not sure yet if it should be called the MQ3430 or the MQ1290 but I finally got a hold of the final (3rd) mq430. I got a piece of an unused heat sink on here a year or more ago and had it cut in half so I can make amp links out of them. Hopefully this next to the ms1k will be enough. But now the most important question, what color should I make it? I just sent my stuff off for nickel plating and that would be amazing for sure but $$$$, I also thought about franking them. Grey just seems a little boring if I am going to have to powder it.

not sure why I can't post pics tonight...

Finally got it figured out. I need to do some work to get the links to sit perfectly flat against the amps because of the screws but only 44" long.

So any ideas on colors?

well damn at one point at least a troll would go through and recommend a really crappy color.

I'm not a person who enjoys flashy colors. I prefer a simple understated look and enjoy the OEM gray color. :)

That being said, out of your four options, I like the Fire Lights one best.

I would do something like black with metallic gold flakes with gold end plates. The writing on the end plates being black. Thats what I would do. Black and classy.
