I have some great speakers in the house. Very old. After a lifetime of dedicated service, soon I won't have space for them anymore. ahhhh.
Funny thing is they're 4 ohm speakers - same as a car stereo likes.
They're rated at 40 watts - but that's from the good old days when 40w was 40w and the Beatles played live with 15w guitar amps. What I mean is they are very loud, bassy speakers.
Each speaker has 2 tweeters, 2 mid, 4x 4" bass and a 10" bass radiator. Lots of speakers to spread about. Obviously I have to keep the bass units together.
My questions are:
If I take them to bits and install them in the van how to judge what amp to get for them? I'm guessing wattage is exaggerated approx 10x nowadays but I'm only wild guessing.
Will my battery go flat?
Any other reason this is a bad idea?
