oh man, this is totally bringing back memories of living in SJ. i know where HSC is. crazy stuff. do you ever go to surplus computers? man, i remember when i first went there, like way back in 99, they had that whole commercial gimmick of, "tell 'em that bubba sent ya." hahaha, that was awesome stuff. yeah yeah, we would make the weekly trip to fry's on brokaw, and if we didn't have our fry's fix for the day, hop back on the 101, take the lawerence expressway down to fry's in sunnyvale and hit up surplus computer on the way too. sorry to get off track here, just some good memories of living in SJ. whenever i make the trip up north to a sharks game, i gotta stop off at fry's.
one quick question though, my friend is kind of interested in getting a cabinet like that. he has the idea of that getting car speakers and wiring it to the creative 2.1 setup that a lot of people use. is there any way of putting like car speakers on that speaker panel, or is it more like, gotta get out a holesaw to cut out holes for it?
jlfreund:
Yup, Fry's, HSC, Wierd Stuff, and a half dozen others all in a one mile radius in Sunnyvale. Nerd heaven.
The UAII cabinets come with 4" speaker grills cut in them. It would be no problem to screw in some car speakers from behind. I was considering doing that, but it's easier to just strap some computer speakers in there since then you get the amp, vol control, and wire to the computer.

Why did you mount the headphone jacks up there? Won't the wires get in your way? Lookin good.

Ya, it wasn't a great spot. I tried it out with some headphones, and if I get the right-angle jacks, it's not too bad, but ideally I should have moved the jacks to the top of the sides of the cabinet.
