    Forgot the pics:

    Just got a Mahogany panel. Same project but with new stereo and speakers. ?

    After a couple more mistakes I'm finally done! This radio pulls in stations that's out of town so it's weak and mostly static. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyEVRb4mcLc&feature=youtu.be

    Nearly finished. Waiting on the antenna cable before I can close it up but here it is.
  5. Boarder
    Glue works. ?
  6. Boarder
    Painted! Let's see how it look installed. It's a coincidence that the paint matched the cones of the speakers. ? Cutting a straight line with a dremel is tricky even with the guide but by the time I cut the bottom part of the hole I got the hang of it.
  7. Boarder
    So far today... still working. ?
  8. Boarder
    Bench tested.

    They're in and I see what you mean about the cage. It's separate from the housing. I didn't know they separate. Here's the stereo: Here's the speakers (showing one): The PSU: Some tools: Let's see how it fits:

    They are but these speakers are going to look cool. ? Out for delivery today. ?
  11. Boarder
    I get a rush from... RUSH!

    Ok I will but are there any cool card to consider (budget wise)? I realized I have the 6670 to fall back on (in my i5 PC) though.
  13. Boarder
    True I don't need a card but how much longer is it going to last?
  14. Boarder
    It came out in 2012 and when I built my i3 PC in 2013 I bought a Sapphire HD6670 1gb DDR3 128 bit video card. Later I upgraded it to Sapphire HD7770 1gb GDDR5 128 bit. It's been in 3 builds since. Since I'm not a heavy gamer it doing well with me. Compared to today's budget video cards, how dated is my card? My card is 7 years old so what a good VC to look at budget wise?

    I have a Rizen 5 2600 and I'm real happy with it. Real bangs for the bucks. If mine runs that good hell, the bigger Ryzens are going to blow you away.
