Peter, what is the Q3 to Q4 mounting hole distance?

is there any problem in setting these a bit further apart and running wires back to the PCB?


The mounting hole distance is 3.7" and I believe it's more than with the other F5 board. Nelson mentioned that there is no problem with extention wires up to 12" or so.

Also, this is the same distance I used for A30 and F4 amp pcbs so boards swapping is simplified. In fact, the chassis I'm using now was originally built for A30 amp: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=815856#post815856
 
Just an FYI. The .47ohm power resistors provided with the tech-diy F4 kit are radial and do not appear to fit in the F4 PCB board. You will need to source axial power resistors unless you wish to modify the board or have the resistors towering above the board.
 
Ah, thanks Peter. I think I will mount mine off board and spread them a bit on the heatsink. It will make life easier for me as well I think.

I soldered together the 2 power supply boards. I didn't see an obvious place for the 2.2K bleeder resistors but I just soldered them in before the first cap. Hope thats OK.

The F5 boards have additional set of pads to be compatible with radial resistors as well.
