So, What Have You Done Today?

My TT02B driver thinks traffic is Dreddful  

The head is magnetized so it can be removed or switched easily.

@topforcein Oh wow, I’ve not seen those since the 80’s?   Nice find.

My recent awesome audio harvest (?) was a Bday gift from my wife last month for a stereo keyboard amp called KP500S by MotionSound.  It has dual 12” Eminence drivers and a simple but effective EQ and enhancer where the audio is unbelievably dimensional with tons of character for music and keyboards.    500w power and more than enough headroom for my little 300sq ft music room.  

Have fun with your speaker project!

Interesting speakers @topforcein, I knew of the brand but not seen those. Not sure why you would put holes in a vented enclosure! Maybe they were mounted somehow?

They could be quite cool when sorted! From what I read they are good LOUD, hope you have somewhere suitable to set them up! 

I live in an old semi-d with neighbours I'd like to keep so my gear is all packed away 

 

the holes where done by the previous owner they could have been mounted by the previous owner 

they where from 1984 sold by tandy's they replaced the mach 1's

i do live in old semi also the one neighbour i dont care about as he is a complete douch tool and the other dont mind as they do play theirs loud also.

when i moved in i had a pair of jamo laser power speakers with 15"'s and was larger than these mach 2's and i sold them as i had both sides elderly people so i sold them and to this day i regret selling them  to this day

Awesome.  JBL’s are definitely nice.   

 

Speaking of boxy items, my wife said a package arrived from Japan..

He looks happy!  Nice ride Edgarmon!!  

[GeeWings 2830]

So much great stuff going on...

@Ziddan I love the build and Dredd is a great fit for it. Drok! Oh, and don't know if you solved it already but I used Velcro for my removable drivers.

@Yoshimitsuloving the look of the Alfa so far, great colour choice.

@Nikko85Edgarmon looks happy with his ride and rightly so!

Is that outside painted. I presume it must be because of the first photo. It looks ace. I’m considering BRG and yellow for mine.?

Thanks, almost all done.

I need to raise the front up a little. At the moment it's attached with screws, but I think I will go with body posts, not least because they give a little flex.

I am super busy at work preparing to be off for paternity leave, getting myself ready for a baby, and also re-mortgaging my house, so I have only had little snippets of an evening to work on this, but I want to get some photos in the Sun, hopefully this weekend and finish off the electronics.

 

 

[Willy iine 18804]

@Nikko85 That’s a lot to deal with!!  Hope you pace yourself and enjoy the weekend.  

Be sure to visit us here when you have a break.

I try to keep my family album out of the red tops 

Seriously, good luck with getting everything sorted before the baby arrives. Get everything thing in order so you can enjoy what’s really important!

I finally finished building my M-06 Lotus Europa.

....and the subs have been re-foam'd...

 

 

What's your experience on re-foaming speakers?   I have to do this to an MK subwoofer.   Thinking of trying it myself.   I don't have a problem with doing the mechanical part of it, just not sure it there's any pre-prep that needs to be down for perfect alignment before gluing.

Glad to see the rear wing is not there. Are those the wheels it came with?

[Ministrone 1455]

No, they’re the wheels that came with the VW Karmann Ghia kit. I was trying to go for an early S1 or S2 Europa look with steel wheels and wing mirrors but without the silver sill covers.

Took the Thunder Dragon and the TCR-M out for a drive. The TD's TZ has new brushes and the body is ready for the TCR-M now, so it will not be running naked this time.

Have not driven the dragon since winter and it is horrible on dry surface. Traction rolled so much that I lost 2 body clips. 

The TCR-M is much more enjoyable. To my surprise, it gain about 3mph more with the body on. 

I last heard the police are looking for the driver doing 37 in a school zone. 

[Nikko85 3439]

It is done!

A little more work on my scale garage this evening:
