplies, and designing speaker x-overs. I've always used existing designs.
This would be my list of requirements:
BT enabled
Decent power out of the amp (100W/chan?)
Battery powered (ability to last at least 12H, without charging, longer if possible)
Subwoofer (no specific size, but if possible, minimum of 8")
Mids / Tweeters
I don't have a max size the box can be, but as far as configuration goes, I'd be fine with more of a "tower" type design, long and slender. I would like for the whole thing to be under 50lbs, if possible, but 75 max on the weight.
Waterproof-ish. Not looking for IP67, and I could design the box, so that it was capable of taking on some moisture without being damaged. Electronics would be inside, and/or have a door that covers them. We would take it in at night, or cover it so that it doesn't get wet if rained on
Maybe this isn't even possible with this list of requirements.
Does anyone know of a "resource" that one could go to find information on how to put all of these things together to make something that's functional???
