You have given less than 10% of the information necessary for anyone to even try and guess at an answer.

Let's start with information about the "speaker" you are talking about.  Make and model, pictures (well lit and in focus, please) and a couple of sentences describing what you see the problem is.

We aren't mind readers - and while we could start throwing ideas around, they are going to be a lot more useful if you can give us some actual detail.

Leave it in the house and go get something intended for automotive use.

A car battery is "12V" but is actually about 14VDC. You and we have no idea about how much DC voltage the amplifier in your speaker uses. It might be 3VDC or might be 50VDC.
If you feed the amplifier too much DC voltage then it blows up but if you feed it too little DC voltage then it will not work.

How will you feed the speaker? Sound sources are stereo with two channels. You will need to combine the two channels with a circuit to feed the single speaker.
