let me know if you enjoyed it like me.
read it all, or atleast go through the pics.
Oh yeah, and the pic of his wife worth reading till the end.

That's a lot of work right there. Carbon fiber isn't easy to mold right around all those little corners (without a vac. bag setup). It does look nice tho.
Hope that dude was wearing a respirator when trimming all that carbon.

Only thing I don't like is the copper rods for the subs. He should use hollow tubes, remove the insulation from some multistrand wire and run the wire through the tubes. Electricity travels around the outside of the wire, not through it. Right now, the electricity only has one path to travel. He's going to have signal degradation and high resistance. The more strands of wire you have, the less resistance.

i8acobra, are you high? a solid bar of copper is high resistance in your book?
and you think that if a wire has multiple strands that are TOUCHING and uninsulated, it somehow acts as if the strands are separate electrical paths?!
you are probably talking about the skin effect, which only happens at high frequencies (much higher than a few hundred Hz).
Not to mention that there is not that much current going into a sub (coils have a few ohms resistance).

Actually, you're right. I ignored the fact that these are subs and therefore will only see low frequencies.
