Daniel Brill-Edwards Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ok I wasn’t planning on upgrading for a while but an amazing deal came along. I found another of my powerplant subwoofers for sale and the guy selling was in Coventry – a 15 minute drive away from me!! Within a few hours of finding it online I had met up, bought it and had it back in my room at university. Thanks Simon (Cooper) I ordered another Neutrik Speakon connector, some t-nuts and bolts from ebay. I also bought 2x4m of KnuKonceptz 12 gauge Klear Kable from Paul (Hackitt). When I got home for Christmas I went straight into cutting another hole in my box. It took about 7 hours to cut two holes in the 1” thick MDF.

Daniel Brill-Edwards Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Cutting the hole for the second quick release connector The drill overheated there was so much dust from such a small hole!! Tinning the ends of the 12 gauge wire for the run from the sub across to the connector Soldered to the socket pins Daniel Brill-Edwards - Representing English Bassheads!!Old Build Log - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94637-vw-golf-mk3-1996-build-from-england/ New build coming soon with SMD V1 #99YouTube Channel - http://www.youtube.com/brilledwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Brill-Edwards Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 The bolts I ordered were too big so I added a washer and 2 larger nuts to space the t-nuts out. I will order some shorter bolts and use the t-nuts properly Quick release plug I finished it in about 10 hours and had a few problems. Turns out in the dark I had muddled up the positive and negative on one of the coils. The cable is either light blue or dark blue and I got mixed up lol. Also got the + and – the wrong way round at the amp end on one of the subs so they were out of phase!! Rookie mistakes I know but I thought I’d share for people to learn!! Anyway here is a few pictures the next day Daniel Brill-Edwards - Representing English Bassheads!!Old Build Log - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94637-vw-golf-mk3-1996-build-from-england/ New build coming soon with SMD V1 #99YouTube Channel - http://www.youtube.com/brilledwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
