I thought we made good progress. We started off saying lets try get one amp finished today, but reality struck and it seemed more productive to prep the same thing for all - so drill out the 4 mounting holes for the relay board on all amps, or bore the holes for the selector switch and volume pot on all amps. I think it will mean all amps finish close together.

We all took home a bit of homework to do as well that should keep us on target for the next meet up (likely 25th November).

Fronts and backs all look good I think, and the knobs look well. I have to do a little planning for non-audio wiring from the front to back panel, but I think a run of cat5 should give us all the cores we need in one neat package. we have to do a little rearranging on the front panel voltmeters - they don't show through the front panel material, but we have an alternate location for them inside the amp at the battery packs - you'll be able to see them if you look through the vents in the top panel.

Homework..... I got the last few holes tapped for the amp chips, mounted the switches and pots and colour coded the terminals on the switches.

Phase 1 wiring - signal from switch to pot and pot trailing wires to amp board. Next up is the amp boards and starting grounding.....slow going!

Definitely got the easier homework Fran....screws arrived this morning so we should be good to go.
Fitted 4 amp fuses in each and bought several other pack at various ratings in case we need more juice!!
