amp 2 boom box project

Hi Folks,

I rescued an old boom box from the bin and the plan is to mount a pi 4 2Gb/amp 2 inside, replace the cassette deck with a touch screen, power from Mean Well GST60A18, slowly wire up all the buttons/leds etc and replace the internal speakers.

I have a 3d printer so will design and print all the facias for mounting etc.

What speakers would you recommend for the environment in the first instance I was going to get some cheap car speakers in the first instance eg JVC CS-J510X. Should I be looking at something a bit different shielded etc?

- Raspberry Pi 4
- HiFiBerry Amp2
- 4" Capacitive Touch Screen
- amp2
- Mean Well GST60A18,
- Volumio distrib

cheers

Car speakers usually don't work well in small enclosures as most of these are designed for larger or no enclosure at all.
The problem is that loudspeaker development is really complex and just putting a speaker into a box rarely works well. To design a good speaker, you need measurement equipment, but also a lot of know-how. I'm sorry, but I can't simply recommend a speaker for your project.
