Most definitely. :fing34:

Is there usually a keyway on the shaft or is the pulley just a press fit?

There is actually suppose to be threads on the shaft. A nut a lock-washer hold the pulley in place. No key on the shaft. There is a step on the rotor on the backside of the front bearing. The nut and lock-washer pinch the pulley and bearing against the step on the rotor. There is also a step on the pulley to only press up against the bearing race.

Definitely good people. :fing34: As soon as I'm up and running I get some vids made. :)

Ouch?! When you say it like that, it does hurt. :P Yeah, a little lock-tite for the next go-round. :) Probably be down for the better part of a week and a half. Oh well. :shrug:

Finally, I'm back and running. The new alt is in, just had to improvise a bit on the replacement belt. Since I already had a longer belt lying around from my quad alt bracket mis-fit experiment. I opted to use the longer belt with the original idler pulleys the bracket came with. Any who, here is a pic of finished product.

Here are some pics of the finished battery rack install.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. :fing34: Glad you guys are enjoying the build.

Here is a little walk through vid. It's a bit raw and the wind noise is horrific at times so careful with the volume. :P Hope you guys enjoy. Let me know what you all think.

Awesome build!!

Great ideas and craftsmanship!! Make your place of employment work for you!!

Finally someone that knows how to take a video. I hate it when most people keep whipping the camera around and you can't see anything without pausing the video a million times.

I'd love to know what you like/dislike about the horn enclosure versus a ported enclosure.

How well, over how big of a freq. range, does the horn loaded enclosure control excursion versus a ported enclosure?

Last but not least, how about some action vids. We want to see some wangin.

Thanks. :fing34: As for the wind, honestly it wasn't bad at all. It's just the dang mic on the camera is super sensitive.

Glad you liked it all and thanks. :woot:

I appreciate you comments about my video capturing skillz. I feel your pain about whipping cameras around, it gets to me too.

As for having a preference for either a horn or a ported alignment, I have none. I just figured I try giving this nice equipment some justice and have someone with experience tailor a design for my application. I had fun building the box. I liked the challenge, and since I don't have all the equipment to do a proper job I got to meet some interesting people that helped me out along the way. Mainly the panel saw operators at the local Home Depot and a nosy neighbor with some serious table saw skills. :P Now that it's running it sounds all the same. At this noise level it's just violent. I guess any alignment properly done shouldn't sound like anything but the music it's reproducing. The response of this design is down to 25Hz. I set the crossover point between the subs and the mid-bass is set at 60hz.

Action vids are on the way. :morepower1:
