Hmm, well I think we should make a club for others like us to join.

Was that a hint? I'll check it out, I'm guessing that they were expensive? Haha

Nah it's fine, not like much else is happening here anyway.

[uhoh_45]

yeah for as much traffic this site gets theres a bunch of builds but no one seems to care unless its a band wagon build

ha 8 years ago your MT build woulda been off the charts but now adays nope

and the 26" of .25 x 1.5" copper only cost 20% or so and i got 8 stainless carrage bolts/nuts/lock washers at home depot for 3$ or so so cheap bars

Yeah eh, there has to be something truly crazy to get proper attention. I'm hoping that whatever I do for my next build will get even more viewers, especially since I have to be doing 160's lol.

Yeah, it seems that people are becoming desensitized to big builds now, even when listening to them. Like, if you look at Steve's vids, in the old as ones pretty much everyone bailed, now barely anyone bails. Now I'm pretty sure that it is way louder now than it was back then.

Hmm, that ain't bad, still sounds real nice though

Not everything has to cost heaps to be nice eh

I liked the updates.

Whats your opinion on those brain/EQs? I have never used one and i wanna get one, any brands to look at?

Thanks!

It's not an extra, it is literally the brain of the headunit, the screen unit won't work without it. Pretty much all you have on the back of the screen unit is 2 connectors for the wires that hook it up to the brain, and a socket for the wire loom with the power, ground and maybe a few other wires.

All the RCAs connect to the hideaway brain, as does the antenna, and the remote wire and speaker wires also come out of the brain.

Oh, on this unit there was a pair of RCA sockets dangling out the back of the headunit, but we didn't know what they did so we left them.

The EQ settings on this are ok, you only have 2 bands but you can pick which frequency you are changing though, as well as the width of the boosted/cut section.

Would you like a video of it maybe? I can go through the various settings and stuff.

I'm no expert on hideaways, and I've never seen them before this one, so all I could say is that kenwood makes them (or made them at least). It's nice having a screen though, really easy to navigate through settings and everything, plus you can watch movies and stuff, I really recommend them.

Who wants more updates? I'm busting out the fleece, chop mat and resin today

And 7 more days of me cleaning the shit out of my pants worrying about getting it mostly done in time. I really am shitting myself

This was from last Sunday but I don't think I've put it up yet.

A rift kinda opened up in the baffle, so part of the baffle was now made of a sheet of 1" MDF and 2 bits of 0.5". lol. We filled it with glue and screwed it back together though. We also upgraded to big screws since the small ones were what caused the problem.

These are from today.

Stapling the fleece on, there are lots of staples in here, 1 every 3mm or so. haha. Otherwise it ends up too loopy.

And stapling up the other side.

It's all resined up now, the first side was done at like 12 so the heat and copious amounts of hardener meant it was dry pretty quickly. The other side was only resined up an hour or so ago so it should be ready by morning.
