The next step is to attach the cd case to the fans mounting bracket using a few dabs of hot glue tack it in place. There will be some minor gaps between them but that’s ok at this point.



Once the glue has hardened and you have the position of the cd case even, use some hot glue to fill any gaps between the 2 peaces to help prevent air leaks and provide additional structural support.


Now that we have this nice mountable tunnel for the air to flow threw we will need to install the electrical elements. This is really an easy step and requires 4 holes per emitter or collector. To do this we used a set of pliers and a hot nail. The reason we chose to melt the holes is it doesn’t allow micro cracks to form that can cause problems later as we found that the plastic was rather brittle. You will want no more than one inch between emitter and the collector or the unit will not perform well for you.



With the holes in place we will add the collector wire first. Using some pliers bend the wire into a U shape and then slide it into the holes you made. Its important to try to get the arch of the wire to match the same contour of the tunnel walls. Use ample hot glue to secure the collectors wire to the tunnel. But leaving enough exposed wire to attach the wires from the transformer later on.


With the collector wire in place and secure thread the guitar wire threw the holes and lightly twist them together. Using some hot glue make sure the wire is secure and as tight as possible. If you do this step before you install the collector wires the tunnel will flex under the wires tension and it will be very hard to get the wires tight. Use ample hot glue to secure the collectors wire to the tunnel. But leaving enough exposed wire to attach the wires from the transformer later on.
