Since I am a newbie, if I want to build two monoblocks, should I get two V3 and two PSUs (or is the multiplication not linear)? And the 32V rail should get me 100W on each monoblock, correct?

You will need 1 V3 kit and PSU. I will automatically double PSU components for V3 buyers. I will post prices of the PSU components tomorrow. I will probably go ahead and plave order soon and get things rolling.

Thanks. And two of these will work?
The "Jack of all Chassis" - Deluxe 4U All-Aluminium Amplifier Chassis with Pre-Drilled Pre-Tapped Holes, Perforated Inner Baseplate, CNC'd Back Plate - Full width with 40mm Heatsinks - Chassis

or would I need the 5U units?

Hi, Buzzforb

I am a newbie and decided to take the plunge on this GB. Just have a few questions:

- what is your opinion on using one V3 per channel as compare to bridging/parallel two V2 per channel? The price would be the same for a stereo pair i.e. V3 = 150/2$ per channel as compare to 75$ for the V2, right?
I definitely need power for my 84 db speakers.
- my understanding is that I have to get the PCB from the Store later, this GB is just on parts.
- what would be the price on the PSU board and parts?
- correct me if I am wrong - one pretty much has to go with the mono block approach with a stereo V3 =>two big chasises will be required :eek:

By the way, how long, in your estimate, would it take for this GB to be wrapped up?

Thank you for answering my questions.

Regards,

Lo-tse

The PSU cost list is basically ready, but i need to run a couple of options by everyone for approval. I had planned on using Fkushima resistors in the PSU, but i realized very quickly that we would be in a bit of trouble for available PSU boards. THe store boards would allow it, but they only allow 4 large caps and we will need 8. Right now, the best PSU boards available for the the F5T are TeaBag's. The major difference is the need for large power resistors vs mulitple small ones. I can get large Mills 12W .1R reistors and and come out only $1 more expensive than the Fukushima option. Seems like a reasonable comprimise. Let me know if this is acceptable. AS for know, It looks like the caps will be 63V 18,000uF Panasonic T-HA @ $8.75/piece. While slightly less total mF than the article, we get higher V rating, lower ESR, higher current rating. If this looks good, let me know and I will pull everything together for final total.

Edit:
We can use only a single Mills resistor per rail and save half the cost. It will mean slightly large Vdrop and that should be considered in the final build. Choice is yours. I dont care. Heat is not a problem in either case. Paralleling two just brings total resistance down to .05R and as a result you lose less voltage at higher currents. In truth this should only affect folks with tough loads.

Edit,Edit:
Boards are only $22. Excellent price for the quality.
