Eric: I cant find anything like that mag-sheild stuff in South Africa, but I should imagine if I make a small box out of 1mm galvanised sheet metal to cover the subbox, this should help?
Harddrive is about 30cm away.
What do you mean airflow work... and the noise? You mean I should put some ducting in or something? I dont think I will hear any noise, the 5.1 surround sound should drain any fan noise from within the box?
Gayan:
You think I should add another fan?
I will look into the laptop drive if this one dies.
I dont really plan on changing the settings on the sub, all it is a gain pot, which I will leave at like 3/4, and operate the bass settings via the software. I have considered remote mounting the gain knob though.
This sim is still work in progress, I am mounting a steel arm just behind the steering wheel which will hold up a 22" widescreen LCD. (Dont understand what you mean about a character LCD panel.
Havent tested the sound yet, will let you know.
thanks all.
EDIT: btw, I dont know if you saw, but there is a fairly large (+- 10cmx18cm) exhaust port directly opposite the fan, difficult to see in pic, but if you look, its there.... Surely that should be sufficient?
