It sounded a bit muffled. I realized the speaker had to yell it's way through the Ford plastic holey mesh grill, than the phoney balogni china "Philco" grill cloth.
Pulled it apart and melted the plastic grill a big fat hole. For grill plastic Ford used some tough stuff.
It sounds a lot clearer now!

The PS3 power supply has the grunt to run this thing. The 12v 5A smp bricks can't, the sound gets crusty.
My kilawatt meter said something bearly above 17w consumed with my big fat bench power supply.
I want to stuff a transformer, rectifier and filter in there but I'm afraid of it getting jacked up over 14v with a big filter.

Arrrgggg....I don't know what I'm doing me hardies
