Test fitting the assembled baffles in the truck, they are just loose sitting inside and not secured (same with the front walls). Getting some angle iron cut to length for the baffles Now its time to drill a lot of damn holes

Time to start working on the baffles. This first piece will be the template of the others to come. Didnt take a lot of pictures, just repeating that same process over and over. test fitting inside the wall also picked up some hardware to bolt the baffles in and all out of wood once again.. ruff cut wood for the baffles that will be routered out with a flush trim bit to match the first piece. had no template tape so I got some carpet tape, works ok just sticks way too well! 6 out of the 8 baffles made trying to pry them apart was fun... getting holes lined up for speaker holes First couple sets of holes cut (flush and actual woofer cutout), the other 4 pieces will just be copied with the router and a flush trim bit The gunk that builds up on a router bit and bearing after routing out a panel with glue oozing out of it, hence what the CMT Orange stuff is for which easily removes the gunk. Baffles done Did some finish sanding to remove the excessive glue Rounded over the inside speaker holes.

This week i am tossing together a quick little amp rack to demonstrate just how easy it can be to keep your temperatures under control...and how efficient just a few fans controlled by an SMD TM-1 can be. I literally built this in a couple hours time and that includes going to the store for the fans, drinking my coffee, talking on the phone etc. Cooling is obviously very important to the longevity of your amp. Heat kills. Cool amps live longer. So this isn't the ONLY way to do it, but for those who had no idea, this is just one option. Now the CFM is something that will come into play. Just use something that moves good air. These are some basic computer case fans. They are cheap and easy to use. The draw almost nothing. The SMD TM-1 can safely run 5a worth of fans directly off the unit without a relay. Matter of fact a relay won't even work so don't try it. Most fans i have seen are under .3a so the unit can run a lot. These fans actually only draw .16a so if i wanted to i could run 31 off of it! For this demo i am only doing 4. As you will see in the video, it was more than enough. The heatgun i was doing to heat up the chamber could not keep up with the fan system....very efficient IMO. VIDEO IS STILL PROCESSING: it will be here when ready Available in C or F. They also work GREAT on computer towers!

Thank you for this!!! I will apply it to my build because it gets HOT in Texas!!

Lookin good!

I have been smashing down the hahn superdry... top low carb beer

I'm looking forward to them, I really want the 3k. Would be perfect for my lvl 4's
