Post a picture you took today

Nice upgrade! You have four subs? Tell me about your speakers, receiver, any amps and other peripherals please.

Yea 4 monolith 10’s, the amps actually took a shit and ended up getting some PSA audio 500 watt amps and threw them on.

Receiver is an older Onkyo ht-r420, and a pair of Polk audio R50 tower speakers, bottom of the barrel but good enough for me right now. I do want to get another pair of the R50’s and put em on the sides of my couch and maybe a center channel since the receiver had an output for it.

What motor is that and what are you doing with it?

 

[Kidd-7]

Window motor, cleaning out the debris. There were shards of the plastic pucks all over the worm gear. I was expecting the motor assembly to come off the body in one piece, but instead the armature came out and the brushes popped out.
Have it back together.

At first glance I thought that was a pipe expander lol

I took mine apart like that for the same reason. Couldn't get the brushes to line back up when reinstalling the rotor to put it back together. Had to throw the thing away and buy another one.

That also caught me by surprise, but at least it's an opportunity to really clean up in there.

Masking tape, needle nose and an extra pair of hands.

I’ve ruined a few sets trying to pull them apart.

You use this ring to hold the brushes in place. Then, when you insert the shaft, it pushes the ring further into the housing, which releases the brushes into place.

Hadn’t thought of that, like I said I used masking tape to hold them in place. But the magnets are so strong it pulled the armature back so an extra pair of hands helped.

I had to really hack the housings away to get the lens out intact, so even though they looked good from the outside they were essentially ruined lol

It's f'ing hot today.

It's f'ing hot today.

Looks like a good fit up. Here's the 3" gas line i just finished .. poly valve and cap / fusion welded. The 1-1/4" line on the left is actually PVC gas pipe ..

 

[Derphound01]

Gas company is coming tomorrow to inspect and turn it back on. I'll Rustoleum it black after they do that.
