That's nice work! Did you do the graphics yourself or were they already there? If you did, can you explain how?

Thanks!

They are vinyl graphics. I cut them with a Roland plotter out of carbon fiber vinyl. The plotter is in the same shop as the CNC machine.

are you still up to making a batch if we get a big enough group purchase?

interested in getting one and i know others will be too

Mostly just doing custom fabbing. I cannot get enough people with the same hardware in on a group buy. Ill be happy to work with you though on an enclosure for your via. Let me know what dimensions you need.

would you be willing to make me a enclosure identical to your last one? That is PERFECT for what I need

G20T · 12-25-2006, 03:06 PM

the looks really cool, it almost looks like an amp my enclosure is just slidely bigger, 4 high 10 width and 13 lenght

I think that should say black box - do not destroy lol...

looks great though.

Will there be any more of these made? I have a MCS case now and it is just a bit big for what I really want to do. I would need one with an open end to use the plate that comes with my Jetway because it has (of course) different outputs than your original design.
Please let me know.
David

I can make you a custom case David. Email me at joe.shock@gmail.com with your specifications.

I have a suggestion.

I didnt get a chance to read all of this thread, so it may have been said already.
I think you should include a cover for the side of the case where everything hooks up. That would create a suuupperr clean install. I real quickly used paint to show you what i mean. It would consist of the side, top and bottom edges, and a top or it could be covered by the lid as well....

I see this design a lot with amplifiers.

then the wires can be bunched and evacuated out the bottom. I also think the power wires would go through the left side and out the bottom of the added portion.

blk02si · 05-07-2007, 09:58 PM

Thats a really hot idea! Reminds me of the rockford fosgate amps that have a cover to conceal the wiring. I will work on this.

I was looking at fabbing my own case out of aluminum and was wondering if your brake was equipped specially to bend all four sides of the box up. I'm using a smaller brake like this one. I don't see how, once two of the opposing sides are bent, how to bend the other two. Thanks for any help.

That brake is only for singe bends.
You need a pan & box brake to do what you want.

That's what I figured. Thanks.
