DWT
Dirty White Trash
I've been wanting to build a big stupid stereo system for parties and generally causing myself to go deaf prematurely. Nothing off the shelf will do what I want without being silly expensive so I'm looking at cheapish rack mounted amps and building my own speaker enclosures.
I'm looking at amazon chinesium rack mounted amps, probably 2-300 watts for the mid bass/mids and maybe horns if standard tweeters don't handle the highs and at least 1k watts for the subs driven by a preamp mixer board. I've found most of what I want for speakers from skar, I have a pair of their subs in my DD and they've takes nearly 3x their rated rms like a fucking champ so I figure I'll give them a chance for home stuff too.
I'm thinking something like a pair of 6.5" mids and 1" tweeters per side with a single 10" mid bass and a single 15" sub in a slot ported box. Obviously the subs will be separated from the other speakers and the enclosures will be big and heavy since it'll be 3/4" plywood with that doubled up for the subs. I'm not worried about perfect sound stages or ultimate sonic fidelity, I want to rip someone's face off with the shop doors open.
So tell me how stupid my idea is, this project likely won't happen until this summer so I have plenty of time to iron it out. I'd thought about just grabbing some used dj speakers and making my own sub setup but I figure I'm already this far in why not go full fucktard.![Homersimpson :homer: :homer:](https://data.irate4x4.com/assets/smilies/homersimpson.gif)
