I can see ways I would do things differently but that's how it always goes, right?
Indeed it does.
Still, good job so far.
Those cabinets are very nice.
For wiring, so long as the large inductors are away from the woofers, then you’re free to do it how you like.
I re-configured guitar fx-racks for various people over the years, using their existing equipment, and the heavy-lifting was always to get the guy to explain what he wanted out of the setup.
Some pretty mind-boggling signal routing a lot of it - using midi-switchers.
Simple ergonomics came into it as well, so before having it physically in my workshop, I could have a good idea of how it would be, using just a list of the gear, and customer’s needs.
I might spend a few days with a notepad and a pencil.
The main premise was to keep mains cables one side, and signal cables the other. All secured in side-runs.
Then you always have one rack with mains termination on the wrong side! So the undesired compromise threatens. Ok. Balanced it is then. Back to the notepad and pencil, since I would have to re-position the racks that were unbalanced.
I do remember one rack on a Friday afternoon, where I literally ran out of cable, and needed just one final stereo jack-plug to replace a mono one. I was 3” short on the cable needed. I drove 20 miles to get that plug and 1 metre of cable!
Then had to drive an extra 50 miles to get the rig to his concert, rather than his house.
Spent the night programming and hand-switching his rig, with him prompting me during and in-between songs!
And the band played the most terriblist shit too!
Will be keen to see your finished work, and get your thoughts on the results.
Almost there ‘eh.
