Like a Jeep door (removable), mostly flat and covered with canvas.

Yea I'm about to take my jeep doors off for the summer, and take off the top for the love of the bikini top

I don't think a jeep door would work so well. They are just too heavy.

 

[MKmods]

if it was a frame and covered by canvas or black vinyl it would weigh practically nothing
(not a real door, but something modeled after it)

 

[DaMulta]

O I have half doors like that.

I'll run out there and see how it matches up with it.

 

[MKmods]

lol, could you imaging someone showing up with a 200lb caddy door from the 70s.. Bolt that sucker on and ur game tips right over.....

(but you would have electric windows and a cig lighter in the door.....)

 

[fart_plume]

there is a way to build what you want using a couple pieces of laminate(formica) and some spray foam insulation. but it takes some work. they would be light, strong and acoustically good too........

 

[DaMulta]

well they are 16'' to long. I think I would be better off in looks alone by making my own doors.

 

[DaMulta]

black lament and then having some professional stickers made seems the best way to do the walls in my head now. I do want to cut out a section on the wall so that you can see the PC inside.

I just don't want it right next to the wall. More or less a tunnel look into it in the center.

I found some older 6x9 infinity spearkers to install in the chair so I can install two above me now

 

[A Cheese Danish]

So how many speakers are you gonna have in that thing?

do you know what ohm load the Logitech speakers are?
(mine Logitechs are 6.8ohms, if you use 4 ohm speakers (6X9s) they will sound loud but may overwork the Logitech amp.(cause the amp to overheat)

 

[DaMulta]

Yea they could over work it...O well have to wait and see lol

My bad they are 5x7 infinity 5752CF, and the holes on the back are just a little to small. I'm going to have to cut them out a little or make a wooden adapter for them to fit.

So how many speakers are you gonna have in that thing?

I would like 5 up front and 4 in the back with the sub.

I'm really going to be pushing the Logitech amp...I wonder how I can shield two speakers up front.

 

[MilkyWay]

i was thinking use curtains like a real arcade booth would use, but then it makes it less sound proof

although as a quick fix for the now black curtains for the sides would be ideal

Well, I got 2 speakers from an old projection tv if you want/need em? They would really blend in with the front I might add

Well there are cut outs in the front for two 5x6 i guess I thought they were 6x9 holes.

5x7 is just a hair two small.

I'm about to head out and see if I can cut an adapter for these.

Ah. Well hopefully you can mod something up to make them fit. Would kinda suck to see that nothing is possible for them to work. Course with you I don't see that as being a problem

 

[DaMulta]

I have a small sheet of partical board. I'm just going to cut it out to where I can bolt on the speaker, and then bolt that to the other partical board(the chair)

you can see them clearly.

Shoot, Id hook up a 200-300 watt car amp with a 500W computer PSU to a 12" sub and build the box under the seat. THAT would be some hella bass!

There you go! Make sure those A$$ cheeks get more muscle then your whole body!

Nah, it does sound pretty good to do that. Not that hard to do also..

The sub that's in there now already rattles my teeth out lol


So here is the backboard

The original speakers are gone....They mounted on more or less backwards from what normal speakers mount like. I had to make room for the new ones to fit in this manor

My trace

My not so perfect cut

A little off but you can't see it, and I don't think it will really matter

You can only see threw the grills with the flash.

So in my world what I did works

 

[Cold Storm]

Lol, yeah, in your world "IT ALL WAYS WORKS"

That does look pretty good man. Gotta say that!

Now, I don't know about the "footwear" when doing those types of jobs...

 

[DaMulta]

Those shoes kick major ass Cold!!!

 

[DOM]

nice shoes

 

[A Cheese Danish]

Looks really good D!
Keep up the good work and keep rockin the moccasins
