Did I get the right Transformer?

[charliemopps]

I got this kit:

1 LM3886TF amplifier AMP+RECTIFIER FILTER BOARD DIY KIT | eBay

and ordered this transformer for it:

I just want to make sure I got the correct transformer. I know it's over powered, but that's just because I want to add a sub amp later on.

Any help would be great, thanks! (yea, yea, I should have asked before I ordered, but I thought I'd picked correctly and now I'm having doubts)

Both links seem to bring the same thing up. Amp but no tranny that I can see. What are the specs of the tranny ?

That was weird... but I fixed it. Try the link now.

Hi, dual 24VAC 300VA will be fine, rgds, sreten.

Agreed...

How much more VA/Watts can I run off that transformer without a problem? I want to add a sub later on. Could I get away with another 60 to 120 watts? I'm in the US with 120V 60hz, so according to their spec it should be rated at 360VA right? And what I've got now is 120watts... so 240 total on a 360 transformer?

Thanks for the help!

In practice (meaning normal programme material) I think it will be fine.

Designing and specifying amps for continuous max rated output is a whole different ball game (and most commercial stuff isn't specified to be used like that either).

a 300VA transformer will give good to adequate per4formance when powering amplifier totally from 150W to 300W.

eg,
5off 60W amplifiers could work very well from a single 300VA transformer, if you choose the correct voltage and (much more difficult) get the grounding correct.
