Will be there, but sir pull-a-beat is not finished yet (bike trailer boombox)

 

Also in for the charity - if I may suggst, Louis Botha Children's home has a cycling team (and they sukke baie with funds and kit) - how's about that? The home itself are also always on the hind foot.

I've got the basics done, wheels, sub frame, got some speakers but need to decide how heavy I want the setup :) Also trying to source a good headunit that can take MP3's and aux input for Ipoods, gonna build the top out of fibreglass.

Biggest issue I'm having is how loud to go ... I'd love me some decent bass, but that comes with high-power amp(s) and that comes with high current drain ... so I may end up going for something a little less audacious and end up hooking up 4 6x9's to a 4 channel headunit ... although that bloody pair of 12" Calibra's are giving me the hairy eyeball every day :)

2 x 12 inch! Yeah! :thumbup:

 

The current issue was partly on why I wanted to the headunit less way, with some amplification... That means that should you not run it at full power, you will not have max current as well. Whereas the headunit will use a fair amount of power to light up the lcd, play cd's etc...

 

But I would like to see how it turns out!

...as long as whatever it is you are building can BLAST out 'one more night' by Maroon 5 ..... :clap: (one of my many favourite 'tunes' of the moment...) :w00t:

Hmmm... No issues with that... I do have the Overexposed album... SO you can choose the normal one or the Sticky K Remix...

Second line of thinking is hooking up a 12v Battery with an inverter and then some form of mini hi-fi or some such ... but blegh. I'd rather start weighing two batteries lol.
