Hi, I am relatively new to the arena of diy amplifiers and such. I was looking at possibly purchasing a kit since I have never built one before. I do have some experience soldering, but not on reading schematics, although I don't think it would be very difficult to learn. So, I was looking into getting a kit for a high power amplifier that I could use for DJ/Sound reinforcement use. This would be subject to long periods of high output, so I would like something that would last. I would also like something that sounds comparable to commercial products. Does anyone have any suggestions? Most of the amps I have found seem to be class A whereas I probably need a class D amp. I have found a few things from hobbytron.com that velleman makes. The ones that caught my eye were this one http://www.hobbytron.net/vk4020.html and this one http://www.hobbytron.net/vk4010.html. Has anyone built either of these units? What about some of the kits from marchandelec.com? I need a stereo amp to drive two speakers (four would be nice) and put out at least 100 watts, although I think somewhere around 200 or 300 would be better. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dave
