Thoughts as we Near the End.

So the project is near it’s close. We are going to prime and paint the mega over the next few days. The one real afterthought I have now is that this crazy concoction of a munny set has taken over my, and I am sure Jesse’s, life.

It’s been amazing to produce something like this, and the return from people who have heard it has been so successful. Now I can safely say: bring on the art show on Thursday. I can’t wait to reveal our creation to the public.

Cutting the Munnys….our first video post.

The Hardware (Crap we need speakers and an amp)

So the executive decsion was made that we really needed to get down to business on these Munnys and the best way to start was to get speakers. Without speakers any plan was just conceptual, and any attempt would be half hearted.

After talking about car audio vs. home theatre audio we decided in favor of the latter. Home theatres are designed to run surround sound, are allready set up for it (and are usually cheaper than car audio). In light of this decsion we made a hasty trip to XS Cargo to find speakers that sung to us.

We were sold on this:

RCA Home Theatre

A 1000 watt RCA 5.1(room for 1 error) home theatre system. With USB! Success!

Talking it out.

Jesse and I have been planning and talking and brainstorming about how we want this piece to go off. Its really tough to think about having to damage something once or twice just to get one right, but we have realized that sacrificing a few Munnys to make our speaker set perfect is inevitable. Luckily we have a few extra kicking around the house.

Some of you may have seen the Instructable on how to make Munny speakers. This is currently our base plan for how to fire these off, but hopefully have them look nicer. More like this one featured on the kidRobot site.

The Sub-Woofer is the last tough section to wrap our heads around. The larger Munny may be harder to cut, may need weighing down, and will probably need vent holes cut into it. Yikes.
