Very basic, quick build TA2022 amp.

You can get a Lepai TA2020 amp off Ebay very cheaply. They sound good straight out of the box but to get the full potential a little hot rodding goes along way 🙂

Marked on the PCB are all the component values. When I started to look at the components they didn’t match up, i began measuring with my multimeter… Then I started replacing things……… (click pic).

Finally finished my TA3020. A few hurdles in the build. Had some grounding issues and managed to drill through one of the electrolytic capacitors 😐 Is all done and powering my compression drivers now in my tri-amp system, sounding sweet as. (clic pic)

It’s not often I get to put up some photos of someone elses DIY project but when I saw this my first thought was “Thats a gawd damn Minirig if I have ever seen one!” Presenting the Buckapound BoomBox.(click pic)

The last build of the year. A good amp for a NYE party 😉

A fairly straight forward build. All up took about 3 days. It uses a pair of Hypex UcD400st amp modules, Antrim 500VA 40-0-40v Transformer, a pair of 35A 400v bridge rectifiers, 4 x 10000uF 100v Jamicon filter caps and a SKA-Audio soft start. (click pic)

Iv’e been a bit distracted building these laterly. Will get back to the ESP kits soon.(click pic)

Put this together to split the outputs into my subs and mid-highs (micro-doof system). yes, they are the knobs off of a Fender Telecaster 😉

Initially, I was just going to hardware hack the opamps in the InterM DIV-9123 crossover. The project got somewhat expanded…. The end product has by far exceeded expectations.

The Sure Electronics 4x100W was great for a bush party but turn it on inside a house and the hiss from the speakers was annoying. I swapped it out for a 41Hz.com Amp9-Basic. This is a truly awesome amp with many features.

Made an amp up for AB.

It has a linear power supply and two of the Class D Hypex UcD180ST modules in it. There are some pictures here.

Just a little bit of parts spec:

Amp modules: 2 x Hypex UcD180ST
Transformer: Nuvotem 300VA 2x30v (RS components)
Rectifier: KBPC3504 400V 35 Amp (Altronics)
Reservoir capacitors: 2 x Nichicon 10000uf 63v GU (RS components)
