@Celery - How do you plan to power your unit? It will require a pretty capable power supply. I used one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UHI3NGS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Interesting. I have a 12V 1A wall wart. I guess 1A is not enough?

Make that 1200ma.

On second that, I'll get that unit instead. Thanks.

 

[Celery]

I think I'll get this instead.

[Celery]

Nah, found something better.

That should be ample and no fan.

Looks like a decent choice.

When does your Blaupunkt unit arrive?

 

[Celery]

Happens to be coming... today!

 

[Celery]

My stereo came in today, a fucking roll of cable. Man I am so pissed.

I think they pulled it after seeing everyone jacking up their prices.

Note to admin, I tried to upload a video and it asks me to use the video field. Sure no problem but where is it?

 

[Celery]

My project so far:

Lots of sanding.



Partly built box.

 

[strollin]

Bummer about your stereo. Did you order a replacement?


Your box is coming along nicely.

 

[Celery]

Thanks. They're out of stock. There was 3 left when I ordered it so it must been all gone by the time they got around to my order.

Sending me a fucking cable instead of a refund just flat pissed me off. Now that I've returned it back by UPS. I'm waiting for them to tell me that I didn't return the stereo.

I've noticed that one edge of the box had shifted slightly when running the screws. I corrected it by moving the screw over an eighth. Now I'll need some spackle to cover the holes. The box will be painted once it's finished.

If you look at the picture of the box look at the upper left corner and you'll see the shift.
