DIY: Pass F5 turbo v2 initiated

this is pretty accurate
the cases i built ended up weighing 38 kgs EACH ( however with the transport crate )
the sinks were the heaviest part
i think i was using 12kgs/sink in EACH mono

(just make sure your sinks are not small and will dissipate well - get the widest sink you can not the highest)
Thanks Magma, I will look into that aspect. I definitely studied many design and arrived to certain surface area v/s mass. Now as per your suggestion I will verify the weight part too.

I was looking for a V3 (100w) and the GB is for V2, so I am in a dilemma.

Experts, which will be the best option:

- 2 x Monoblocks of V3 (100w each)

- 4 x Monoblocks of V2 (50w each) for biamping (ATCs are triampable)

My suggestion is that the F5 should not be looked at from Wattage perspective. It is a different design operating in Class A mode. The Turbo V3 suggested by Pass is not for regular amplifier builders. He called them a special category of people called FAB (Fearless Amp Builders). If you belong to that category, you should attempt the V3. I would not attempt a V3, but will restrict myself to V2.

Cheers.

I am game for V2 (4 x Monoblocks)

Can someone order Mofsets and MUR Diodes for 10 sets?I can provide everything else excluding chassis and other hardware.I will wait 2 more days to get a response from members and than order PCBs.I will need some advance from everyone as the total cost is too high.

Sachin,

If the GB is for the kit including parts and PCB then count me in. If it is only for PCB, I would like to skip, as I can modify some of my earlier PCBs and make V2.

Cheers.

Hi Anil,
I will arrange all parts with PCbs.Can anyone import Mofsets and Diodes for 10 sets.I am importing too many things without having Import/Export licence:D

I was looking for a V3 (100w) and the GB is for V2, so I am in a dilemma.

I am in exactly the same dilemma. I gave up a build of the original F5 after I realised how much was the output wattage. I had, all along, thought that it does 35W (which I thought is just about sufficient to drive my speakers), but apparently it does 25.

So I was elated when I heard about the V3 version that does 100W. And that's where I had pinned my hopes.

I currently use an 80W Class A SS amp, and though not the best or the most refined, I really love the power reserve that can be called upon during louder transients. I am bit apprehensive that a 50W could be a downgrade in terms of reserve power.

Let me mull over this for a day. Will let the group know if I am in or out by tomorrow.

Sure Joshua,
I think F5 50W would be more than enough for your set up.Some DIY audio members are using normal F5 (25W) with low sensitivity speakers(85db)and very happy with it.

Okay, got local source of MUR3060PT /100Rs for PS rectifier purpose. Even I am thinking this could close match for amp board MUR3020WT.

MUR3060PT: packing TO-218, holes are same as TO-247
Remaining parameters are exactly same, we can get some discount as well. What people say?
