You Sir do VERY CLEAN work. I always love seeing someone taking thier time with the thinking and planning, AS the pateince shows in the final product.

I will be tuned in. (I have been since you started)

[ABXX49 20]

I cant believe you started this without me...talk about ruining a grown mans life. looking good buddy. keep up the good work

Well the fans and magnets won't be here for 5-10 days, and I can't do anything until then.

Thanks Jay, I've been watching yours too! I've got some really neat stuff planned for this one, so make sure you don't turn your head!

Sadly i wont be home within the next two weekends so you'll have to keep productive without me unfortunately. Did you get the speakers and stuff ordered yet? I'm eager to get home simply to work on the build

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

I CAN'T wait to hear what you think of the Eclipse HU? I will probably try one in my next build.

I won't be missing a thing in your build as I spend most of my time on SSA in the build logs.

I LOVE SSA!!!

I haven't. I need to get the floor done and the amps mounted first. I can't use those speakers without the amplifiers and I can't use the amplifiers with out the new HU it. And I can't have music until I have the amps in if I put the new HU in...lol

So it's going to be a big all at once thing once the floor gets done.

It might be tough to find one like mine used. Luckily, m5 had one used. I'll have reviews on EVERYTHING once the whole system is done.

[ABXX49 20]

Okay, got a little more done today. These pieces are NOT glued down. I need to wait for my fans before I glue anymore.

[ABXX49 20]

Note to all box builders: Never throw away your scraps! I've made this ENTIRE thing out of scraps I had left over from my entertainment center. The top, as seen above, is four separate pieces that are all cut to the same size. They'll be held down by Titebond and brad nails with a common support beam running all the way across the back on the bottom of the overhang.

[///M5 2,833]

Perhaps you don't want to glue, what happens if a fan pukes?

[ABXX49 20]

After those are glued down, I'm cutting a hole in the top large enough to put the amps in. Then I'm building another panel to cover that which will be held down with magnets.

EDIT: Spelling error.

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Keep the pics coming!

[ABXX49 20]

Going to pull some old case fans and get my front panel done until my new fans come in.

[ABXX49 20]

I got the left side of the front done. I have to go to work now, but will finish the right side and the top panels tonight. Pics to come soon!

Should have told me... i have multiple 80mm and 120mm brand new case fans sitting in a box :\

Ugh. That would have been convenient had I had these plans of fans earlier. I would have had you bring them up...lol

I honestly have like 10.... all black, very quiet. whooooops

[ABXX49 20]

Good progress made in the past two days. Pictures in a bit.

[ABXX49 20]

Okay, long over due:

And this is where I'm routing my wires through:

Tonight I also got covers for the amp holes made. I also rounded off the corners on some of the sides. No pics of either yet, as I'm not completely happy with them.

[Duran 387]

Nice Ryan! I love the T-nuts being used!

[inkfx 3]

Which fans will you be using?

[ABXX49 20]

Nice Ryan! I love the T-nuts being used!

I use them for everything Helps when you have a Fast N All down the road!

[ABXX49 20]

Which fans will you be using?

They are 80mm Coolermaster case fans for PC's. I'll be wiring them up to my remote wire with a relay so when the amps kick on, so do the fans. I was going to use a temperature sensitive controller, but decided to save the cost.
