Title: Has anybody seen this before?
Post by: gwairide on February 04, 2014, 12:31:55 pm: I'm looking to build a couple of cabs as gifts to friends and looking to do it on the cheap.http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.100.EzbgXX&id=26975832871 (http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.100.EzbgXX&id=26975832871) I stumbled upon this from a cheap chinese website (easier to order from there than US as I live in Hong Kong)

Any idea of how well this would work? Can I use two of them?

Thanks

BobA is right. I'm short two wires on the one I bought. I can work around it but it would have been easier if I just bought extra.
