Updating the thread after a long while. Due to lack of time, I've passed on the kit to a FM, an electronics guy. Best of luck to him.
I finally started assembly. What are the FM's thoughts on the below chassis layout? (Dimensions in inches)
The first is a top view. All power components and wiring at the bottom of the chassis. I plan to cut the rectifier board and mount them on the two heatsinks on either side. I have not depicted the amp board in this pic.
The second is a side view of one heatsink. As you can see, the rectifier board is towards the front bottom, while the amp board is at the top of the heatsink. RCA in and speaker wiring will also remain at the top of the cabinet. The other side heatsink will be the same.
Also, if you notice in the top view, the cabinet bottom plate overlaps the heatsink fins at the bottom. Will this have a significant impact in air circulation and hence cooling? I plan this to ensure that the bottom plate provides robust support for the heavy heatsinks. The top plate will obviously not overlap.
