Cheap quality chassis
I have no affiliation with this guy, I just want to pass on that I ordered a couple of chassis from:
http://ddawgamps.com/Amp_Chassis.php
The quality is great and the price is about the cheapest I have found for blank a chassis. Much more substantial than the Hammond stuff.
$15 for a standard chassis and $11 shipping for one or more.
Mods, if this is not appropriate here, feel free to delete. I just took a gamble on ordering these and was impressed with the price/quality ratio.

Re: Cheap quality chassis
I've purchased several chassis from him, including custom sized for two different combos I have built. Great quality, very reasonable (cheap really) prices, and really easy to work with.
Re: Cheap quality chassis
Brain does awesome work, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch nicer than the Watts chassis. They are nice and shiny, scratch-free, and substantially less expensive. I used to have to a lot of work on the Watts' chassis to get them to look acceptable.
Re: Cheap quality chassis
I use Watt's, rj, Allynmey and Brian (DDawg) all good products.

Re: Cheap quality chassis
Thanks for that link. Just what I've been looking for. I've been using Watts chassis, which I've been very happy with, but have some projects that require non-standard sizes. The .08 custom chassis will be perfect. $20? Wow!
Re: Cheap quality chassis
Got four chassis from him. Happy with them all. I will buy from him again.
Re: Cheap quality chassis
How are you guys hooking these up to your head cabs? Do they have any holes (or squares) for that?

Re: Cheap quality chassis

Re: Cheap quality chassis
Extruded U-nuts work great - very simple. I get mine from McMaster Carr. You want the ones that look like this...

Re: Cheap quality chassis
Those are what I use as well, DDawg chassis allow for use of this slip on nut I get from local hardware store or fasten-al stores have then.
Re: Cheap quality chassis
Cool thanks! To be clear, you drill a hole and slip those on over it right? Does it effect the chassis contact to the cover plate?
Re: Cheap quality chassis
another idea,this is what I use-http://www.harborfreight.com/45-piece-t ... -1210.html
Re: Cheap quality chassis
Yes, and they do have a slight thickness to them.eddie25 wrote:Cool thanks! To be clear, you drill a hole and slip those on over it right? Does it effect the chassis contact to the cover plate?
