Newbie question - Enclosure

[jgedde]

I am new to this forum. Greetings to all!

I am currently designing a 200W/ch amplifier with DC servo, no caps in the signal path, Darlington output, etc. Possibly based around a LM4702. I'm still on the fence about that...

While, as an EE, the electronics design isn't causing me much grief, what to use as an enclosure is.

I want it to look like something I purchased OTS assembled, rather than a home-brew project. Any suggestions?

I'm sure this has been asked before, and pardon the redundancy if it has, but I haven't found a suitable answer by seraching.

I will post photos, schematics, test results, etc when it is built and tested in the appropriate area.

Thanks,
John

Hi,
Try ATI research in Thailand.
Your US neighbours seem to have found quite a few local suppliers.

Another thing you can do is use old stereo component enclosures. Remove the current face plate and go to a metal supermarket and get a new face plate cut, then you can drill appropriate holes, polish/paint/anodize to whatever type of finish you want and put them together.

Tom.

This is a very common question, wish there was a wiki for it.
