Man Jason you've been a busy little bee! Wireing looks great also. Hope everything works as it should. Thanks for the business!

Thanks Trung, but you are a bit to far away and iced in!

I did find one in my hex driver kit, but it is to short. Heading to the hardware store soon.

Trung, very nice work. Is that a digital voltage meter on the front? Where did you get it?

Questions, all you guys with the battery boxes with more than one output.
Is it ok to power more than one component off of one battery, and do you
just daisy chain the outputs or run seperate cables from the battery terminals?

JT on the wood box where is the AC connector? Do you just run the AC cord
from the charger out of the bottom of the box? Looka nice I really want one.

BTW my buffer has finally burned in it has opened up a lot more bass is tighter
The Platinum caps must take a while

Very good self-power (2 wires), good meter. Don't buy "junk" from Fleabay

To really settle those caps need a good 500 hours.

And you can parallel other gear on the same battery.

The blue PowerCon is AC power in to the charger and the gray PowerCon is power out to the Buffer.

See above. I can take more pics if you need but I think this will explain it all.

Since I know Trung wanted pics of the buffer...

The purpleheart goes with my Dodd battery PA.

The Buffer in Padauk is for a friend to try out.
