Waiting for my neck muscles to bulk up a bit. The plywood sides are 1" thick and the Mahogany pieces are 3/4" thick even though they look thinner since I rabbeted the edges. Then of course, there's the drivers/crossover/etc. I think they weigh about 20 lbs each... maybe a little more.

Nice!

Perhaps a shoulder mount solution would be the way to go.

The little guy on the top is the SOUL Mini. It's a DIY 3-channel active-ground amp designed by our own psychoaudio which has undergone heavy modifications from the original design. The big guy below should be no stranger to you guys as it's the very popular σ11. Together they form a very musical combination which is very hard to beat at their price range.

I thank Ti, Dhaninugraha and Psychoaudio for making this happen.

Finished beta-22 + sigma-22. This thing dwarfs my dorm room. The whole thing is made from 3/16" scrap aluminum that I rescued from the shop at school. It was a little beat up, and has some dings that I couldn't sand out, but that adds character. The finish is just 600 grit with an orbital sander. It is and is held together with aluminum L-bracket at the corners.

I have a Valab stepper, and amphenol jacks, with a neutrik powercon umbilical. The switch is a bulgin latching model, and is connected to a relay.

The amp is 3 channel, not balanced even though it has a 4pin xlr jack. I just used xlr to negate the short problems with TRS and 4 pin so I don't have to recable my phones again or make new cables if I go balanced.

I will post better pics when I can borrow someones camera.

Here's the birth of a Power Supply. I got my transformer in and hooked it up. It outputs +/-400V and +/-15V. So far so good. The initial tests went well. Hopefully, I'll get it hooked up to the amp tomorrow.

Here a pic...



PS Nice construction job tintin47. Was that done with a CNC?
