I wonder how many garage "geniuses" have been sucker punched by situation. Phrases like, "seems simple enough", "surely it can go through there", "How hard can it be", have predicated many a garage endeavor.
The stereo story has proven to be one of those situations that vex "geniuses" like me. While all the parts are easy enough on their own, the application--particularly the speaker placement in the sail panels of our '67 Fastback Mustang has turned a weekend work day into a twisted fun-house story.
For instance: The plasma cutter. In order to make the speaker setups we wanted to use the plasma cutter to make quick work of it. Short version? We spent from lunch Saturday until 4:00PM working on getting it working. A hacksaw would have been four hundred times faster.
Then there is the fun of finding tools that you misplace, cameras that are picky about power supplies or get left on for ten minutes after a take is complete...aaaah good times.
But know what? those speaker enclosures are gonna ROCK! Soon as I can find my screwdriver....
