errrr.. no ;) Anyways. The car is now stuffed full and will be on a ferry this evening to Germany. Tomorrow then new wheels, a stint in a glider and then to Calais and on to my parent's place. First job there is to empty the car..... I'll be ordering some more damping today, I think, and wondering w...

it's back in the car. No more pics until I get to the UK and have time to wire it up properly. Man, this is going to be a huuuuge job....

Bret

the 2" work great. Have them on my desk at work right now.... stuffed HARD and with support from a sub, they're pretty damned fine. Sound better than the cheapo 2-way 4" I have under them.

Shame my hearing is screwed with the cold that I appear to have.

Bret

some more piccies.. another three hours tonight means I have most of the screws in place. the distro block is full and fused something like correctly (only 40A for the 350s, which is not really enough) - though the main breaker is only 100A ATM. the overall look (this will be under the oak trunk flo...

two hours of playing with cables later, I find one set of holes is crappy and I've screwed up one of the cables (no fork necessary). At least my 100W iron works fine.

I just put it in a safe place. I simply couldn't remember where the "safe" place was... as a result I have some of the stuff for the trip already sorted, a load of trash has gone out and other stuff is organised more efficiently, so it wasn't wasted time, just I could have used it elsewher...

sorry. I'm concentrating hard on getting the fucker working! :D Found teh distro... one amp is in, I spent an hour fighting with cables. Another one and it should be pretty much done. So the box can go in tomorrow or Tuesday, wired up. Need more foam for the fitting of the front door builds. Pic of ...

FUCK! I can't find my distro! Talk about a pain.... well, I needed to take the garage apart anyway to sort what I'm taking with me on the trip (I have the better part ot two weeks PURE work time available and intend to make the most of it) and when looking yesterday I found a couple of bits that I n...

the other side adapter is now sort of done; the frame is made and the glue is now setting. Tomorrow or Sunday: - Amp wiring - adapters in the car and screwed down - all the drivers in and wired up. Should be possible.. would be good to get the trunk better, too, so I can make some real headway there...

So, we didn't go up north, but it pissed down with such wind I couldn't do anything. For that, I now have a mount for the left side midbass, the right side midbass will get one tomorrow. Over the weekend (if the weather permits) I will fit the 2.5s and finish the mounts for the midbasses off, so tha...

thanks :) just in case someone thinks I haven't been doing much... well, I have, just it's not all visible as usual. A-Pillars now have MLV and felt the felt for the rear side on one side is back in , the other side i will trim tomorrow The driver housings for the 2" BBs I'm using are sort of d...

Ahyes, this will be the last week in June.

I will need to drive from Travemünde to Calais. Now I want to hit Antwerp when it's dark (I've seen it once and it was fantastic. This time I will have my tripod with me :D) and I would really quite like to do something interesting in Holland. I get in Monday evening - around 21:00 - and then I'll s...

It's around €10 / kilo. So around $7 / lb. And it's not very light. It's fucking difficult to find. I got two large-ish pieces, paid nearly $100 and have used all of them: there are pieces to go on the doors, the screen surround and my stickshift knob are all the same wood. I was trying to do some o...

more piccies...






and it's Birch, not Maple

Bret

350.2, 300.1, 100.2

Bret

because I can't get enough birch for it, otherwise it would be that. I have problems dealing with veneer, too, or I'd probably do it that way.
And oak is nice and hardwearing for the trunk floor.

Bret

it'll look better when it's dried

just started the other sections... they're drying as I speak. Will pop down in a minute and repeat, as it needs to be so oiled that the oil stays on the top for half an hour or so. That way, it's so saturated that it looks good, too

Bret

so, here some piccies: this is the boot at the moment. The oak on the right I did a couple of years back as practice... http://www.23hq.com/23666/5661025_c8740c518810af96784a81726949a0b1_large1k.jpg You can see the aluminium strips which will be screwed onto the wood to hold it in place horizontally...

I'd quite like to swap the blue LEDs for red ones. Because everything else in the car is red or white.

Any ideas how they're powered? Is it straight from 12V, i.e. I can just replace them and add an extra resistor (probably another 300Ohm or so) to drop from 3V to 1.8....

thx

Bret

yep, and you still ain't gonna get 'em. Half the house has been ripped apart in the mean time and my garage has been off-limits for much of the week. As it is, I got in there this evening for an hour (been fighting with overtime, the bank, crappy wheels and lots of other stuff, so this has taken a b...

Wetten Dass is like... the Tonight Show. It's an institution and it's once a week. Still running, too.

Can't find the bierflaschen one, sorry, will have to look some more

Bret

I was rushing to get done. I'll take some real ones tomorrow

Bret

ohyeah, the feet are on the rack, too, so I could screw it into place now. Will have to hollow out part of the walls (d'oh!) and countersink the bolt, but I already knew that.

Bret

oak is mostly cut and in (I need another 300mm wide piece); the alu is cut but needs minor work. Next: drill and screw the alu in place, make the outside sections fit properly (hello router with flush trim bit!) and then think about cabling. Wheels go on tomorrow; looks / sounds like the exhaust is ...
