I love knifey. That is freaking brilliant.

It's like found art or something.

Makes me think I need to go to a thrift store and see what I can snag there and use as a case.

This is my Breadbin Gainclone.

But the heat-sink is inside a closed box!!!
Where does the heat go?

And most important, the guts!!

A closer look..

 

[troystg]

Is that a plastic rear panel? It doesn't look as though the binding posts are insulated from it.

But I like the layout. Clean, neat and organized.

Copper tube just for cosmetics?

 

[Puffin]

Nice one!

Yes it's a wood rear panel and the copper tubes hide the threaded bars that clamp front to rear..

 

[troystg]

Outstanding!

 

[h@kan]

Thats a beauty!
What type of wood is the front made of?

 

[audio1st]

The front is Oak polished with liming wax.

hey, where do you guys get these amazing enclosures?
like lanchile07's with the exposed heatsinks, i love that.

once my powered advents are done i plan on building some external amps and need enclosures.

id love to find some solid aluminum enclosures with exposed heatsinks.

 

[lanchile]

chassis!

Well,I am lanchile07! My chassis is from a Broken portal panache amp.I took everything out and I put new things in lol.What you can do is :get an old or broken amp from e-bay and use just the chassis.

What speakers are they? ...trouser flappers or just diddy ones?

 

[Puffin]

Here they are, not so small at 10 stone each!

My first attempt at making a pair of speakers. Fostex 206E full range drivers with Planet 10 phase plugs. Cabinets are the Fostex design for the 208 sigma driver, but are said to be a whole lot better that the design for the 206E. I used Baltic Birch ply which is the recommended product. Wood alone was £250, but all the pieces cut to size for that money.

Finish is four coats of primer/undercoat and four coats of black gloss applied with a foam roller, all 8 coats rubbed down with 1200 wet and dry between coats.
