Sale prices will be good for all orders placed before 9AM Friday morning eastern time.
I'm doing pre-order because the sleds are done, but some packing material has not shown up yet. It should be here tomorrow (friday) or monday next week.
I will have at least 3 sleds with me at the Texas meet this weekend. If you're coming to the meet and want to save shipping costs, you can buy there at the sale price.
OK, I think that's it.

I can't seem to order as it just comes back with "no items in cart" after logging in...
Any ideas?

Rob,
Is there a way to reserve one of the units that you are bringing to the Texas meet?

I tested the cart yesterday and all seemed well. I have one order since I posted this, so it's working for someone.
I will see if I can break it.
Actually, the radio buttons when you log in... there is no default selected. I hate to acuse you of overlooking that, but that is a possibility.
Either way Hugo, if you can wait till the european meet and you want a sled, I would surely give one to you free of charge.

Man, those things look really nice.
So now just to be clear, to make the sled just like the original, I'm gonna need RCA connectors, a serial connector, a bunch of wire, some sort of multi-pin quick disconnects, and soldering ability? Hmm, the only things I'm gonna need to find are quick disconnects and soldering ability.
Anyone sell these already put together, or plan to?

Yes (or transplant the connector / wiring harness from an existing sled)
Rob sells the connector and pins needed as well on the site.

You need RCA connecters, various wire, and a DB9 serial connecter.
The pins on the docking connector are designed to be crimped on, but that doesn't work so well, so soldering them in there is best. The tuner connecter should be soldered regardless (I think). I haven't built one yet and don't plan to in the near future at least.

I've crimped a couple of tuner connectors (for home docks) and there's no big issue there, so long as the correct size crimper is used.

Not complaining- just confused. If after buying this, I still need "RCA connectors, a serial connector, a bunch of wire, some sort of multi-pin quick disconnects, and soldering ability", what exactly am I paying $65 for? Thanks.

The $65 is for the custom metal enclosure. Originally, direct from Empeg Ltd, these were US$150 wired, so $65 unwired is very reasonable.

$65 unwired is damn cheap for a custom built sled powder coated and textured black. $12 for the connector and $5 for the rest at Radio Shack is nothing considering how hard those connectors are to come by.

Well, the $65 is just for the metal. There's another $12 for the somewhat hard-to-source connectors.

I think VAT is 17.5%, if that is any help to you.

Well, the $65 is just for the metal
$65 just for the metal? That's preposterous. Why, I could make one of those myself for about $3 worth of sheet metal, maybe 50-60 hours of my time, and a couple thousand dollars worth of tools! 
Very nice work that Rob has done. I'd buy one in a minute but I already have an extra sled...

Perhaps we don't remember what Empeg Ltd commanded for a sled with a pre-wired connector. I recall it being in the $129 neighborhood.
I can't afford to pay someone to wire-up 50 wire harnesses and I don't have the time to do it myself. So, for $65 + $12 for odd-ball connectors you gotta do it yourself... or hire some day workers to do it for you.

You need RCA connecters, various wire, and a DB9 serial connecter. Something no one's pointed out yet:
You don't actually need all of those parts unless you intend to actually use every single connection. For instance, if you don't plan to use the serial connector in the car, you don't need to hook one up. And you don't need all six RCA connectors unless you intend to use all the front, rear, and aux connections. A totally bare bones install might only need a few wires and two RCA plugs.

Actually, this is part of my Cunning Plan to fit more stuff in my dashboard. All those connectors take up room, and I'd like to chop it down to just the necessary stuff without ruining one of my orginal wiring harnesses.
What about the inline fuse? Should I worry about it? I've blown it once, so it must be doing something...

I'm sure if rob marks the items up accordingly, ie says it's a sample or a gift and stick a goods value of $10 on it, customs won't bat an eyelid.

Wow perfectly in time for my new car!

I'm not sure where (who!) you are on the dock queue, but most of the remaining orders will be shipping by late July, and the backlog cleared completely sometime in August!

