I have spent all day on the build, and only just finished now (2055 hrs)
So what have I done?
Built two speaker boxes around the speakers to protect them.
Fitted the dash support frame, finally, ( modified yet again, with a bracket to take the heater control)
Fitted the sterio sound system, including the speakers and wiring, all hidden from view, under, and at the rear of the dashboard.
Fitted the heater control.
And before anyone says that the sound system should go in last, bollox!
Not in this build! It had to go in now as the restricted space is so tight, its taken me all day to put it in. There is no way it could go in later as there simply will be absolutely no access at all.
I have double-checked all the fittings, connections and soldered joints, as if something were to fail. fixing it would most likely take several days, as everything has to come out to get to it.
A little bit about the sound system. (which I will most likely never ever use, but wanted the option for it to be there)
I had considered a radio/ music player, but the cost was a lot for something I most likely would not use much if at all.
Then,on the net, I found an absolute gem of a machine.
It was billed as a "micro-amplifier", but it is in fact an FM sterio radio, which scans up to 12 radio stations and automatically saves them for you.
It plays Mp3, so it will play from a phone, ipod laptop etc. It plays USB sticks,
which is how I like to play my music, and its supposed to play SD card, but that function didn't work for me.
It has on/off, bass, treble controls and so on.
It also has a micro remote not much bigger than a matchbox, which does everything, without touching the main machine.
I cannot remember the RMS wattage per channel, but its enough to hurt my ears, but the best thing of all, was the cost.
It was delivered to my door for the princely sum, (including postage) of
wait for it--- £11.90. I was so impressed with it I have bought another one.
Made in China of course, but it makes mockery of the 200 pound sterio.
The chinese must be giving them away free with petrol at that price.
