Holy shiat bro! Can I send you my two 931s to do the same thing?! This is the coolest mod ever!!!!

So are you powering this with amp chips from both or just from one? Will it run on batteries? Im so intrigued yet so confused on how this is gonna work. I need some specs. This is awesome. I'm cool with no radio or tape...this is an aux monster!

Thanks man, I did bench test all the speakers running off one amp (in parallel) for about an hour with all Bass-heavy tracks through the line-in.. They weren't in an enclosure so the sound wasn't on point but those 8"s were movin! The cooling fins were hot to the touch after that hour or so but I was overworking them on purpose..
It will run on batteries also, for how long I guess I'll find out..

Looking good! I was curious as to how you would make the cassette sections work out.

This is the BADDEST ASS project!

I can't wait to see the final project....

I'm a Lasonic fan and I approve this message / project

Thanks Chris for your strong endorsement!
I realize hacking a box apart doesn't appeal to everyone's tastes, but I am a "kustomizing addict" and really enjoy personalizing my possessions.. I'm just glad this vision of mine is really happening, as I pondered just selling them because I didn't think I had time to restore them!

Mind blowing! That thing is going to rock every damn block there is. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Rock to the beat of your own drum bro!

Last night I used 3M windshield urethane to help bond the speaker plates to the box.. Even though there are screws in each corner holding them on, I wanted inner area to be bonded as well.. maybe eliminating rattles of any kind..?


Welded the plates to eachother and also to the box as well, tying everything together!


Reinforced the weld seams with some more epoxy resin..

oooooooh mama

Lowering the handle height 3/4" which is the maximum that still allows the handle to fully fold down..
Drilling new holes and reshaping the ends worked perfect!




It brought the handle down to a more "classier" height.. less lawnmower handle and more shopping cart handle..

Dude, what are the measurements of that bad-boy?

 

[Reli]

Very cool......what color you going to do it in? Personally I like the looks of it now, with that yellow tape. Paint the speaker rings yellow or green or some other combination of 80's neon color!

This is just badass!

Yeah, I got to know, how long is that beast?

 

[JustCruisin]

Yeah, I got to know, how long is that beast?

37" long x 14" high.. I think I might have the color picked out and it will look really clean!
Any color is going to stand out since we are used to them in black...

It feels good to pick it up, pretend to carry it, and touch it.. because it was all just an idea in my head, that now is becoming reality!

It's hard to tell it's size without something of reference.

But a 3 foot long radio with certainly get peoples attention!
