So we have the AMP6 Basic and the G111 case from Brinck as recommended, but they just don't think like I have seen here, the holes just doesn't fit.
Here is 2 pictures:

Any idea why it's not like other people here? Both should have been bought from same stores. The box is measured at 115x65x55mm
Last thing we need on our build, so quite annoying :-/

The amp is not built to match the holes. You have 2 options:
- Screw in 2 screws with a washer on one side on top to fasten(hold) the amp in place. Like Euforia did here:
http://www.minhembio.com/forum/uploads/monthly_06_2010/post-27673-1275943323.jpg - You can drill 2 holes in the casing and fasten the chip directly to the casing wall with a couple of screws.
I still have one question unanswered: It's mentioned that charging the batteries should be done with good ventilation. Is it safe with an almost closed box to charge the batteries with the 5,2 W solar cells.
Should I drill some ventilation holes? I see that Phaedras hasn't got any.
Hope this is not stupid, but I would rather as one time too many than having my stereo blow up.

Actually, I do.. Beneath the lid of the electronics compartment there's a 3-4mm gap on both sides to prevent gas build up inside the cabinet when charging.. I havent had any problems with batteries getting hot or anthing yet, even though it has been charging outside all day long on several occasions..
Why not make 2-3 1x5cm vents on each side of the electronics compartment with a router.. If you clean them up with a nice profile, it could look really cool.. Thats what i almost did with mine and might do if i'm rebuilding or adding something to mine
Clever thought! I see it now on the pictures. I guess you made a good job making them invisible. But I think I will be making some holes in the side with my 25mm "spadebor" I used for the mounting of the 12V cigaradapter, and then round them over with the router. That could actually look quite nice.
The reason why I wanted the closed look was to hide eventual wires hanging out and protect the electronics from moist/beer and beer spilling.
But I guess it's more important to keep me and everyone else safe.

Then you're basically back to the original design with the 60mm holes. Note, you can't see it on the pictures but after the pictures was taken a 60mm fan grall was actually installed in each of those air vent/cable connect holes.

If you route out a few vents, go to a fabric shop and buy some speaker cloth and glue it to the inside.. That way it will catch beer sprays and it wont be possible to see wires or anything inside

Actually I like that. You just have to take extra care in mounting the wires, and use good quality cables everywhere. And proper gold plated contacts, then it looks amazing when you can see the wires.
Yea, I like that aswell, but in this case I doubt Ruben wants to go cable aficionado 8 days before the festival
I actually played with the thought of building the boominator in 12mm acryl and installing LED lighting inside and use nice wiring to show off the insides. But came to the conclusion that it was probably a bit too flexible and definately too expensive for me
Maybe next year

I have also played with the thought. 12mm acryl or really polycarbonate is superior to plywood in sonic properties, it's much much stiffer, but it's also much much heavier and would cost something like DKK4000-5000 for enough to build one Boominator.
If I ever do it, it will be with signature driver as those p.audio sn II series are really really beautiful drivers and a shame to hide inside a cabinet.
I am about to "glue" the solar panels on the top of the Boominator now. I was thinking of using some waterbased, acrylic "fugemasse" that I have laying around. It does not say if there is any "opløsnigsmidler" in it that could possibly damage the solar panels. Do you guys think that it would be safe to use that?
I bought 4 copies of the KSN1005A from www.discoworld.dk. I just recieved them today, so I haven't been able to try them out yet. They look fine though, so I guess they will also sound that way.

Ah crap, noticed the links was bad. Here are the right ones. FLATSÄKRINGSHÅLLARE (KABEL 2MM²) i Conrad online shop and STANDARD-FLACHSICHERUNG 15 A i Conrad online shop
Nevermind this, I found the sealant on the website and it says "non-corrosive".
The fuse-holder looks good. In order to find the right size of fuse, you should calculate how many Amps that runs through your circuit at max and then add 25% to that
@Wubbaz. Ty for the reply I dont know if i got this right. I got the Lepai lp-2020 a+ that have Output Power 2 x 20W @ 4Ω. 40W/12V=3,33A and add 25%= 4,16A. Should i go with STANDARD-FLACHSICHERUNG 7,5 A i Conrad online shop then to be on the safe side? Oh forgot, i have a 12v cigarette thingie to for charging stuff. But what power that drains i have no clue. But then im no good at math, so its probably totally wrong

That should do the trick. You could still go with a 10 or 15 A fuse, it will blow in any case
If you really wanna be on the safe side I bought 4 copies of the KSN1005A from www.discoworld.dk. I just recieved them today, so I haven't been able to try them out yet. They look fine though, so I guess they will also sound that way.
