Custom sound bar for computer desk. built in amp and aero ports....


Recommended Posts

soon to be LOTS of pics... start this a few days ago. i built a prototype awhile ago but looked like shit, so this is the FINAL concept with the built in amp and even some lights.

not the best picture taker, sorry. and some are working at night with poor lighting.

pictures of the starting holes for the dual dayton RS100-4 speakers. also shows my HAND MADE circle jig able to cut holes up to 40" in diameter

more pics... i got the amp mounted and holes drilled for the rca and power inputs. and hand routed the inset for the inputs. sound bar is covered in filler and looks like a frosted cake. i also painted the white led strips black to match the paint...

Looking good!

I hope you don't any any issues with that wood splitting or warping on you over time. That can be an issue with using solid wood and it looks like you used softwood, which isn't going to help.
