Sean, you never cease to amaze me!
Where to get chassis for monoblocks?
Hi guys,
I have been going slightly mad (hello, Freddie!) looking for chassises for my monoblock amplifiers (x4) project.
I am basically looking for a 12" (Wide) x 17" (Deep) x 8" (High), aluminium box. As I am only looking at 4 pieces to be made, most places don't give me the time of the day.
I don't mind paying as much as $200 per box if it can approach the kind of quality Mark Levinson/ Krell stuff come in. Anyone know of links?
I am not schooled in CAD, so I am going to draw up a few templates, and make an exact mock-up with (very thick (1/8" plasticized cardboard). Do you think, with this, the machine/enclosure shops would be more inclined to make the chassis?
Thank you!

See, it pays to be a "bigmouth". You can make a lot of connections "networking" that way. You never know who / what you'll need or when you'll need it. : ) Actually, i was just looking through Charles' catalogue as i've got a few projects lined up that i'll need some chassis' for. Like Atzen, one of them involves home-brew mono-blocks. I need something that is quite sturdy for those as i'll be running "old school" iron core transformers for better bass response and line isolation. Some of the other projects involve a cable burner and a PLC. Still have a ways to go on any of them though. Sean > |
The second time around. Try Horace Atkinson. Nice work too. e-mail: [email protected] I think there is some info on Horace at the Headwize site. |
Well, for the curious few... if any... here are the dimensions (to be duplicated in quad for 4 monoblocks): 12" x 15" x 08" (W x D x H) Flat enameled steel (Not including face plate) Top panel thoroughly vented. Both side panels thoroughly vented. Faceplate: thickest aluminium panel you have got (preferably 3/8" or more), anodized black. Dimensions 10" x 14" to be mounted to chassis. Rear panel will have 2 punch outs. Cut-out 1: IEC connector Cut-out 2: 3.3" x 7.9" (for heatsink) Cheers, |
