Yea I had my 10" sub hooked up to a 260W Pioneer amp with my old 400W PSU and it sounded great! Just need the yellow wire and a black wire off the psu with a jumper wire to the remote and it turns on

If you get out, you can stay up late

If you get out, I'll let you watch a "r" rated movie

If you get out... (the best one) Ice Cream for Dinner!

I know now that I'm going to have to install a small AC unit in this box with doors.

Me and my son have black blankets being used as doors ATM.


God I'm addicted to playing PS3 in here, BUT PS3 sucks because it has no AA

Can't wait to get the doors on, but I'm going to do my AMD Build before anymore money gets into this box....I have all summer in my eyes.

Screw hearing!

I lost that a long time ago working in shops with no ear plugs!

I want booming bass(which it already rattles my teeth when cranked)

Doors are a must, with a small a/c unit in the back lol

Damulta...try making a hole up top and lay a household box fan on top of the unit? shoud keep things cool, just hike up the blankets a bit to allow for the cooler air to flow.

Edit...looked a bit more...any way to hang a fan in behind the monitor so it can blow out the door in the back?

Peet, that would be a good and fast idea. Box fan doesn't cost TOO much money to do, and if you mod it right...
