Scratch Build – In Progress Megablaster 2010 work log (diy ghettoblaster)

Hey... Come on! Post the finished pictures here... NOW! ;D

 

okay, one more at this moment fits nicely on my 70x70x70cm dining table!

 

Oh man. This is ridiculously sexy.

 

If Batman needed a ghetto blaster....this would be it.

 

Whaddaya mean 'if'? Everyone needs a ghetto blaster. No exceptions

 

in fact batman borrowed this last night. he ran out of battery on his own blaster

 

That is seriously cool. +rep

 

Thank you again! I think I'll add two battery meters to see how the NiMh packs are doing. I'm thinking of segment displays with red leds. Maybe place those to the carrying leash next to ipod case. More photos about this later.

 

damn damn damn .. My own ghetto-ghettoblastermod gets nowhere near that skill of perfection! Have you considered building and selling these units?

 

I added 6db/oct @ 70hz high pass filter to the input. Seems to play louder without losing low end. Atleast bass drivers cones are moving less. Didn't add voltage displays, yet ;D

 

Dude, that looks fantastic.

 

slight offtopic, i made some sort of a tv stand. not as planned but still something. ghettoblaster will have voltage meters soon, more pics about that later.

 

Nice set up .

 

Your house looks like a render.
._.


All who believe Drakmin to be a robot sent from the future to destroy us, say I.

 

Freakishly neat is what I thought, but robot makes just as much sense

 

Sorry to disappoint you but I only have slight dust allergy so it's convenient this way Battery compartment door might have enough space for the voltage meters. Here's a quick photoshop addon to my previous render.

 

Nice man, i just now found your topic You choose Visatons from MB 208 Kit? And i recommend to make fast opening for li-po batteries because it's dangerous i even thinking about fireproof bag :S 6 cell of 10Ah it gonna be a lot of smoke and huge fire if it get short :S http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCWdnjLqVWw&feature=related mine should be 10 times bigger if it gets short or discharged a lot

 

Yes I had a LiPo and a lipo bag. My lipo battery was dead so at the moment I have NiMh pack. Btw. Visaton kit is really loud. Then I added additional 70hz highpass and it's even louder.

 

I know i was testing it with my gas trimmer and speakers was overtaking my trimmer sound D You should think also about preamp because with mine test preamp it even louder and cleaner sound than raw input

 

What kind of preamp can I use safely? I remember reading preamp was not recommended atleast for my sure electronics 2x100w tk2050 amp. I have one preamp kit on the shelf, it says:

2-step preamp for 12-30V. Input 2-20mV output 200mV-2V.
