I'm wondering about power up. I hope this won't require a delay for the power amp. Using the batteries, I power up the op amp first then the power amp.

Will be interested in your findings Monday.

This could really be a sweet solution for a lot of projects that I have day dreamed about, but tossed off thinking I'd have to build a separate supply.

While it is quiet, you could use the relay board with a 12V supply by bypassing the big resistor where the power conects through... it is currently set to operate off 30V. I.e. from the positive and negative rails from the prereg-reg board. (which prevents loading one rail more than the other)

Alternatively you could use larger voltages or voltages in between, by adjusting the resistor.

No problem. I'm in no hurry. Was given an old sub amp yesterday so, I'm mainly interested in this for future projects.

Have had an itch to build an integrated amp. This will be a sweet solution for powering the pre.

I'd be interested in the crossover/filter you did for the sub, I have a dead Yahamaha here which the woofer still works fine in, it is only a 100W.

This was submitted by some one months ago. It works just fine for what little testing I gave it. I just used two 10K resistors to sum the input which was taped from the input vol control of the mains amp.

I would imagine a couple of buffers for summing and a stage for a little gain would really improve the performance.

But for what it's worth, here it is.
