Hi all,
Im going to start building my new amp tomorrow and am trying to work out what total capacity of PSU smoothing caps ill need.
Ill be using 3 * 300VA 25-0-25 torids (=900VA total) to power 6 channels of 2 * LM3886s bridged per channel.
Is the general rule in here of 2*1000uF caps per amp IC (=24,000uF total in this case) enough?
Or will i be needing more than this?
Thanks. |

| If some of those channels are just supplying a bass speaker or sub, then you could add something like 2 x 10,000 uF for those channels. ;) |

Hmmm, ok.
Well ive got 2*470uF on each amp IC on the PCB already.
So, say another 22,000uF on each rail would do it? |

are 2*470uf per chip is enough?? I thought 2*1000uf per chip is the recommended? what will be the effect of this lower caps in sound quality? |
