How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks


If you want to know what the hoopla is about Class D and want to put together a very nice sounding kit I have a starter recommendation for you.

Go to Parts Express and search for "ICEPower ASP"
Next, look online for Ghent Audio. They make many sets of cases.

You'll need a high power soldering iron, and screw skills.
Between those two, you can put together a very nice monoblock for around $500 a piece.

I highly recommend both. I have no financial interest in either. 
You may need wiring kits, so make sure to order appropriately.

Or, you will have people like myself praising you Erik for continuing to lead the charge!

Anytime you have a hobby like this one going through such a huge paradigm shift it brings out the emotions on both sides and more. Many of us who have secretly been exploring Class D and simplicity are finding soundstage and tonal bliss. It takes a slight adjustment to go from mega dollar systems to the more balanced approach that happens to cost much less. Keep in mind though that places like Agon are going to be one of the last stand forums. It's great watching Agon make the transition from old to new or more money to less or high mass to low mass and other comparisons.

I'm glad your being diligent and we want you to know your far from alone. Most may not post on the paradigm shift and many will troll the heck out of you, but these times they are a changing, and there's really no stopping progression wants it gets rolling like a rolling stone.

Hi Frank

I'm glad you posted. The more people post about their conversions from old to new the faster the hobby will get out of that overbuilt over priced mentality. It's very interesting to watch. If there has ever been an obvious overnight revelation in HEA this is it. This will help the hobby redefine itself moving toward a much lower mass approach to system designing.

I think the HEA shows are in for some major changes in the next couple of years.

enjoy