I have an orignal sled where the wires for the right front (I think) came loose in the harness. Anyone at the Texas meet interested in it, or possibly trading for a BLACK sled? It would match the interior of the truck...

If you want to trade an original sled with a screwed-up wiring harness for a black sled you've got a deal.

Hi,
I just ordered mine too! Thanks for making these. I just had a problem with the procedure: My browser couldn't load the page "www.spmicro.com/confirmation.php" or something like this, because I spent some time to get my printer to work in the page before that...I hope my order hasn't been compromised by that error? The button I had to click was called: "Complete Order and Notify SPMicro"

Hi Rob,
if there is still a sled free for Amersfoort, could you reserve it for me? Please a wiring harness, too...
Would be great!

I just got back in front of a computer, so I will check to make sure all the payments and orders are sync'd up tomorrow. Too tired right now after flying back from the TX meet.

Some of the domestic orders have tracking numbers and will leave the building today.
Tomorrow I should be sending out some of the international and possibly completing the backlog of the US orders.

Hi Rob,
Will you be sending my sled via the mail or can I get it off you at Amersfoort? I'm not fussed either way....

Hm. An order number, but not a tracking number as such.

ah, okay. Ditto. I was just wondering from Rob's statement: "Some of the domestic orders have tracking numbers and will leave the building today"... if we were supposed to be getting tracking numbers. No worries... i'll expect mine soon!

Ah!
Looking closer, it was shipped via UPS. I check the tracking number on the box, and it was shipped last night, 4pm. Since it was only going from NY to NJ, it did not have far to travel.

I got mine today, too. To NC -- quite a bit farther than NJ, but not nearly as far as CA.

Loren,
Your sled was the shipped in the first batch. If you log into the store and view your orders, you should see the tracking number. I also think it was sent to you via email.

For now, I have stopped taking orders through the website. I need to save some sleds to bring to Amersfoort. While I'm away, some more sleds will be made, so they will be orderable again soon.

I logged into the store last night but all i can find is the order number, no tracking number in the "your orders" section. Didn't get the email either. Don't worry about it. I'm not complaining. I have full faith they'll arrive when they arrive. =]

I guess my system is not working as advertised. Then again, it was free....
I PM'd you your tracking number.

Weird, i just got a call from 2checkout.com saying they wanted to confirm the order to my credit card, and make sure i got the product. They confirmed i had a tracking number and that it would arrive today...
i don't know whether that's good customer service or just... i dunno. Weird.

It's because the sled orders is the first time I used 2checkout. They won't release my funds until they can verify that I'm legit. I hope you told them all nice things.

!¤#&%"#...
They tried to deliver here (Sweden) today - while I was at work. Left a note, so I'll either have to try to get them to deliver to my place of work tomorrow (fat chance, last time the wanted another day) or go pick it up at the depot myself... if I want it before leaving for Amersfoort Thursday morning.

For those of you coming to the Amersfoort meet, you'll be pleased to know that a HUGE box full of sleds has just arrived - get your cash ready for Rob Ricc!!!

Got mine too. Now... don't take this as me being a whiney unhappy customer, i'm just generally curious. To the other's who's recieved their sleds... was the inside coated well with paint? Mine is fairly spotty and not completely black on the inside of the sled, especially towards the black. Otherwise... it's a great piece of work!

I did personally see one like that. The process of painting them is automated, so there is no real way to make sure the inside gets completely coated.
If you feel the job is not good enough, I would send you out another sled with better coverage. Let me know what you want to do.

Is there still another run of sleds left to be done? Just curious if you have any left that will be orderable in the future.

There are a couple around (at least 2), but not many after the Amersfoort meet. I will see how many are left, but I am also going to make another run.

I would surely like one of those if they are available. I'm about to re-do my whole set up and it would be a good time to change the sled.

Mine looks awsome too. The inside is perfectly black. And I can't wait to install it...
I can't stand waiting for my new car anymore.

Yeah, i think i just got one abnormal sled, the back interior face was barely coated with the back right side showing bare metal. This is obviously not the norm. And Rob's taken care of it. Can't wait to get it installed!
