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.

Sorry, George, I was comparing similar amps to each other.  What you linked to is not even close and then you mentioned something that doesn't even exist yet.

Erik,
Thanks for the thread. Is there a good source on how to assemble these properly, once parts are acquired?
..Parts express ice asp modules and ghent enclosures.

Thanks

Sorry @recluse but I recommend the DIYaudio website as a great place for electronics noobs to get help and advice.

Best,

Erik

I too have built the hypex N core mono’s. Very easy for a first time dyi project that was fun. The units took about 5 hours total to build and guess what? They sound awesome, replaced my beloved pass lab 150.5. Then bought a EVS 1200 second hand and it sounds even better which replaced another older Bryston 14 b which I moved over to sub amp duty. Love the small footprint absolutely silent dead background and effortless powerful sound. Now have a much cooler audio cabinet and probably lower power bill🎉😆. Glad I took a chance on class d. Todd
