I went through a cisco training center for my networking certs. What I listed is well beyond normal but possible. Someone using something like this could try to target wifi connections at secure locations from very far away. Like, lets say someone wants to attempt causing trouble with the power grid. You know the location of a power grid control station and you have all of this data. You look for routers that employees have access to within that location by viewing the gps location. There is the term "Cisco runs the internet" because so much of the internet is ran through Cisco hardware. That hardware is made in China...
Chinese made hardware running the US's power grid's networks. They would know the easily accessible hardware and would be able to access it at great range. It is all a conspiracy theory but nothing that is out of the realm of possibility.

If I had a sub I would be all set. The pro amp is for the fans which are quiet I have an x3000 and the headroom. You get less distortion with an over powered amp. Snag some used monitors of your choice. Look at speaker wattage ratings. When you see 75 wonder if that is enough(it's not for me).
I would be looking at something like this: http://www.amazon.com/24dBi-Directional-Booster-Parabolic-Antenna/dp/B00NQGVMSE
Put one at each end and it should reach the distance. Not sure about that specific model, but the concept is there.
Thinking outside the box- what if you got a cell connection antenna to connect to the device at the end of the driveway? And then run your signal over the internet?
If you have a friend in the city that's close to your van location, you could offer to pay 50% of their internet cost if they hook up your big-ass wifi range extender: https://www.amazon.com/Antenna-World-G2424-Directional-Parabolic/dp/B00NQGVMSE
I have a wifi grid antenna into a nooelec SAWbird+ H1 into a nooelec SDR + some cables. I’m using https://github.com/byggemandboesen/H-line-software to receive/graph basic graphs and then my own webpage with the Plotly JavaScript library to make my map
I used this one. I haven't tried the cheaper ones because amazon wouldn't ship them to where I live.
I don't, still experimenting. So far the best bang for the buck I've had is with a cantenna, but they do sell 2.4ghz parabolic antennas for like $100, as well as mixed review yagi antennas. https://www.amazon.com/Antenna-World-G2424-Directional-Parabolic/dp/B00NQGVMSE/ref=sr_1_19?keywords=2.4ghz+parabolic+antenna&qid=1559600107&s=gateway&sr=8-19#customerReviews
find an affordable router/access point with good reviews and an external antenna port for starters and point things at your garage and see what happens.
fyi, no clue if it works, but some folks experiment with satellite dishes as well. https://www.skifactz.com/wifi/?p=159
I currently have a flat panel usb thingie, not impressed.
