Hi all,
Amazing resource and community you have here!
I'm interested in building a custom console system. As has been discussed here before, I'm looking to copy the basic design of this;
Symbol Modern Record Console
The issue is I'm trying to do this on the cheap. (At least for now)
The cabinet itself will be made from 3/4" ply to keep the price down and add a bit of mass.
The electronic parts I figure I would need are;
A Turn Table
Pre-amp
2.1 Amp
2 x Full Range Speakers
Subwoofer
Power Supply
I'd like to use these speakers and this sub. I found this pre-amp. And thought about using this power amp. What type of power supple would I need to run all this?
I'd also like to split the input so I could also run an 1/8" TRS to a phone/mp3 player/ computer. A Spectrum Analyzer or simple L/R channel meters would be cool too.
I'm new to the DIY audio world and Though I have a basic understanding of circuits and their parts, I really must admit that I have no idea when what to do when it comes to amps.
I would love to build an amp and pre-amp that could do this, but cost and knowledge are working against me.
Has anyone done something like this? I have yet to see a DIY amp for a 2.1 system. Will the parts I've chosen even come close to what I want to do, or is this all just an impossible dream?
Any help would be great, I feel like I need someone to hold my hand through this, but I want to gain the knowledge of what I'm actually doing.
Thanks in advance!
