Whatsup,
this is the heavy Edited Post

So I'm trying to build a good outdoor Soundsystem to play Hartekk on.
I already have plans for building 2 Bass Speakers. And I already have 2 Midtops I wonna turn into one.

Do I need a Kickbin?
I have a spare 10" Driver.
Are there plans for that?
That would mean I would need an Extra Channel on my crossover.
There are 2 Drivers in my Midtop.
Should I use the passive crossover I have or use an Active for everything?
So what kind of Crossover do I need? 4 Channel? 3Channel? 2Channel?
Also,
Do i need a Noisegate, Compressor or EQ at some point in my Setup?
I was thinking about pruchasing this Amp: www.thomann.de/de/the_tamp_tsa_4_1300.htm
Is that a good Idea?
And
What Wattage should my Generator be?
I could easily borrow some Old Military Generators but have no Idea what Wattage I should aim for in a Generator with that Kind of Setup...

So the Idea would be

DJ-Stuff (Turntables, PC
______________________
Mixer
Crossover
4-Way-Amp
__________________
Midtop
Kickbin
2 Bassbins



Is there Anything i missed?
Would love to get some help and finish this project soon

+1 Keep it simple!

Dual(or multiple single) 18's and some 12+1 or 212+1'4 should give you a nice and versatile little rig.

And DCX over DBX any day! You will have to fork out a lot of cash to get something better than a DCX.

If you don't give any thoughts on how to get power to this lot (beyond "maybe use an old generator") you're gonna be SOL before you even start.
In any kind of off-grid setup its probably the most important thing to consider before even mentioning the type of speaker boxes.
