There is going to be some fairly epic updates coming shortly! Well, at least for me as there's not many others who share my enthusiasm for audio.

Over the past few weeks I have been gathering together a few new car audio purchases for a new set up (3-way active, currently running 2-way active). I am about to strip out my entire system and redo everything myself in an OCD, neat-freak install. I have never done any sort of metalwork in my life before this (we only had woodwork in my days at school). I used my school's design & technology rooms to knock up a "bus-bar" that will accept 3 grounding terminals under the bonnet. Battery negative will run to bus-bar, the other two terminals grounding to chassis, with the bar attaching to a location on the engine for another ground. Although it's really, really simple I am absolutely stoked at the finish. The aluminium was wet sanded with 400, 800 then 1200 grit, then hit it with a Dremel and abrasive brush for a nice satin/billet finish.

Once all my new goodies arrive in the post, I'll update with some more photos.
