I've been looking for some tall feet for my IO for nearly a year now and haven't been able to find them. :-/

If anyone has some they'd be willing to sell me, lemme know.

So I recieved the River Service repro PSU today with the proper harness. Hooked it all up and it's fucking awesome! Finally I can play VF4 FT without having to jack the voltage to the max and pray it doesnt freeze.

This is all well and good but I've got a left over audio cable from the blast city harness kit and I get a hum in the speakers when using the RCA's. \
Does this cable I have left over go from the Sound Out to the Speakers directly? I can only think that maybe the hum is coming from the audio being currently routed through the volume knob in the control panel? I know theres a couple peeps here who have this power supply, did you come accross this problem?

As far as my schematics memory serves me, that is meant to connect to each of the two speakers and then the harness in order to provide speaker access to the harness. I am not sure how your current setup for sound is, but this is the cable for sound.

Guessing here... disconnect the normal cab wiring behind the speakers , then use that cable, they hook up via 2pin AMP. The 4 pin amp connector goes somewhere on the new PSU ?

Definitely looks that way doesn't it? I'm just puzzled as to why the supplied harness connects straight into the current speaker out wiring. To top it off the manual doesnt even show this cable lol.

Hello!

I'm joining up! I bought one from Matsu, and I've been having a "blast" ever since. Did I mention I like lame jokes?

I'd add a pic, but I'm still figuring out how to add a picture. Sorry.

welcome aboard m8. I like to use photobucket to post pics, it's pretty simple, just upload your pic, and grab the img code that displays after uploading, and paste it here. we would all like to see your new addition ;)

Nice Blasts guys. I am hoping to join the club myself-- just have to somehow find one on the East Coast. :( I've only seen Bass Fishing for like $1,000...ugh. I'm close to NYC and Philly so I thought it would at least be somewhat easy. Any tips appreciated!

In the mean time-- I'll just live vicariously through these pics and try to keep the drool to a minimum.

Indie,

like Chempop said, watch that thread, some of us were involved in a cab buy in the philly area last year, and it looks like there might be another one in the same area before too long. Also now is a better time for a container buy from Japan since the yen/dollar ratio is alot more favorable now than it was for us last year. good luck buddy, and welcome to the forums!
