Ive been wanting to do this for a while and wish i would of thought of it when i was building my lascalas.  I have always wanted to light up the dog house my first choice was to use small leds and make a small hole and drill it till just befor th bottom of the back ramps and light up from the top and bottom of which i can still do.  Of course i would need to fill the holes up to prevent the little bit of sound waves from making any sort of noise like a whistle sound or just some kind of annoying sound. Although this brain storm just came to me as i have been thinking or remaking a pair of LS bottoms out of 1" mdf and be able to use different tops so i can try different things in the future. Lets say maybe a corn bottom. having two seperat peices would allow for this.

But what i am really thinking is to build the lascalla ramps out of 3/4 plexiglass this way i can feed this area from the back and try out different was of lighting up the dog house.

am i the only one that has thought it would be neat to have the lower section glowing in low light?   

I think it would be cool.  I thought about lighting these ones up.

At one time I had suggested some small disco mirror balls and a color organ.  Those little laser pointer could be modulated and mounted on motorized bases.

Why dont you just build a fire in the mouth of the horn ?

I think that's an interesting idea. One could provide some indirect LED light by coming through the back of the cab behind the doghouse. The light would diffuse around the back of the doghouse.

If one wanted direct light, you could come through the HF section into the top of the bass bin, on either side of the point in front. The LEDs if recessed would not be visible from a standing position or most seated positions.

yep thats about where i was going with that idea mostly ftom the hf section pointed down but from the back would work too.  I really wish i had plexi ramps in mine. i would really like to show off my exotic wood on my LS in low light.  If i ever do this there will sure be a pic to follow

"Pimp My Scala's"!!! Get outrageous!!! Go for It!!! A nice glitter in a coat of poly toner!! Go for it!!! Just kidding around, but it would be interesting to see a cool appplication. I'd like to see the ghostly green Star Trek Borg sleep unit circle with the radiating patterns that react to sound.
