I just moved into a new apartment. It's small. Small enough to be utilizing wallspace (shelves everywhere). I've been using my budget Radioshack amp to power some wall-mounted speakers (which still haven't been painted). I got tired of seeing amp guts in teetering piles for months on end...

Sweet, I didn't know they had retail dealers outside of their own b&m store. Well now that spring is back I'll be out working on this project a bit more, probably aiming to finish it up (completely) by May. I've laid down 3 2 pretty heavy bondo layers and knocked everything down until it...

I finally got outside, and spent a bit of nice weather I laid down and sanded the first bondo application on the MDF pieces. It's a bit wavy in spots on the pods, but it should even out when I put a second batch on for more coverage. I've dealt with too many ugly glue joints in the past to let...

Other way around with the grommet. You want the sealing end to be in the engine bay.

Plus the personal satisfaction of building them yourself.

I finally got back out to the garage today. I ran out of smokables last week and haven't really wanted to work on it. I guess I know where my inspiration comes from now =P I dry-fit the trunk, base, and pods to make sure everything lined up right, and it turns out that the whole thing feels...

Do they sell products themselves? I haven't visited the site or read anything beyon what you just quoted, but I would definitely think that they have a financial interest in how a product they review sells. There are a lot of clueless 'audiophiles' with more money than they know what to do...

I want to believe that the Subaru sees offroad action more than a few times a year but for some reason I seriously doubt it.

Nope, bought a gun and will be shooting in the paint booth at the gf's dad's body shop.

Ooh man how much did that front bumper cost from Grant?

Lots of both. I have the same updates/pics in this thread over at DIYMA. It's a 12w JBL amp that will be powering 2 Aura NS3 clones from PartsExpress. I basically cannibalized an earlier project for this much cooler setup. Yeah the old thread just friggin vanished. Really odd. Thanks...
