Trainwreck Chassis
What would you guys like to see in a good Trainwreck chassis?
I can do them in .064" 14 gauge aluminum or .08" 12 gauge aluminum.
They can be made with or without mounting lips. Lips can be turned in or out. They can be alumiwelded, which is like brazing for aluminum and makes a really stiff chassis.
Also, what would you consider a reasonable price?
I have been selling my budget 17x8x2 chassis on ebay but would like to know what you guys would really like to buy.
Thanks

Re: Trainwreck Chassis
Brian I noticed your chassis on the internet, good quality it looks like and good prices I just never order one for some reason.

Re: Trainwreck Chassis
So you like the budget chassis. Ebay sales of the 17" have been slow lately so I was considering not making any more. Looks like I might have to make a batch every now and then for you guys.KellyBass wrote:I've bought about four so far. I love them and GREAT to deal with.

Re: Trainwreck Chassis
I really like the budget chassis! Do you have a way to tap out a square nutsert hole? That and a bottom plate would be about all I would need for a trainwreck chassis.

Re: Trainwreck Chassis
Actually I have an IEC punch and can easily punch the IEC hole in the standard Wreck position. Just ask next time you order and mention the Wreck forum. I can do bottom plates too for $5.KellyBass wrote:I really like the budget chassis! Do you have a way to tap out a square nutsert hole?

Re: Trainwreck Chassis
Here is a link to the IEC punch. I punched several hundred 16 gauge chassis with mine but after 30 or so 12 gauge chassis it crapped out. I bought another one but don't punch 12 gauge chassis with it. My ebay handle is brianampchassis. My wife sells my chassis under lkschmit.dynaman wrote:Hey, where did you get the IEC punch??

Re: Trainwreck Chassis
Just make sure, you don't offer all of them with the IEC. Some people, including me,hate those things. Bottom plates sound great. I could use some stuff for experimenting.
Re: Trainwreck Chassis
Richie I love the IEC and hate the strain reliefs.

Re: Trainwreck Chassis
I've built them both ways - strain relief and IEC. I think the little extra time to make a cutout for an IEC is worth it. I hate to have a chord dangling from a combo or head while it is being transported. Too easy to accidentally step on it.
Re: Trainwreck Chassis
Same here. Did my first express old-school, but no more. My prob is too many amps. Have 2-3 stacked on each cabinet; don't have enough outlets nor cabs. Moving around one IEC power chord and one speaker cord per stack is only solution.statorvane wrote:I've built them both ways - strain relief and IEC.

I don't offer them with IEC holes punched but offer it free as an option to those who know to ask. Which now you doRichie wrote:Just make sure, you don't offer all of them with the IEC. Some people, including me,hate those things. Bottom plates sound great. I could use some stuff for experimenting.
