The Worlds First Fully Comp PL 400 Using White Oak Components !!!!!

[laatsch55]

240.00 for the copper and 6-7 hours to lay out, drill, bend and file. 400-480 total..

 

[Northwinds]

Yep, pretty expensive but well worth it for the extra heat dissapation and incredibly cool look!

 

[laatsch55]

Haven'y had to fan cool on an 8 ohm load..

 

[laatsch55]

Tony, I put the 400 on the 2,000 watt BPI load while sleeping, we are now back on the horns. I swear they're sounding better... Nice amp. It did help warm the mancave. Got to 14 below last night. Gonna be 20 below tonight. Fixin to get busy in the field..

 

[Northwinds]

Ron, your sig needs to read F&^%$## instaed of what it is. this is not the cave..

Fixed, sorry about that Lee

 

[laatsch55]

No problem..

Hey Lee quick question... Bias wires from Q6 on BP's to PL14... I've seen some (well alot) where they "braid" em together... Thoughts? Ok or should I leave em dangling?

 

[laatsch55]

Very low current DC Jer. Don't know if it's necessary, but it can't hurt.

 

[jbeckva]

Braided they'll be, then. Thanks bud

 

[laatsch55]

coolness!!

Tony--The lottery amp has survived it's 24 hours of torture. Could not get it hot, could not blow it up...on 8 ohms anyway...

It is just an appearance preference Jer. Just make them the length in the instructions so they are not nine miles long and getting near any AC wires.

I see those screws aren't going anywhere this time Lee. Noticed your RTV bead.

 

[laatsch55]

Here she is "Joann" . She needs a wee bit-o-polishing but I'll leave that to you, give you some bonding time with er...


And you can make up a little plaque---"The Worlds First 400 FC WOPL" ain't nothin but the truth!!

You're a very observant feller there Mr. Joe. And they weren't small beads either...

All those 1% precision resistors make the power output pretty damn consistent Lee.
