Well im sitting here living the dream of loudness.
Laurie was having troubles with his speakers and decided to get some more, so i directed him to the most fucking awesomest speakers ever made for under $500.
Needless to say he loves them and they in turn love him with 180 watts of RMS subwoofer power..
anyway, he gave me his old Altec Lansing 4.1 speakers, and they were in a bit of a state of dis-repute..
The rear speaker's cable was cut and only the rubber shielding was conected.. (eg the wires wernt..) and the main controller speaker has a bit of a "trick" to making it work (u gota wedge something over it to force it down onto the connections..
NOW i wasnt able to fix the bad connection, as its hot glue guned in, and i mean ALOT of glue..
But the speaker cable.. it had it coming..
First of all i just applied some pressure and the speaker basicly fell off the cable..
then i had to work out how to open the speaker its self...
(Note, no manual was supplied :P ) anyway after trying a pry apart manouver, much simmilar to the one that opened lauries ipod, i was unsucsessfull...
So to release some rage i bashed the end of the speaker with a screwdriver, which revealed poped off the grille and gave me access to the screws and then the underbelly of the best..
Again, Hot glue was used with wild abandon and glee in the Altec lansing factory..
After re-drilling a hole (with a pair of old scisors), and cutting a wedge out of the hot glue with a stanly knife, i managed (after using some plyers) to get the cables thru my new scisor drilled hole, then cut the old cable, stripped them, and re-connected them and wallah! u have yourself a new working speaker..
So to summ up.
Thanks laurie.
These speakers are fucking awesome.
And now paired with my shitty old speakers, im running a 6 speaker system.
Its a little confusing, but i can upp the fuck out of the centre speaker to feel the burn of ...sound i guess.
In other news i have a subject where the assingment is basicly to make a level for a game..
For once uni is paying off.
In a good way.
Much love.
Glen.
