This project took a lot longer than expected
but think the extra care taken was worth it!
I have opened up the bushing seat, add a bit more to the axle to axle area while removing it as it now tapers near the pivot pin.
For preorder please head to Terrabang Skate Co.
For far too long the sound systems electronics were just screwed to a scrap of wood with a jumble of wires… Not any longer!
This system is all about efficiency as it has to run for at least 5hours on a single battery charge. This is achieved by taking a ipod line out and feeding that into a tube buffer preamp and then over to the active cross over.
The crossover unit splits the incoming signal to a high and low line out.
I have placed each high efficiency 25w amp in its own enclosure that as you can see is stackable and can be added to as my stack of speakers grows.
I have most of the kinks of the system worked out but waiting on a replacement preamp and tube as this one is slightly crunchy but I can not track down exactly where that is coming from.
Here is a quick rendering of the housing for the latest addition to the Uglie Carnie Soundsystem
This tube preamp helps lift the line level a little as well as add a warmness to the ipod that is usually plugged into it
The case will be cut from opal acrilic and will stack with 6 other amps to power the growing stack of speakers
