yes, that is correct.. you can see this at 9:35 in the video. It is displaying 13.2v which pretty much means full. around 11.5v or so it is basically dead

@@caseymoto I must have mine wired wrong because it show 13.3, 13.2 all the time when I have the switch turned on.

@@ShawnStumpe it takes a while to go down, because the battery lasts a long time

@@caseymoto thank I will check it closer I played mine for like 6 to 8 hours and was still showing 13.3 to 13.2

Excellent battery life.. I would say 10-20 hours but I don't have the exact number and it does depend on volume

hey thanks man. this is a 5.25" kicker speaker, which is listed at 200 watts, the amp is listed at 100 watts per channel, and the speaker is wired into both channels.. not sure how many watts it is actually getting, maybe 70?

@@caseymoto You're welcome. I plan on using four of these mini-kegs with some Polk Audio 5.25 woofers to provide a lot of good mid-bass using a couple of old Alpine 70w x 2 amps to push them. Nice to know that it's in the same general power range as yours. It gives me some decent idea of what to expect! Have you ever attempted a 6.5"?

@@caseymoto awesome thanks

I did not need to replace that one

Hey what’s up man - it’s going pretty good! I just uploaded one now just for you, I have a haro sloride but it’s having some mechanical issues, pedals aren’t threading into cranks right

12V 12Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery

I do wrap the battery, but not completely. The bottom and back are touching walls so are not necessary.. I have never had a problem with heat, but I also don't think you will notice a difference in sound quality with or without wrapping battery.. I have seen the mat used in minimal coverage on some applications and still works, and I am more concerned with covering the metal on the box

@@caseymoto thank you, I am actually using a plastic ammo can so will or should I use sound mat?

@@ShawnStumpe I would

@@caseymoto thank you

For the amp mount: drill 3 holes, take careful measurements to get the locations right. use cardboard to make a template if you have to. The amp comes with three nuts threaded down on the three knobs, remove the nuts, stick knobs thru holes, then twist down nuts, it will be secure...yes I use 6-32 1" machine screws with nuts for holding everything to can

Yes, I usually put it (a 30a fuse) between the battery and main connector box, you can see this at 11:15 in the visual on this video

@@caseymoto Sorry I see the fuse now in the visual

It is in the description of this video

Thanks. I missed it. I seen the times, but missed the ….more button. Awesome!!!! Exactly what I was looking

No I have never used exciter speakers, but I do plan on making a waterproof case soon using a plastic case I have

I’m planning on using a pelican case soon, they appear to be perfectly sized for something like this.. the speakers shown in the video (4”) should fit , and I will look to go even larger with a slightly larger pelican-like case I have

Good question, I do not use that , don’t believe it is needed with this type of battery

Thank you for replying back, I am planning to build a speaker box for my son, Have you ever built a waterproof speaker box using exciter speakers?

You can wire one tweeter to the left channel, and another to the right channel of the amp.. even though the other speakers are already occupying these left and right channels, tweeters can be shared on the same postive and negative wires.. when I did this I included 33 ohm resistors on the positive wire to the tweeters, as I read these tone down the tweeters so they don't get too loud, here is the link to that, it worked well for me : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7MRL5S5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Yes, it was the 6.5" Skar Audio EVL-65, here is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019WYPLIA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

That sounds really cool.. it looks like that amp should work.. I would use a voltage booster, here’s the link to what I use when I’m doing bigger speakers like that: a.co/d/hiO1yp2 It has red and black input wires which attach to the 12v battery and red and black output wires which attach to your amp, I do like 21v.. you can set it to what voltage you want to output

I don’t have a solid number because it depends on volume level, but it’s a 10 amp hour battery and it lasts a really long time for me, so I might say 10 hours rough estimate

Thanks man.. yes, you can have it on while charging with no problems, you can use any of the components while plugged into the wall.. you don’t need a step down, the usb charger and other components work off 12v, just like the amp

@@caseymoto thanks for clearing that up for me bud, you are the man!!

Similar to the general plan outlined in this video.. the talentcell battery should be hooked up to positive and negative electrical connectors so you can hook up other things to battery.. from those connectors you hook up push button switch and charge port, as these two components attach to battery. the push button switch would also be connected to the plye 4ch amp because the switch can control when the amp turns on and off.. then the speakers attach to amp

@@kylewilliams3306 the Apiele latching switch can be confusing to wire, because there are multiple ways to wire it which do different things with the LED light .. I like the option where the LED light is only on when the switch is on.. they use different color wires so it’s tough to answer that.. I would recommend studying the diagram that comes with the switch - and testing it on a simple setup using only the battery and a small light or something.. then once you get it working properly you can wire in the other stuff.. I believe for that option there are two wires connected to each other going to the positive side of the device getting switched on, one wire is unused, one wire goes to positive of battery and one wire goes to negative of battery.. if you can’t get it, you can buy a more simple switch with only three wires without all the options with LED on the switch

@@caseymoto I do not know if you have seen this video m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7kjoWeC5Ba8.html&pp=ygUgQmx1ZXRvb3RoIGljZSBjaGVzdCBjb29sZXIgYnVpbGQ%3D I was the way the guy did the wire ring of the switch with blue and wire and yellow is what I did but I am not doing a cooler build ?

This 50 cal ammo can is fitting 4” speakers.. 6” speakers would be too big.

@@caseymoto built one with the 6.5” speakers I have from the utility ammo can from harbor freight they fit kinda perfectly but i have two more questions if you don’t mind what did you use to install the 12v plug effectively I used a drill bit then kinda ran it in a circle till it cut out the hole big enough then slid all 4 of the into it to get them to fit there’s gotta be a better way do u use like a 1” hole saw or something and also what was the way u got the amp to fit securely bc I made it fit kinda like u did by drilling 3 holes then pushing the amp through and sliding the caps on but it doesn’t seem that secure on there

@@TheOGNuke1 I only use hole saw for speaker holes , all the other small components I use “stepper bit” because it has several hole sizes which get progressively larger, so you stop and check as the hole gets slightly larger until the component fits perfectly… for the amp mounting , there are three small nuts tightened all the way down on those three knobs, you wanna remove those nuts and thread them back onto the knobs after you stick them thru the three holes, it will tighten up nice and secure , then stick the plastic knobs on

Thanks man. This one cost about $225 in parts. Check out my other videos for variations on the design. Good luck 👍

Oh yea way louder and better sound quality, plus the battery is a lot larger. I really like the three knobs on the amplifier allowing you to fine tune bass, treble, and volume.. it sounds so good in person

Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate your projects! It's an inspiration for me. I'm going to try to build my own boombox!

I forgot to ask friend. What is the battery life when playing this box and the other one with a 6.5" skar sub at medium and maximum volume?

The speakers should come with included wiring, which I always use because it has the attachments already… otherwise 12 to 16 should be fine

I think the number was around 225

30a - thank you

The voltmeter should not stay on when turning off the switch. It should be connected to the same power line as the USB charger, 12v socket, and amplifier - which all go off with the switch.. maybe you have it connected directly to the battery, which is on the same line as the charger and having constant power.. let me know if I can help
