So I have this huge ass JBL home audio, sub-woofer that I have been carrying around with me to about 3 different houses. I've never really used it for anything, then naturally it hit me. Screw it, i'll gut it and make a stealth case from it. So I threw it on the old bench and went at it.

I mainly just want some idea's from the [H] community. before I start getting too deep into this. Here is what I already have thought of..

- Keep the speaker intact, just remove the magnet from the back. I don't expect this thing to function as a subwoofer any longer.
- Keep the controller on the front functional. Power/HDD LED's, Put the potentiometer to use for something like a fan controller.
- Some red LED's behind the front grill would look pretty cool.
- I have a spare 4x20 character LCD I could do something with.

I'm not sure what to do with the back of the thing. The RCA jacks & speaker terminals on the back are pretty worthless, anyone got any idea's? I'm leaning toward just jigsawing out the back of it and making a completely new interface (MDF, Plexi?). Something I could tailor to exactly what I need. The existing back is going to be too cumbersome around unless I cut it out.

 
Why not keep it as a sub woofer and design a juke box comp around it? If you use SSD's there's no risk of damage and you can then fit what ever amp's and other sound systems stuff inside.
 
Good idea, but I want to keep it as stealth as possible (and I've already chopped the crap out of it). I could almost put both of the computers I use (Windows & Linux) in this thing. I really hate having two separate cases always sitting next to me anyway.
