Thanks Jay, I've been watching yours too! I've got some really neat stuff planned for this one, so make sure you don't turn your head!

Sadly i wont be home within the next two weekends so you'll have to keep productive without me unfortunately. Did you get the speakers and stuff ordered yet? I'm eager to get home simply to work on the build

I CAN'T wait to hear what you think of the Eclipse HU? I will probably try one in my next build.trink40.gif

I won't be missing a thing in your build as I spend most of my time on SSA in the build logs.

I LOVE SSA!!!wub.gif

I haven't. I need to get the floor done and the amps mounted first. I can't use those speakers without the amplifiers and I can't use the amplifiers with out the new HU it. And I can't have music until I have the amps in if I put the new HU in...lol

So it's going to be a big all at once thing once the floor gets done.

It might be tough to find one like mine used. Luckily, m5 had one used. I'll have reviews on EVERYTHING once the whole system is done.

Okay, got a little more done today. These pieces are NOT glued down. I need to wait for my fans before I glue anymore.

Note to all box builders: Never throw away your scraps! I've made this ENTIRE thing out of scraps I had left over from my entertainment center. The top, as seen above, is four separate pieces that are all cut to the same size. They'll be held down by Titebond and brad nails with a common support beam running all the way across the back on the bottom of the overhang.

Perhaps you don't want to glue, what happens if a fan pukes?

After those are glued down, I'm cutting a hole in the top large enough to put the amps in. Then I'm building another panel to cover that which will be held down with magnets.

EDIT: Spelling error.

Going to pull some old case fans and get my front panel done until my new fans come in.

Ugh. That would have been convenient had I had these plans of fans earlier. I would have had you bring them up...lol

Tonight I also got covers for the amp holes made. I also rounded off the corners on some of the sides. No pics of either yet, as I'm not completely happy with them.

Which fans will you be using?

They are 80mm Coolermaster case fans for PC's. I'll be wiring them up to my remote wire with a relay so when the amps kick on, so do the fans. I was going to use a temperature sensitive controller, but decided to save the cost.
