robola 46 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Ok dude’s, here the update of the sawn amplifiers. A World scoop of the First Siamese Twin JL Audio Amplifier… OO Y EAH And now the truth of the 2 amplifiers… They were empty inside. And I managed to order them like this. I’m able to do some crazy things, but saw through a perfect amplifier with pcb would be a bridge too far. These are the 2 parts I’ll be using. The meaning of these 2 pieces is that I’ll be putting these against the other amplifiers. As you know, I hate seeing cables in an install. These pieces will serve to cover up my cables. As I put them together, they don’t fit 100%...so… The black sides are a bit bulb and that’s how the aluminum on top won’t fit. I sorted this out quite simple by milling some off. You can also see I put the disc into the front. This is how it looks now, and you can that they fit perfect ! This is how they’ll lay… For me the finishing off will be much nicer when there are no cables to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtnbikecrazy55 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 You seriously hate cables, don't cha?! The copper pipe is the cleanest connection I've ever seen! Bravo idea on tge amp cutting!! How did you order them that way? Just call up JL and be like " I need casings for an amp cuz I wanna cut them in half" or did you have to tear them apart yourself? I thought you had said you ordered them but I was just checking. Were they pretty expensive? Or were they like a fourth the cost of tge amp? Amazing ingenuity as always!! I hate long signatures.... ...what the fuck is wrong wiht you you fucking fuckity fuck fuck head... Mtnbikecrazy55 Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our belgian distributor managed to get 2 empty shells. So you should also be able to get them via official distributors or resellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robola 46 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 As you may know, the car is exactly how I wanted her to be. Because I wanted to keep her so clean, I needed to make something to cover up the rear bumper. Now the time has come that I need to get in and out of the car 500 times for the ICE install, so I made a cover out of fiberglass that goes over the bumper. Here you can see I did some taping first. Once I had this, I strechted some speakercloth over it, and taped it off again. Then I added 3 layers of fiberglass cloth. With 3 layers of polyester, I don’t need to fear any scratches… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Here you can see the model of the cover. You can also see I painted it black. I had a couple of meters of Carbonkevlar laying around here, and since I don't work much with that material, I used it to make the cover. Carbonkevlar is an even bigger assholematerial to work with then normal carbon fibre. I cut out a piece from 700x135 cm. My biggest problem was the piece was muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch to big to do by myself. But I still wanted to give it a try. Here a picture of how it'll look. This layer of epoxi needs to be abraded firmly until it's smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
