Very good job indeed. I've worked w/welding aluminum for the past 8 years. Sorry I cought this thread to late to give a tip or two, but you did great. I can see my help wouldn't have been needed. :clap:

Wow Mark, that looks great!

I can't believe it's fully working though - that's the only reason I didn't have a bid on it :cry: I guess I'm going to have to take a few more risks in the future :lol:

Looks really nice. Did the M100 come with a black label on the front from the start or did you add that?
Do you have a colour code (or even a link) to the paint you used for the heatsink? I have an M44 + M100 that needs the same treatment. :D

I have also a question for you:
did you remove the circuit board of the amp when you repainted the heatsink or have you just put a simple cover (like plastic) on it when you repainted the heatsink?!

I want to repaint my pg outlaw amp, in black :wink:
some white pg shit in my thrunk, love it!

I'm fairly new to PG though mate, I've only been buying it for the last 5 or 6 years :D

Did you ever see the Mitsubishi Galant I had a couple of years ago Marko?

That had 2 ZX350's bridged running a Morel WR8 each and an MX2 doing the crossover for the Horns to Mids.

Did you buy the EQT's off me when I pulled that install??? They had a set of Clear covers, I'm sure I saw them in the classifieds on TA the other day.

Anyways, I've never seen your car, I've missed the last couple of T-Events, as car audio has been on the back burner for a couple of years but I'll have to find you at the next one.

Like I said before I'm trying to build a 90's audio system to go in the Renault. So far I've got an RF 8140 HU with Changer, The Outlaw is en-route, an Aliante LTD and some DLS R6's. The R6's are date stamped 2000 so they're going to have to go :lol:

Sorry to go massively off topic guy's

Marko, Did you bag the Route 66 off Ebay the other week???

If he did buy those EQT's, then I had them too for bit!

Did you buy Masons Outlaw? I too have one coming my way, looks like they'll be popular on TA!

Yeah, I bought Masons and I've just bagged an M25 off Ebay so I can run active with the right Cross over, ZPX2 would be nice :D

yes i did run your old eqt's for a season and they're top shelf sq although i did have a little alternator whine i could never shift, none at all with the eq230 8) funny enough i still have 3 brand new eqt covers stashed away for a rainy day some time :D

i did buy the route66 last week, didn't think i was gonna win it then there was a bid retraction and i was back in! she's a beauty too, inside is like brand new, outside is sweet as well, i now have my dream set up to go in at some point...

Nice one on the R66, I did fancy that but the Outlaw seems better suited to what I'm after, I just hope the paint damage to the Outlaw is worse in the pics.

Whats the dream set-up then???


I needed those EQT when I ran Horns in the Galant, Good kit by all accounts, I don't recall getting any alt whine when running them. It sounds like they've done the rounds on TA, I think it was EFMax that bought them originally.

2 route66's on thre front end, all 12 channels bridged to 6, 1 amp per side for ultimate seperation, the m25 sections have all the preamp gubbins removed for ultra sq! just need to figure out how to make each one do a 3way like i need it.
