The Fairchild Ghost subwoofer project

OK that is it for today. Got this done and finished, then removed it and packed it away.

I then cut all of these to size. The reason why I did it now is because it will be impossible down in the port area once the only access hole is the woofer hole. I also needed to do this now and then number and pack them away so they don't get filled with dust when I cut said woofer hole.

And I created this pic to reference when they go in permanently with contact adhesive.

I can get the remaining side panel on tomorrow now.

OK so the final work day on this visit. I am off home on Friday, but need to tidy all the tools away tomorrow. The next job will be the grille. Routing out the hole for the speaker, magnets etc. For now though I put the last outer panel on.

And then stood it up. Note, I masked inside the terminal holes to try and keep dust out when I get to the sanding and filling stage.

The front.

I then removed the failing protective plastic on the perspex.

And then masked it. If you are wondering why I masked inside? well dust will get in there when I cut the hole for the speaker and the gasket only runs around the outside. So I envisioned getting a load of crap in between the perspex and baton.

This also arrived. It is a lot bigger than I thought. It will still work, but I need to mount it differently.
