hi
i already have 2x 12" and 2x tweeter setup that i run on AGM batteries. in sweden, when people graduate, they celebrate on a truck bed like this

i have already used my setup on this event once but i want some more umpf. i run my setup on a 1000w car amp and with batteries.

is it a stupid idea to built a 15/18" subwoofer and run it on batteries? i am thinking a horn design, like a tham15 or something to keep it as efficient as possible.

good thing with batteries is i dont need an generator making sounds. although i have a 2.2kw diesel generator and i have an RCA output from my car stereo that i could use. maybe that is a better option? although it would require a somewhat expensive PA amplifier

anyways, what would be the ideal subwoofer for an outdoor environment like this? sound quality is not my priority
