My JVC RC-M90JW ** Project DISCO M-othership-90 ** FINAL TOUCHES

[Cpl-Chronic]

Heyya Box Freeeeks!!!

I played around with the idea of adding some sort of finished edge to the body lites on my DISCO M90-SS. The holes always seemed to need a finishing touch to make it look more in sync with the rest of the blaster's design & asthetics. I decided to try out some sterling silver grommets to line the holes for the LEDs & they look like bright shiny rivets...check it out

More videos to come.....Stay tunded.....

Nice Touch.

Although I probably would never drill through an M90 should I get one...I gotta admit the grommets raise the bar and keep it much cleaner than the raw holes. Also digging the paint detail and the woofs. Nice.

It is a nice touch.

But aside from that, those speaker grills are sooo blue. Is that standard or did you paint them, they look good.

Thanx guys for the encouraging words.

Check out a video of it all finished up:

They are Sterling Silver grommets used for making jewelry & crafts, etc. The nice part is the grommets have a short barrel which lines the bore of the hole & concentrates the light emitting from the LED. The result is a brighter, more even LED to the eye. Win/win.....

The grommets are definitely a nice touch.

From the looks of it I could tell they were painted blue.

The grommets look good on the M-90, but I have to say never would I drill holes on my M-90.

Just the thought erks me! :annoyed:

HA-HA-HA!! LOL!! Well, to me it just seemed natural to bring something new to the M90 looks & make it my own while pulling off a really sweeeeet customization that is hard to copy. My M90 was rough cosmetically, the deck dragged a bit before it was fully gone over, in addition to the woofers & tweeters were cracking too. This was no shelf queen & it had some operational issues I needed to fix so I figured I might as well paint it up, shine it up & pimp it out with killer free air bass/mid woofers & some minty PHILIPS tweeters & a KILLER RGB LED system. I may even add some sweet Grundig roll bars to protect the front....I might put it to a vote.
