I'm glad everyone is into this idea, hopefully these will be ready soon. I have the parts here and I have some of the assembly done, I'm just trying to work out the last few issues.
1.Long story short...I'm dumb and accidentally ordered 20 mono plugs instead of 10 mono/10 stereo. Meaning that only one headphone works (obviously). I'm going to make a trip to fry's and hopefully they will have what I need, otherwise I'll be shipping in what I need from newark/allelectronics.
2. I'm having issues with cig-lighter power. With a battery everything works as expected, but from a wall adapter or the cig lighter there is some high level noise that I just cant seem to get rid of. It makes sense as there is a hefty pulse generated by the alt, but I'm not using it strait from the plug, I have it going through a filtered regulator and its STILL ******* THERE. I've been beating my head against the wall for 2 days trying to deal, but its slow going as I dont exactly have an EE degree ( though I may be starting to rectify that soon
).
I'll keep everyone posted.

10 in the first batch. I didn't want to front a ton of money in case I end up having to eat it. So far they perform as expected, I'm just want to get these bugs ironed out. As soon as I do that, I'll start pumping them out in larger batches.

I'm halfway done assembling boards. I'm short 1 cap that I'm going to pick up today. I'm making a final run to Fry's tomorrow to grab some battery holders, after that its all assembly.

Hehe, I've had so many people offer to be test mules that I think I should stop messing with cars and start a donkey ranch ![Giggle](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/gay.gif)
(dont get hung up on semantics, I know mule
donkey...picky bastards!)
I should have omitted the testing part. They are tested and working, I just meant QC for each unit.
