Crack+Speedball build

Just posting this to showcase my new build. Electronics are stock crack+ speedball. I used oak from a locally cut tree and planed it to thickness. I opted not to use the kit-included alder because I needed to use an open grained wood for effect. I painted the top panel burgundy enamel and sprayed a catalyzed automotive clear coat followed by wet sanding, cutting, and buffing for a high gloss luster. I'm happy with how it looks but ecstatic about how it sounds. This little beast totally transformed my 650's.

Really nice detailing. Great job! I built mine back in 2014 and while it doesn't look as nice, how it handles an audio signal never ceases to amaze! Enjoy!
 
For you to say you're happier with the sound than the looks--given how beautiful your build's aesthetic is--says it all. The Crack is a sonic marvel. Enjoy your amp!
