Thanks for the help guys! And for the detailed explanation in the above thread Farbe - also nice work on the paint mod! I just got this build so I don't want to de-can the diode, but as for the G8 reducing the box reflection's size over the G2, how much smaller are we talking? Half? Knowing...

Nice work man - this is next level.

I've picked up a 488nm GH04850B2G build which is great, but I think it has the G2 lens, and definitely has the large rectangle artifact on one side of the spot. Would swapping the lens for the G8 totally remove that artifact? Also is 275ma still the agreed upon safe current?

Received the C6 93mW, and it's amazing. Thank you for the quick shipping and secure packaging. This little laser will be well taken care of from here. Thanks man!

I'll take the C6 93mW if you still have it! Direct email sent.

That's how it starts... :D

Anything is better than stock. I put a $100 Pioneer deck and bottom of the line Pioneer coaxes in all four corners of my neighbor's car a few years ago and it sounded freaking amazing for the money. We just ran them straight off the deck. She was thrilled. :D Adding any kind of separate amp to...

THD @ rated power is 10X lower. S/N ratio is 30 dB lower.

That deck looks nice. 8 band EQ. You could put 4.7 gigs of MP3's on a DVD too... As with all Pioneer decks, just don't hot swap the RCA's or you will blow a tiny fuse that is soldered onto the main board. Those speakers look OK, but some people get listening fatigue from metal tweeters. As...

Yeah. I've been burned on eBay a few time over the years. Amps are usually safe though. Speakers... not so much. Your system sounds loud! :D

Pioneer all the way. :D They do make good stuff. As for $600 for the whole system, it can be done if you get lucky on eBay. This is what I paid for what I listed earlier: $200 Deck -Pioneer DEH-P880PRS $100 Front - Polk MM651 $100 Rear - Polk MM691 $50 High amp - Eclipse PA5422 $150 Sub...

No offense, but that Clarion has some pretty harsh reviews, and you could buy a whole system for the price. OP, consider getting a dash kit that allows you to use a single din unit. The one I have in my Accord adds a little compartment underneath the deck that I use quite often.

Check out the Pioneer DEH-P800PRS or DEH-P880PRS. Neither are made anymore but can be found used on Ebay. You'll be amazed at what the 16 band auto-eq will do for your sound, and the output is crystal clear. It's the best option short of the $1000 units like Alpine F1 and Pioneer Stage 4. DO NOT...

UPDATE! Foam was not enough! This laser has been on my desk with a battery installed since I originally posted this. That was long enough for the spring to bend over to the point where it was almost touching the wall. Grrr. I made another spacer out of rubber strips super-glued together. A...

Nice work as always DTR! Thank you! Looks like the divergence is really low despite being multimode. What would you estimate it to be? And what's the initial beam width? :beer:
