1) What inputs do the speakers have?
2) you suggest you want them to be tailgate-compatible. Is battery-powered (and rechargeable vs non) or plugged in more advantageous?
3) you say speakers and that you want to free up some wires. How many speakers? How many concurrent connections would you require?

I have 2 15" JBL powered speakers. They have 2 XLR and 2 1/4" inputs in the rear. Typically what I do is have a standard 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and run the 1/4" splitter for stereo input directly into the speakers. Those adapters are terribly made and I've gone through at least 4-5 of them over the last 2 years.
I understand I'll have to basically do the same thing with whatever option I choose but at least they won't be moved around a bunch which is the main cause of the broken adapters.
I connect the 2nd speaker via XLR which will stay the same. I have a 50' cable that I can wrap around hte backside of our blow up tent.
As for the power, it really doesn't matter. The speakers have to be plugged in anyway so I could just run it into the same power source.
