Home Bar Stereo

[todd.brust 29]

So here's the deal, my roomates and I host get togethers at out apartment a lot and what we are really lacking is a a stereo in our downtairs kitchen/living room area and thats where we do most of out partying. In the coming month or so, we are going to construct a bar and I am planning on integrating the sound system into the bar. I want to keep as much space as possible underneath so I do not want to construct enclosures within the front of the bar, rather I'd like to have an open baffle type of alignment. The goals are to have it be somewhat efficient and party proof. By party proof I mean I want it to take abuse. I was thinking multiple 6.5" or 8" woofers on each channel(simple left and right set-up) and dome tweeter, probably titanium dome.

Fidelity isn't the number one concern, and I would like to keep costs down so I plan to just use Dayton pre-made crossovers.

Just want some feedback oh what you think about some suggestions.

3 of these per channel for a 4 ohm load

and a set of these tweeters

and these crossovers will work with the listed frequency response of the drivers without risking damage to the tweeters.

This is just a thought I put together real quick, but I am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

And these would just be ran off of an old Kenwood Receiver I have lying around, about 60 watts per channel.

A concern also is the woofers bottoming out since it will be an open baffle alignment and we will listen to anything from rock to some sick bassy dubstep.

Goood to know. I'll definitely keep those in mind for the tweeters. I just don't know if I should go with horns or if dome tweeters will be loud enough.
