Christmas has been and gone and now we are a mere four hours and twenty minutes from 2010 and so the question is what does the new year have in store?
The primary objective is to get pROJECT mAYHEM finished off. In my last post I mentioned that there was a surplus of bass in the sound system and there still is but I have since discovered that it is only the two 6.5" speakers that are causing the huge amount of bass - the sub is not even working!! Now this just proves how frighteningly good the Infinity Kappa range of speakers are really but as usual I digress. I am guessing that the sub isn't working because either the wiring to the sub speaker is wrong or the amp is not working but regardless the amp is getting replaced. The simple reason for this is that I have inherited another amp which is not only bigger and better but I also know that it works and as an added bonus I have wiring instructions for it. Therefore the first jobs of 2010 will be to get to remove the bass\amp enclosure, swap out the amp, rewire both amps so the fuse box is on the outside where it will be a lot easier to access, run in a new earth wire, set the high pass filters on the working amp and then start what is likely to be a rather extended play with settings to get the sound right. After that it will be getting the rear speaker enclosures built and wired in and then play with the settings some more no doubt! Nothing like an easy start to the year eh?
After that... to be honest the above is enough to think about for now so in short get that lot sorted and all the rest that needs doing by the end of April and then the trad season starts...
Anyway here's to climbing like a punter and more importantly getting off the hill to a pub which awaits us with a pint of fine ale. Once there we shall revise the day till we finally sound heroic (to non-climbers at least)!! Happy New Year.
