i really like the power acoustik amp so if that powers the speakers above just fine tell me and that is the one i will get

what does bridge mono mean? like powering only one speaker?

EDIT:

also which car battery would give me at least 5 hours of run time for each of the amp/speaker combinations?
and what calculation do you use to figure this out?

this is going on a cart attached to my bike

and i put it in this forum because it is not computer speakers so i didnt know if it would fit
 
Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Its going to be heavy as hell, and you will not have space on a bike....

just buy a boombox or something...

but if you are set on this, just get the amp I linked you to in the last thread. All those amps you just linked to are overrated, and will not produce near the rated with clean power.

get some cheap components from walmart and a cheap battery. I started running my sub amp off a separate battery, and it lasts about 6 hours before it goes dead, but you will get around 10-30 hours off a cheap battery powering a 100watt amp.

what kind of enclosure are you going to put the speakers in?
