Hey D,

Got a neat little project going on with audio IN the house:

One panel a night. I only have four bar clamps... :(

NICE!

The neat thing for me is that I found an auto body paint shop near the shop that will paint the cabinets a nice deep gloss piano black for $150. I don't have to do it! Woot!

Cool you get a deep gloss piano and I get an I6SW to play with.

sqcomp · 03-25-2011, 11:47 PM

Jim mentioned that you two were talking. I can tell you both Jim and myself have talked with Scott about the I6SW for you. We're excited to see where you go with it.

Here's a teaser before hitting the edges on a router, sanding, high build, more sanding, and paint:

DEEP piano black paint job...Thank God I don't have kids yet...

And I thank God for the 2 I have, I love them so much, but man they consume all my time and building power! This thread is over a year now and I'm not done!

AM was correct in one respect, we're never going to be done. That's the beauty of it. We have worthy projects that keep us going!

Speaking of...

Watch out for this as well to come over the next few months. The Bit one is waiting for me at the shop, this is next (can you identify it?):

Anyone want to buy a very well taken care of LRx 4.5?

sickpuppy1 · 03-27-2011, 04:12 PM

Ah, if only I could afford it! I'd love to take that 4.5 off your hands and get rid of my two amps. But its out of my league.....

Tell me about "the never ending story"

BTW... I read I have to ground the chassis of the P99 is that true?

sqcomp · 03-28-2011, 01:39 AM

What does the manual say?

I have no noise and I'm not running some special ground.

I don't recall the instructions to ground the chassis but read this THREAD

I do have a little pop, when turn on or off, I changed the ground twice and the pop didn't go away.

It's very little, when driving you can't tell but in my garage I do hear it, Note that when I move my mirrors I get a tiny Bzzzz in the tweeters :cry

I unplugged the RCA cables going from the HU to the amp and the Pop was still there, same for the Bzzz on the tweets when I move the mirrors (very little though).

derickveliz2 · 03-28-2011, 05:00 PM

BTW
I went to a meeting and after I had to take my cousin back to his house, so I unplugged my IDQ moved it to the trunk (didn't connected back) and let him sit in the front seat.

I told him that there was no woofer in my system but I was going to turn my HU any way.

Then I set the "listening position" to L and R, (instead of L) then I turn the volume a little bit and he was very impressed he insisted that I had a woofer some where behind the dash!

I'm realizing that when your Mid-Bass is strong and properly set, some one who is not into Audio stuff, doesn't really needs a subwoofer.

derickveliz2 · 03-28-2011, 05:02 PM

Bad luck day!

On my way back home a little rock hit my windshield and made a crack about 5 inches.

You could try the deck's chassis ground...

I have a relay going on that delays though.
