My SHARP GF-777Z ** DISCO DESTOROYAH ** NEW Side Bumper Feet & LED Control Switches

[Cpl-Chronic]

Hey Modders & Boombox Fanatics...

Always working on improving my grails the way I want them to be, I decided to update the blaster with new tweeters, crash bar feet & replace the push-button switches with rocker switches...

Here, take a look...

First, new rocker switches for the LED controllers so that I can turn on & off the response of each section to the remote control...

Next I had to shave & JB Weld the feet of the blaster on the back cabinet piece so they would fit underneath the bumper feet I planned to attach....

Here's a shot of them all finished & painted with the new bumper feet installed..

Here the bars are installed & the rest of the blaster is ready to be re-assembled...

Here, the blaster is resting face forward on it's bumper feet & side handles....No part of the front face is touching the glass table...

Finally, everything is installed & ready for a BASS test!!

crazy! (in a positive way) - as you said..you made it the way you want it to be.

nice light show - would also go smooth to some New Retro Wave electrosynth! lot's of effort in this one i guess!

the crash bar feet are not my kind of thing tough.

keep up the good work!

I recognize those bars, are they from a M9998?

Also, did you use regular JB Weld (the old gray stuff that's normally used on metal?), or a different version?

Yup. Good eye Reli & no I used JB Quik. sets in 6 minutes & cures in 4-6 hours but it does have steel powder reinforcement, like the old grey stuff...

Another victory lap with the new tweeters, switches & bumper feet.

!!! WARNING !!! HEAVY BASS TRACK...Turn your speakers down if they can't deal with low bass...

I'll admit that box is the king of bling lol.
I want to hate it but its too bad ass to ignore.
Its got its own style and almost anybody here could easily tell who built it.
These are a great box to build on. I customized a few of these and with the right speakers can kick some serious ass. Honestly they sound flat as a pancake from the factory.

Very unique there Cpl, the front of that box shall never scar or blemish, well protected!

Thanx SLO! I wanted a Super LOUD Conion Killer with a DISCO LED system & bumper bars all over the place & a sweet strap from Blu-Fuzz! Check, check, check & check!! Those are the things that made boomboxes awesome & having it all in one including the ginormous Power BASS Meters, had to be done.

It's also fun to brag that my GF-777Z was the first to have Bass Power Meters, CONION style along the bottom front to display the power output to the Super-Woofer channels...

Fark Yeah, these MOD awesomely.

I saw some of your Triple-7 joints in production. They rock man! I remember the mirror tuner window on one that was so slick! I think you made a monster Lasonic too, right? That's the beauty of this model's design....Everything is so accessible & easy to work on. Just slam some good efficiency 2 to 3.2 OHM woofers & you're slamming out about 40 watts or more across 4 channels. It's right there to be had. On top of that, the beauty of 4 woofers over 2 is the added acoustic coupling which adds about 3db the the sound pressure output vs 2 woofers with the same watts in. That acoustic output from 4 woofers coupling(+3db) is equal to doubling the ampliflier wattage fed to 2 woofers. Basically 40w into 2 speakers = 20w into 4.....same acoustic output(SPL)

Any good working Triple-7 & the like, could absolutely OWN a C-100 with some good, balanced, efficent woofers. 2 Outer 'Mid-bass' type & 2 inner 'Deep-Bass' type woofers with a 2 to 3.2 OHM range. The SHARP also has a more polished & solid build, better decks, a Yamaha Natural Sound look in silver, a kick aZZ dial & VU's for backlighting, & on & on & on....big fan of this model...

This mod is a bit complicated compared to a lot of LED mods out there but I still had the chassis out of this one, this past week, complete & unmolested, including the headphone jacks, harnesses, etc. in about 20 minutes, not even..I had to repair a busted post & re-thread some others that were stripped which I did, using JB-Weld. Now, when you listen to this beast, it pounds cleanly like a tight drum. Every screw is tight & holding strong. I really worked & planned out the wiring harnesses for everything, complete with plugs in certain places to facilitate removal & service without a lot of extra steps. The controllers, wiring, Power LED modules, connections, wiring, etc. all reside along the bottom side of the cabinet & around each woofer, etc. I use a lot of 3-pin & 4-pin fan connectors for the LED strips, remote sensors & sensitivity controls. 2-pin connectors are used to connect power to the various modded LED controllers. Also, when you use fan connectors, you can get pre-wired extenders, for about 30c ea. in bulk, You can link the 12" cables, male to female,endlessly to create your wiring harnesses which promotes easy repair & modification, on the fly. LED strips are wired to a Male 4-pin connector & the controllers are wired to a Female 4-pin connector & can be both fabricated from a single 12" extension cable. This makes fabricating connections & harnesses dead simple, easy to take apart, repair, change etc. Like electrical LEGO.

Sorry for the long reply...

I like the c100f lights at the bottom...

they should of put lights on this system while it was being made in the factory
i think that is what the discolite stereo in maddonna's video was trying to make up for.

Does anybody know the model number of the discolite stereo?
Please sand it me if you know it
