Picked this thing up from Finebar over at crapaudio.com

Overhead

Angle

Imputs

Outputs

And some pr0n for all you pervs

As required by the TOS, my dog. Only took pics of 1 dog because if i take pics of my black dog he just looks like a blob.

Bell

The quality of the pictures isnt the greatest because its a 1.3MP camera and it has no flash.

[Supa_c 1]

Im thinking about painting it black to match the sub ( eD 12o)

[azbass 0]

very sweet, i am jelous. and i like how there are power/ ground leads conected to it al ready

[Supa_c 1]

The power is connected through a distrobution block.

The ground i had to ghetto it and twist the ground wires together and tape them up. I havent found a good solution for it yet. Ideas are welcome

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

FLat or glossy?

Would look good either way.

[Supa_c 1]

Glossy.

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Nice amp

You know I like.

*UPDATE*

Picked up some paint stripper and removed all the paint from the heat sink.

Now, im wondering if i will need to prime the surface and then paint or just go ahead and paint.

I havent chosen any specfic paint and I wanted to know who you guys think makes the best looking black spray paint.

I dont want to spend an insane amount on a can. Just something that looks cool.

Preferably gloss since I want it to match my eDmo 12o.44

Another thing....

Should I re install the autotek badge or leave it off ?

No way it would stay that ugly purple if i put it back on

[Acidburn 10]

just leave it off

[dennisp 0]

paint the badge chrome and put it back on.

i think the gloss black would look nice.

[Supa_c 1]

Just reciently steel wooled it, the thing is blingin.

But There is some parts where the aluminum needs to be sanded down because its not smooth.

I have chrome paint so thats no problem

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Damn! I'm surprised you were able to get that thing stripped by chemical means. Must have been a simple paint versus the PC.

Polish it up as best as possible and shoot a translucent color on it. It will have the appearance of a colored chrome.

[Supa_c 1]

The texture wasnt smooth so im not shure it was PC or not.

I had some real problem spots with removing it.

I kinda polished it, i didnt like that look.

Bought some Duplicolour Acylic paint for it. Same stuff as the truck/van SUV paint

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

looks like a classic

*update*

Ive got some bad news and some even worse news.

To start, i got this nasty naty orange peel in between the heat sink channels.

Then i went to wet sand them out but that didnt work out so well.

Some of the paint started to peel off from the sanding and i ran out of paint.

So as it sits right now, im done sanding and i need more paint.

I also painted the " AUTOTEK" plastic badging, however, the car paint i used didnt stick to the spray paint. SO i sprayed some of my paint stripper on it.

Boy, was that a dumb mistake, it ate away at the plastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I had to cut off all the eaten away plastic and now it looks like crap.

I had no idea it would do that since I used a plastic putty knife to remove the paint from the amp and it had no affect on it.

I highly doubt that there is any of these things just lying around.

Also,

What type of clear should I use ?

I will wet sand the paint before i apply it so it goes on a smooth surface and there is no orange peel.

[azbass 0]

so whats the bad news?

[Supa_c 1]

I effed up the paint.

At this point i dont even care about the stupid sides ( which i wasted a whole dang can on)

because you wont even see the stupid things

[Supa_c 1]

*UPDATE*

Just put a coat of clear on. Right now im not to concerned about the pits because its just to much work to sand the crevices.

[ANeonRider 3]

lazy

[Supa_c 1]

Far from it.

Its not very easy to sand it, i have to use a putty knife.

The clear coat says to use a medium grit compound.

But i dont have any rubbing compounds at my house. Just car wax

[ngsm13 1]

And what are the specs? Did i miss that...

NG

[Supa_c 1]

I looked it up, the manual says 50x4 and 100X1 ( at 4ohms) @ 14.4V

However, it also says that these specfications can be changed without notice.
