[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8473485, member: 576029"] your plan is mostly good. for the power supply, you need to keep it ventilated. how will you turn power on/off? will you wire a toggle switch? do you want to leave it plugged in overnight to keep radio stations? if you wire speakers in series, the highs will be attenuated and you may struggle to get power to the speakers. the result will be turning the volume up too high and hearing distortion. the head unit is only good for 10W or so. i recommend wiring each speaker to a channel, front and rear, to keep the load at 4 ohms per channel. then you can use a lower volume on the head unit which is less power. the enclosure in the lid will have weight, get a proper support.
