now it's complete

well, some of you might know that i bought a set of 5.1 THX surround PC speakers a year back, it's a logitech z-680 (full review here). Well, what bugs me the most is that it comes with 5 satellite speakers, front left and right, back left and right and a center speaker. A big arse sub woofer that can blow ur house down and a control pod, that sits nicely on the floor as a little table top.



Like all 5.1 speaker set, the two back left and right speakers should be at the back, as they are suppose to be, that's why ever since i've purchased this set of speakers (got it 2nd hand from a lyn member @ RM650) i have been searching high and low for a stand. And finally, before christmas, a seller pops up wanting to sell his ikea gaje speaker stand which is highly sources in the market by some amateur users. Well, the seller has 2 pairs, and i only needed a pair, in the process of getting the deal i asked to take both n then worry about the left over pair later, which it didn't took me long to get a seller for it, my fren Johnny. :)

Happy as could be, i tried it out the instance i got my hand on it, trying to fit my rear speakers onto the stand, due to the reason that the way that it is holding the speaker uses velcro's, but the previous user has already used up the velcro, leaving me thinking of a way to afix my speaker onto the stand as the bottom of the speaker is a litte rounded bulged. And with the 3m velcro that i had on me didn't really work as i thought it would. A slight earthquake will tumble my speakers falling 2 feet to the ground, something that i can't risk. (the pic below is showing half the actual high)



As i was looking into material that i could afford n save me time and fuss to get it down with, i came up with using arcylic.

Woke up early one saturday morning and made my way to Jalan Pasar to this famouse acrylic shop where all lyn members recommended. Sorry that i din take a pic of the shop cause it was a pretty hot morning and i wish to go in fast and run the hell out of there in a jifty. Ordered a 200mm*100cm*10mm acrylic. Took them 10 min to get it cut it and off i go happily.

After that, i went back to my office the following after measuring the holes that i need to drill. A lesson that i learn drilling acrylic is, slow and steady, don't rush on it, cause it will break if too much pressure is put upon it. And this is the modification that i have done with some added bolt and nuts.





and now it's complete :)
