Hi all,
I recently put together a minirig to take with me in my campervan but after a month on the road it's proved to be too heavy and a pain to set up with the generator etc... I've now decided to downsize and go 12v and wanted to run the plan past a few people here first for advice before I commit to the build. I'll mainly be travelling in warm sunny countries so want to utilise solar power for charger as I'd rarely have access to mains supply. Battery - 110ah leisure battery Solar panel kit - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lowenergie-Poly-Crystalline-Charging-Caravans-Motorhomes/dp/B01FKKIG2S?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_8 Amp - bassface db4.1 Tops - I have a pair of logic is10s 200w speakers in the existing minirig so was going to use one of those Subs - I have a b&c s15an cabinet loaded with a b&c 15ps100 700w and I also have 4 beyma 8br40/n 50w drivers to hand which I was planning to stick in a quad box, which of these would make the most use of small amount of power available? Are there any other pieces I'm missing or any better solutions? |

I'd say replace that amplifier with a full-range class D one. Look at 4-channel ones from the likes of Pioneer, Alpine, Vibe etc. The idea is to use it as a 2 channel amp, but 2 bridged channles driving a 8R load is a sensible impedance match ... so 1 pair of channels driving your mid-top and the other pair driving the bass box - using the built-in HPF/LPF should be OK ....

Cheers I’ll take a look at a few of the options.
Would you say I’m best sticking with the 700w b&c driver and feeding it around 100w or making a quad box with the 50w beymas although this would take the impedance to 2 ohm? |

This was the end product...
Swapped the bassface amplifier out for a good deal I got on a JBL club 704 4 channel. Very happy with how it sounds with the amount of power available and can reach pretty decent levels when needed. |

It was an air leak that did it at teknival. Some guy who was freaking out on a bad trip fell onto the speaker pole and pulled the whole top hat out of the bass bin.
