The Fairchild Ghost. Subwoofer project.

Absolutely superb, loving the look of this and the detail that you're going into sourcing each individual part, brilliant. Out of interest what are the "silicon end splitter things" actually called, as I've been on the lookout for some of those for some of my cables, but could never find any.

I dont remember lmao.

Currently sat on phone waiting for deliveries but when I jump on the laptop I'll DM you directly to them.
 
OK so the final work day on this visit. I am off home on Friday, but need to tidy all the tools away tomorrow. The next job will be the grille. Routing out the hole for the speaker, magnets etc. For now though I put the last outer panel on.

And then stood it up. Note, I masked inside the terminal holes to try and keep dust out when I get to the sanding and filling stage.

I then removed the failing protective plastic on the perspex.

And then masked it. If you are wondering why I masked inside? well dust will get in there when I cut the hole for the speaker and the gasket only runs around the outside. So I envisioned getting a load of crap in between the perspex and baton.

This also arrived. It is a lot bigger than I thought. It will still work, but I need to mount it differently.

No worries man. I was happy to find those as Chord wanted £15 for two /roll eyes. So today it is mostly tidying things away. Will measure up the VU meter for the various plates I need to CNC but yeah, mostly getting the place tidy. Am off home for a week for a rest. There would be no point hanging on because the weather is poo and the next stage for the cabinet is outside and sanded to within an inch of its life. And filling and more sanding etc.
 
Jumped into the design earlier and knocked out all of the parts I need to do the VU meter.
