The Effects of Boredom *pics*

Thought I'd amuse you fellas since it's been sorta quiet in here for awhile now. Anyhow...my old APC surge protecter took a sh*t on me, so I trashed it, but the battery was still good. So I had my old RF amp sitting there, along side my BA's...and I thought hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

well I'll let the pics speak for themselves.


The "setup"


Another shot of Avi style wiring.


The kickass box


Decent amount of power from the battery.

The damn thing got pretty loud! Now I gotta think of a way to recharge this sucker when the juice is low. *puts on flame suit*

use a computer power supply



(a 230watt power supply isn't enough for a JL 300/4 and head unit playing the radio low volumes. As soon as you put a CD in it trips )

dukes,

ya need Jesus lol. I thought the speaker was just sitting on the box, the fact that you sat there and made an enclosure, really points to needing better materials Corrugated cardboard has way better sound and you b) have too much time on hand lol
