DIY is a mixed bag.
1.) Those that copy a good established design and obtain success.
2.) Those that can interpret a design and redesign to match their purpose/circumstances.
3.) Those that are eejits that think they can alter things without a basic grounding in arithmetic.
Far too many fall into this last category without ever realising they should be in category 1.
One must be numbers savvy if one is ever going to progress past category 1. There are no exceptions.

Another funky picture of the SOAP prototype. 
This was tested by a friend on an F4 poweramp and Diy Usher speakers with great result. (Thanx David)

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

nice SOAP boards
Just wanted to express my Joy.
Had a few boards made for some friends that where interested.
Black and goldplated....
They turned out very nice and since this is my first i,m very happy!. Thanx for all support and for this great forum.

Better closeup picture of the PCB.
Goldplated and Black mask is cool

A second look
Hint:
Next time you send away your gerber files, use a separate gerber viewer. By that you can much more easily catch errors, like in your case the component print.
I use Viewmate from http://www.pentalogix.com/ freeware.
With a real gerber viewer you can see how the pcb will look like, exactly.

there ya go, a BOM is certainly included along with the silkscreen and schimatics, i must admit that i got quite a bit of help on questions i had so really the build couldn't have gone any smoother. One thing to note is i used a bridge rectifier with mine as i couldn't source 4x mur680 diodes
