Personal Science Project Report

Aim: To reconstruct and re-alter the input and output of subwoofer in able to boost the maximum capability and usage including functions of a true subwoofer.

For past few days (since monday), I had been working to amplify my subwoofer louder.

Monday
A good research till 4am

Tuesday
- Evening: Purchased amplifier @ RM38 at Brothers KJ. Did not buy something expensive as recommended by salesperson, but headed straight to the cheapest amp. Sales person chased me out on my first attempt to get a cheap one. But my persistency in the shop for hours made me chosen a right amp with another salesperson (Who is very desperate to get a sales done that day)
- Midnight to morning : Installed and not working as loud noise overcomed the original sound itself + Found out that need to buy a converter

Wednesday
- Evening: Bought a converter which changed "high-input" to "line input"
- Midnight to morning: Experiment with line converter but does not seemed working as no sound is heard to be output. But later stage found that it actually works with little noise. Tried grounding the amplifier to Earth and got better. Seconds later got worse. After removing the Earth wire, it's better now. Therefore will proceed without Earth connections anymore. Very satisfied with capabilities that can be done by amplifier to add the subwoofer volume.

Thursday
- Midnight to morning: Dismantle everything in an old DVD player and prepared to put my amp and converter into it. Last pic taken is 5.36am.

Removed the main power supply



Removed the DVD player dock

Placed my Proline GP-118 amp+converter in. Wired it up. Stripped the connectors of my converter and its 5.36 a.m.

Project updates to be continued...
