Thanks for this overall view of a workable setup. I do already have the amp and the batteries in my shoulder strap bag - backpacking is a bit frowned on over here (France) in marching bands though some in Holland actually have a mock back pack - civil war style. The first time I tried out this idea I used my Ovation with everything else - including the speaker - in a back pack, way back in 2002...
I may try out a system with a speaker on each side though it will need to be more or less fixed using maybe a rigid harness like the bass drummers or some of the more modern multi-tom percussion players. I have been able to cut out all feedback by fixing an aluminium plate to the back of the guitar and fixing the speaker box to this plate at about one inch from the guitar body. The fixing is a large glued rubber pad 5mm (about 1/4 inch) thick. I'm still rather attached to the idea of my "autonomous electric guitar" as a single instrument even if I insist on the idea that it can easily be reduced to a "normal" electric guitar...
I've ordered the Jensen speaker so I'll soon be in a position to judge what my existing amps push out with a good speaker.
I'll keep you posted
