installing the stereo, part 2
building the bandpass-case
At the beginning of the month we finished the case for the bandpass-speaker. The volume of 75l must somehow match beneath the bed. But because the woofer itself was too big, we had to mount it diagonal twice, which was not the easiest task that day... at the end we came to the solution that it needs a rhombic shaped board.
Correct name for the speaker: double vented bandpass box:
- double vented: vents in both chambers (vents in the front and in the back of the woofer)
- Bandpass: allows only a narrow frequency range
Here the pictures:
- how it should look like
- hole for connnections
- connector mounted
- side walls mounted
- rhombic board for the woofer
- board installed
- woofer mounted
- planning the vents
- hole for vent
- planning more vents
- all vents done
- top wall fixed
- testing the box under the bed: fits!
installing and connecting the stereo
Power cables are layed on the other side of the van than the hifi-cables, so no interferences should occur.
- cables sliding door
- cables codriver
- cables driver
- mounting the antenna
- installed retrostyle radio
- shiny knobs
- cable clutter, needs some improvements...
