1. Underneath of that MDF it's empty. There is somekind of metal system where the sparetire was locked, so i used it to lift mdf uper.

2. When the cover is open its running with less temps and less noise.

3. Lucky me that botle was empty.

I have some problem with my cars turn signals and i have to take my headunit off, so i didn't get new pictures today. i'll try to get some pictures at weekend.

Guessed that, but in the picture it just looks like a block of candle wax

actually, if the cover is off, it messes up the airflow. the airflow should be such that air comes in one end and out another whilst passing over the CPU/harddrives and videocard. If there are too many cables and they are not tidy this also effects it creating the build up of heat.

Having said that, there is many a time when I operate with the covers off.

ps. that same sub has been on Dj work in clubs, stages, and in my car and i payed about 30Euros when it was " new peace of *****" I just needed sub for one gig...

heh - strokers.....I was looking into those a few years ago when I was big into the SPL scene....now there are subs out there that absolutely BLOW the stroker out of the water though.....

good to see that it's lasted this long though!
