such a top notch build, subd

I was so stoked when I seen teamSPB, Ive followed the previa build over on SMD from the start when you had low power, stock electrical and no mids/highs haha. That thing made me love previas lol

[teamSPB]

I have been asked a good few times now how I am getting the audio to the speakers...I am using the iPad's built in speaker...sounds great!! LOL...im doing it as below;

iPad mini bluetooth streaming audio at full resolution
Mosconi 6to8 DSP processor with SP-DIF multi and AMAS modules added on to allow for bluetooth streaming
Mosconi amps
Gladen audio speakers

So the iPad mini sends through all audio signals via bluetooth to the Mosconi 6to8 DSP. The DSP then processes the sounds, splits up the signals and sends them to the amps via RCA's as per normal.
The amps then send signals as per normal into the speakers via speaker cables.

The Mosconi 6to8 had to be opened up to accept the extra modules















Hope this helps

Some more pics for you;



My RCD controller for my Mosconi DSP is also here now...this will control the volume, presets, subwoofer level etc...It will be fitted into my ash tray area with some modifications...










Ash tray cover still closes fine (ignore the cable, its just to test fit the RCD)


Also changed my orange front indicator bulbs

The audio is currently on hold until I sort a few bits out...but it is working

Next up I wanted to freshen up the bodywork a bit...a friend of mine wanted to use my car as his wedding car, and I ***** the amount of swirls all over the car etc...so I decided to wet sand the car





Unfortunately I didnt get too many pics of the paintwork before hand...but below are the ones I did get












You will have to tune in tomorrow to see the results

Some AMG 8pot brakes for the front, and 4pots for the rears!

These have been painted rather badly by the previous owner...for now ill be painting them silver...if they dont turn out so bad, ill keep them, otherwise ill powder coat them at some point...

I ordered some AMG decals from eBay in a carbon lettering...they turned up and looked great! A simple discrete mod!

The 8pots are off most of the AMG ranges and are interchangeable....these have come off an SL. 8 Pads in total for the front calipers! This should mean some AWESOME stopping power!

Some of you may remember my 6pot AMGs on the Focus...well they look tiny in comparison!





Heres the manky new brakes! They even came with OEM Mercedes pads, virtually brand new!








Stripping the paint


The discs are Pagid 360mm x 34mm drilled on the front, and 330mm x 26mm on the rear...the originals were 312mm x 28mm on the front and 300mm x 22mm on the rear! I swear by these discs and they seem to out perform the likes of EBC, Brembo, ATE etc that I have tried in the past!
