Will hope to have everything in it tomorrow. Doubt it'll be wired up right away, but I'm going to try my hardest.

Women/Wives!!!!!!! She knew I wanted to get this built for the past month or so and she's the one that suggested I do it this weekend. Got ready to bring it in the house today to install the items and start the wiring, only for her to change her mind. I'm somewhat hurt and upset. She didn't realize the shear size that this was going to be. Now I wasted half a day away and for no real reason cut up a perfectly good sheet of MDF I could've used to build her a box for the install I am doing in her car. Now I have to wait who knows how long to hook up the ADCS-1. Oh well..............


Rant over

I guess it's time to pull the comprimize card........ She has lots of stuff around the house on the walls and shelves so why can't you have something that says who you are and shows that yer more than a working monkey that sleeps there. Years ago I had the same type of conflict at my house.

Just tell her that this is important to you.

Funny you say that. I went through compromise 2 yrs ago. The bedroom was the only place for my stuff before that. She has since let me put some of my music memorabilia in the living room. My wife is the oldest of 8 kids so she never had a bedroom that was just hers. She said she wanted a normal bedroom. It's still far from it as the rest of my collectible memorabilia is displayed in the bedroom. The display stand I guess was just to much.

I think you need another hole :-p

let me know how the clarions sound i would still love to here them. he still has one set i might just buy them.... looked like a great board

I think ot sitting on the garage will be a daily reminder, so o think her guilt will get the best of her and she'll let me bring it in.

looks really nice man
did you finish the face yet though..just thought if she could see it with the exterior painted, carpeted or however you were going to clean it up, she might change her mind, jmtc but I think black on something this size would look really sharp even a jell coat would be pretty cool


if not just pack it all up and I'll shoot you 5.00 for the lot j/k

I was going to put black carpet over it, but of o can't bring it in, I font want to waste any more $ on it.

well in that case my offer still stands... JJ ...work her a bit they usually come around sooner or later

most audio shops just put a counter top laminat over it and trim it with a router. Easy, cheap and clean.

over here they always painted them , a lot of specal paint was used as well, but black carpet stretched over that rack should look pretty killer.... I always liked working with carpet
