yeah.. i said craftsman. hahaha
so yeah, got bored one day so i decided to goof off with some extra equipment i had sitting around. the deck had a fried internal amp, so i hooked it up to a factory toyota amp.. worked perfectly. then i whipped up some quick little pods for my 6 1/2 infinity ref's. first time getting to build something useful out of fiberglass so that was tons of fun.
then i scrounged up a box that would fit in the drawer area for my 10" jl w0. airspace calculated out right so in it went. just had to whip up a facing for it to fill the front.
after that, just had to mount the amp, cap, and find a power supply. didn't wanna spend a lot on it, so i decided to take a cheap pc power supply (gotta love dynex margin) and get power from that. 21A on the 12volt rail? perfect! .. $20 later, i opened her up and desoldered all the computer plugs i wouldn't be using. with those gone, i just soldered 8g wire to the thing and hot-wired the switch.
lame part is, the psu doesn't seem to like the cap much, cuz with the cap hooked up it won't power up.. i dunno. maybe the cap's bad.. one of these days i'll have to play with it some more.
but yeah.. hope you enjoyed it, and i'd love to hear some feedback,
