Uglie Carnie Soundsystem!`

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

A while back I ask a buddie I once sold a board to if I could use it for an event. He was kind enough to shipped it to me by air mail and long story short, I totally chickened out and was too lazy to partake in the skate … To be even lamer I never got round to sending the board back but have finally found something a little nicer to say sorry with….

Wrapped it this afternoon and shipping it to you first thing in the morning, once again very sorry for taking far to long to get a board back to you!

Late, late, late night…. Early, early, early morning….

Worth every gram of sleep deprivation!

You can change wheel base with only 4 bolts and one hex key! More photos to come but now its time to skate!

My thread die arrived so I have managed to cut a few axles and lock the first into this little green 96mm wide Bennett

This truck will be taken for a short test ride to assure it will sing and then will be up for sale. With the precision axle, faced hanger and polished pivot this truck would be at home on any tight slalom board. For more info and pricing click either of the photos.

Since I am now still waiting on an axle threading tool to arrive I could not help putting some more time into the pivot

Started with the biggest file I could find and worked my way round to a plastic pot scrubber and cutting compound.
