i did not manage to buy aluminium shits to hold the crap together inside today =(

here comes the 'boring' part of banging up the amp
almost done hooking all the connections together,recapping and making it smaller...

need to clean the heat sink with solvents to get rid of the (original)thermal paste all over it and make it shiny again

i see progress

i spent a few hours yesterday trying to rewire something i dismantled years ago....
most of the caps, trace and components has gone bad....even the volume pot is dead
after 3 assemble, check, test later i got it back to good working condition...but it was already late at night. so i couldn't blast test it and my friends over the other end of the world is beckoning me to attend our raya mabook special

this morninh i woke up with a terrible hangover but i couldn't wait to test blast my labtec amp
i will not wire the thing up properly until i mount the components into the 'tube' later
WOW, the results was surprisingly clear, crispy and soomth. it was so unlike the old labtec set that it came from...

yes, the sub i made still vibrates a little and stuff. barely noticable dancing, just sounds a little off surprisingly for i haven't seal the leaking parts and reinforce the base.
overall performance at current state is like what you guys said... better than low and mid range stuff

hmmnn...next will be the satellites... i need some inspiration for design and material again...

im still following....

mixture of edifier and h/k ss..

hehe i was thinking of shopping for sats on monday
it is actually a mixture of altec, labtec and i don't know what yet for sats
the one i use in picture is just for 'testing' purposes

That amp and preamp is familiar, I bet its from Labtek Pulse 424 (yea I know its right in the first place ) I have one before, the preamp broke. Tried to fix it but since I have zero experience back then (maybe 8-9 years ago, forgot the exact date) I throw them out.

the amp construction insdie for LCS2424 is a fail but the TDA7375 inside is quite nice sounding. they have many flaws back then...but after mod... sounds nice.
years ago, for stock speakers they sound alright. i think they made it as a low budget altec acs45.1 competitor
originally it had not so good speakers, horrid caps, 4560 opamp, bad cabling, bad design for splitting the pcb into 2 pieces...etc... but after 'fixing' it up with panasonic caps and shortcutting the cables. wow its nice really! i'm glad i picked this for my project.

i was thinking of something like this for sats.... aquariom shop can make i think



heh i was busy with my life lately, i would like to thank you all guys again for looking at my pics and really nice comments/suggestions
it really made my brain juices flow =)

GOOD LUCK BRO...

THE BIGGER IT IS, THE CRAZIER IT IS, THE BETTER IT IS!!!!

SUPPORT SUPPORT!

for the sats... why not use those oxygenizer water bottles?
they look smoof and sexy

can i book you to pimp my car? haha, pimp vios's back to a portable party powerhous lol. so when i open, its all blaster lol.....

or just the audiophile way, open the inner part of all the doors and fit in real good speakers in between....lol

By the look of it, I don't think it'll fit

i have a few different sizes of speakers to choose from, so i'm not worried about size... but i think i want to go with 3 inches?
go to careefour and aquarium shop later at evening and look whats in market first
heh, im a hack and slash guy. i will be last person you want to do such things to your beautiful car lol
on the other hand, you still can look for class T amps and stuff to shove into your ride?
this guy chchyong89 is more expert
dancing bottles again mer? >_< glass mar heavy and solid

i really like the idea of glass speakers http://www.gstspeakers.com/index.html
have a look...its awfully nice
