Ok, so I built my first CBB, now I want a portable amp.

==Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm doing!!! So any and all advice is greatly appreciated==

 I found a good box at the Cigar Shop recently: 16"x7x5

Thinking of mounting the speakers in the bottom, nice looking wood (thinner than top). Maybe a latch on the side panel to open for controls panel? Storage box for batteries, maybe ac adaptor? Picks, slides.

 I would like to have an AC DC adaptor, not sure what voltage. The amp says 9-15v, could I hook a wall adaptor and a 9v battery up to  switchable loop?

 I am thinking about using this amplifier:

Wayfinder reports good luck with it. Though it is volume only, no tone. Seems easy enough to plug speakers into it.

AC/DC 12V 2x15W Digital Quality Audio Amplifier DIY Kit Dual-Channel Module 4-8Ω

1. Working voltage: DC 9-15V
2. Power: 15W +15 W
3. Maximum power:30W+30W
4. Output Impedance: 4-8Ω

Would need to add a power switch between amp and supply.

  And looking at these speakers:


PYLE-PRO PDMW5 - 5'' High Performance Mid-Bass Woofer

  • 100 Watts RMS / 200 Watts Peak Power Handling - 5'' Treated Paper Cone
  • 1'' High Temperature Aluminum Voice Coil - 15 oz Magnet Structure
  • Sensitivity: 90dB - Frequency Response: 80Hz ~ 7kHz
  • Mounting Depth: 2''
  • 8 Ohm Impedance

======

 For power supply a 9v battery and a acdc jack would be sweet. Can't seem to find an adaptor line in jack that isn't for a specific computer

Ah, this might work?

 Maybe just a 9-volt battery that I unplug when not in use?
