i want to build an amp...i tryed to build the av400 with a friend...got it working..but not for long ...the irf's blow apart in a few days..i really don't want to build another av400...so i'm wondering..what amp should build now..

Perhaps you should consider a simpler amplifier if your expertise in constructing circuits isn't too good. High power amplifiers are very unforgiving of mistakes.
I would recommend you try Rod Elliot's P3A amplifier.

If power isn't much of a concern try some well documented DIY project such as a Zen 4 From Nelson Pass or a Gain Clone for starts.
Other well documented projects on these forums are a mini Aleph also from NP.
For any of these you will find PCB at a low cost plus the valuable assistance from members of DIYaudio.com
Others such as Rod Elliot's are good starters project as jaycee suggests but you wont find much help or assitance from other members on these forums.
Want to get more involved? have a look at the Krell thread on this forum which is a new effort. There are a number of experimented members participating. This project will bring you awsome 50W of a classic class A power amp.
Have fun...

Why not try this: http://hififorum.knaak.dk/Tekko/subwoofer slutsteg/slutsteg diy darlington.JPG <-- my modified version, or: http://hififorum.knaak.dk/Tekko/subwoofer slutsteg/schema1.JPG <-- the original schemo
Ifyoucan hold your breath for a week or so, I'll have an amp of 150W /8 ohm which will redefine price/performance.
I just need to get my website up.

Hi,
What's wrong with the AV400? I had trouble only because of my carelessness. It may be a bit hot but 2 8cm computer fan that cost no more than $5 /pcs will solve the problem. No thumb at start up.
I think it's worth trying.

well....i want power...>200W(8 Ohm)...i'm good at making pcb's...but i'm not so good at all the small things in the circuit...😀...anyway...i have have a few diy amp's at home..2*tda7294(100w..1%THD)...2*STK(120W 0.008%THD..and 3 amp's with irf's...they work great...but they have only 120W at 8 OHM..and 1%THD...😀
