HI STEVE im enjoyin your build of the sub from F/V but lookin at the eletrics why have you fitted a resistor on the negative an not the posative that feeds the leds ? as thats how i wire mine up by fittin the resistor in the postive wire so it cuts power to the leds so not to fuse them ?

Great p/e and lighting work Steve ! I watched this movie when a kid, loved it

Sometimes I find it easier to build something if I can draw it first

Yup! If you understand it you can draw it, and if you can draw it, you can build it. Not many folks appreciate that drawing is more about really seeing than pushing a pencil around!
Love your process, and I agree, the results speak for themselves!

It's funny. The flea sized LEDs I used came prewired with the resistor on the positive leg. I have always used the negative leg when I solder my own resistors and it always works for me. I tried soldering using the positive leg before and it doesn't work for me. Go figure.

Yes. One needs to grok the part or the relationship between parts.
