MattBlackMinibus - Progress Report

[MattBlackMinibus]

lets see the ice install

Well it's going through changes at the mo, so here's some equipment pics for now -

Ipod and xbox and 400gb hard-drive player, into home pre-amp


Kenwood KDC-W3037 to boost the levels


Audi Control 4XS and 2XS to split up the frequencies


Denon DCA800 and DCA400 for the mids and tweeters


Rockford 160a2 and 500a2 for the mid-bass and subs


CDTechnologies 6s and tweeters


Rockford Audiophile 6" and JL 6" midbass to go in front doors


Another Punch 15" DVC


and then a 3-way set-up in each rear door and some monitors here and there, but they'll come laters.

OK. I've got a bandit1200 which needed painting,
so after seeing MadMax's ausie van with it's most excellent marbiliser paint effects,
I thought I'd mess around with a budget rattle-can version on the Bandit.

Fist painted a board matt black, then added some crackled red white and silver.
This is what I got -


I liked the silver on black, so did the bike panels -

Then lacquered them.

I've got some bags of different coloured metal-flakes coming in the post now,
so will be having a play with them before I decide how to do the van

There are some videos I watched a while back of different effects you can get on line, BUT I can find them now... have been looking for them for the last half hour
Cant remember if they where on youtube or what

[MattBlackMinibus]

Nice one, cheers Alan
Just found there's a few ideas on metacafe

My metalflakes just turned up in the post,
6 bags of different colours

Let the fun begin

[AlanN]

look forward to seeing your fun!

Paul it looks really Gothic looking IMO, either way its m8

[MattBlackMinibus]

Cheers matey

If I'm gonna do the whole van,
there's gonna have to be a lot more going on to keep the eye interested.
Got lots of ideas, but need a theme to pull it together,
stop it from looking boring.

Months of trawling pictures of custom paint jobs for ideas and inspiration:roll:

[MattBlackMinibus]

Quick update to say I've done nothing with the van for ages
Money does not allow this progress report to progress.

Did pick this up though ...


and have fitted it, but got no pics yet (Sorry AlanN )

What brand of player is it? Because i would like to get one if possible

[MattBlackMinibus]

I've got an AQUAplus by SUMVISION,
but there's loads of types on the market.


SOUNDS UPDATE:

Just got hold of a 10db Signal booster to use instead of a head-unit,
cos I never really wanted to run a head unit anyway
