Thats a cool case, I like it
Im all about small cases and there seems to be no wasted space there
The Molex connector is a nice touch too
Tad on the expensive side but still cheaper than a Travla
Im lucky enough to have had a guy custom fab me a basic aluminum box for $50. Serves my needs (case isnt even seen)
Awesome case! Love it.
I received a sample of one of these cases a few weeks ago. It looks very solid and nice -- completely consistent with other car audio equipment. I'd switch over to it but it's a bit larger than my current C134 case so it won't fit in my storage cubby. IIRC, there is actually room to fit two 2.5" drives in there with a M10k.
what about using one of those little square cases for lanners wouldnt' that work any better?
THANKS! I just bought this case ( I must say its really solid) and appriciate the pics as there are zero instructions on how to set it up. I have the .PDF for the M1-ATX, that was pretty easy, but I do have a follow-up question. If you look at the pic you see there are connections to the M1, then the connector that goes to the car for power, notice there are more wires on the car connection then on the M1 connector. Where do these go? Is there a step by step instruction manual on this? Loose wires always make me nervous!
Thanks!!

Kinda neat how it resembles an amp, although it would suck if a theif stole it thinking it WAS an amp lol...

The only wires that are required are the red, black, and white. Everything else is optional. Some of them aren't even connected on the other side.THANKS!

Here's how it wires up:
Wiring harness on inside of case:
Red: + terminal on M1-ATX - constant 12V battery power
White: ignition sense wire on M1-ATX (center terminal between black and red on M1-ATX)
Black: Ground, - terminal on M1-ATX
2 pin header (optional): can be connected to remote amp turn on, or remote switch.
2 pin header from red case LED: connects to LED header on M1-ATX
Wiring harness on outside of case:
Red: 12V + connect to battery
White: ignition switched, can be connected to an accessory wire (this tells the computer when it need to turn on or off)
Thicker Black cable: Power ground
Green: Not connected
Thinner black cable: Not connected
Orange on top: optional, may be used with amp enable or remote switch
Orange on button: optional, may be used with amp enable or remote switch
Does it come with a fan??? Its really weird but told me that the unit does not come with a fan (although up to 3 can be mounted.) I think mp3car ampie case DOES include ONE fann.. i m not sure.. Mods can you please confirm?>?
