Update

Not a full test yet but I got impatient and almost blew a speaker.... I got 60 volts into 2 ohms do the math.... 20 amps --> 1.8KW :) per channel that means technically its a 4 KW amp :) and those measurements were not with a oscilloscope calculating if any clipping is happening or the beast was not at full power.

new Video, finished project

It's finished

Well yes it was finished for a while, I just forgot to take a pic of it.... Pictures soon

New

New screws... No more if those other screwey type...and pictures ehhhh!!!!

Channel two time..

Well after having some nice listening time with my amp, I now will start to mount my transistors to channel two... Hopefully the screws don't break in two anymore....

As said, and requested, i have the link for the youtube video... although all of you already know the microphone can't truly display the beautiful rollin bass and crisp highs..

Amp update

Uploading a video... Hopefully it dosent take 500 hrs. I'll put the link in when I get it up... Thx

Ohh man

Well guys that's it.... Well I mean it did fire up 😃... So I could say the beast is alive... Main board without pwr trannies tomorrow fun with outputs and speakers, not to mention the gain seems 3 times better (not literally).

Ps Srry for the late update expect pics soon

Another heat sink revision...

Well the original heatsink was too high, so I had to remake one, now I will slap it on and connect the mainboard.

Pwr supply test

Check... Board installation now

Project update

I know it's been a while because I don't want to plug it in.... After I plug it in then I can throw the main board in and the other outputs but I have been dreading it... I still can't get the nerve to plug it in :(

Goal

My goal is to be FINISHED with the amp before April Ends, Totally finished. As for progress, i drilled the holes in the cross member and put the back pwr switch in :) I changed out the mainboard trannies, a few resistors and currently workin on the heatsink and mica for it as Mouser didnt send any mica with the actual trannies.

Sorry for no pics...

Well guys, I got the left rails done(after maby 6 or so screws broke on me "screw them" (no pun intended)) and I also got a 24 pin mother board plug and used it for my main board 😃 all the pins are doubled, even though I think even that is overkill but I used up a row and I was like I might as well double them so I did. The switch will get drilled for the pwr soon (Ie tomorrow) and then the back plate should be able to go on.... I still need a half inch drill bit (probally more like 3/4) to drill a hole through a cross member to bolt up my back handles.... Ugh that's about it... Need to layout transistors... Check for shorts... Replace components...( gulp) cross fingers.... ( even bigger gulp) and plug the beast in and turn her on............ No worries right, knock on wood for safe keepin

Work hault/stop?

There might not be alot of work done on the amp today, yesterday evening, although there was no post, I got the pos and neg rail from recs to caps done, drain resistors also check.

A friend PS3 broke... Cd problems I think I fixed it....

No more funny business

Here it is 8 gauge wire heading to the fuses where it is then dispatched to two 14 gauge wire (each!!!) . The wire from the rectifiers to the cap is also being(currently) changed out
The broken fuse was fixed, and wires tied down (tight)!!

Art

I think I should go into the art business, dosent he look magnificent?
I see a snake 😃 with brass eyes ready to STRIKE!!!!


Thickness of probe compared to wore :)

New hardware *edit*

I know what you all thought and no I didn't 😃 it's still a 110v ac amp don't worry... I just needed some wire and this worked out

New hardware

Just aquiered some new hardware... No biggie

Yes ppl that's 8 guage wire ;)

12, 10, or 8 AWG

Trying to choose a wire size... The one I put on looks way to small, looks like I need to go to the store. Probably also get some coated solid core wire for my output choke. I think I calculated 12 turns for about 2.odd uH? Couples with a resistor (and cap?).

Dear viewers/readers

I'm happy...
