Amplifier carrier and Power supply

Just finished putting this together!
It is a carrier for the amplifiers, and they are easilly swapped out if i happen to blow one (which could happen when testing the string driver coils)



I just need to drill the heatsink and bolt on the chipamps with some nylon screws and mica washers. Each amp has been tested seperately and the circuit of the carrier board has been chacked for shorts and open circuits.

With this i can have neat cabling instead of a mess of in and output wires all over the place.

The board was made with the toner transfer system and is about as big as i ever would want to do again. some places the toner did not stick, and i had to draw the traces in with a sharpie, pretty low tech but it worked.

The heatsink is from heatsinkUSA.com which is a great source for DIYers. i have also used it for my little home theater box here. on [H]ardforums
