Looks great so are you going to stain the plywood or add something over the top 
kick ass thread, you’ve done awesome work up to this point. Also what a score on those air compressors!
There will be some type of laminate over the ply. Just not sure what yet.
Hell, may fill the lines and just poly it
Thank you brother 
I have a ways to go yet. 2 12" subs need built in yet, the center speakers and the surround speakers. Also have shakers for the couch 
Tough to beat my 1993 Kenwood 
She will look all modern now though…hahah
I have a1976 realistic amp that really pumps out the watts as well as the radio and tape deck, had to get a modern vynil record player though.
the quality of the cables in the system make a big difference in the sound.
I know you have to use what you have but ask around someone might be upgrading to even better connections
I have gold plated high end rca cables, I will put those on once I route it all 
Give it time.
The ingenuity in this thread is amazing and inspiring.
Give it time…
Thank you for the kind words. Still, a long way to go, but quite honestly, pretty damn proud what I have done, and what I am doing. Especially since “they” said it was impossible.
I have come to learn something about our country during all of this. It’s not a lack of minimum wage that we have, it’s a LACK OF SKILLS that this country has. You can live a damn fine life still on one income, under 50 grand a year as a family.
And this place is in no way perfect, nor ever will be. But will always be paid for, and imperfect by my own hands.
I renovated and put an apartment into a dilapidated century home in a major city with no experience. So I know a little something about what I’m talking about.
You’ve done some very fine work. The real trick will be to figure out when it’s “done.”
I did have someone throw a lit flare on my roof when I was a teenager. He didn’t want to apologize at first but after some “convincing” he changed his mind.
Yes, that sort of action would probably encourage me to do some convincing of my own.
What a dick move.
