Awesome! Any pictures of the inside when it is in the DODD box? That is what I am planning too!

Which amp is that, and why the HUGE heatsink?

Thanks,
Ted

I wonder if one of these batteries will run both the amp and the buffer. I have one in the garage...

Hi guys, I just bought a Norcom IEC and need help installing it for the ClassD.

1) It says 6A on the tag so does that mean I have to use a 6 amp fuse?
2) There are two fuse slots on the left and right...do I insert 2 fuses? I thought the 2nd might be a fuse holder but it looks like there are contact leads on both insertion sides
3) If I need to insert 2 fuses, do I insert 2 6amp fuses or 2 3amp fuses?
4) Lastly, there are 4 leads at the back top portion and 1 lead at the back bottom portion, where do I connect the 2 black wires and 2 red wires from the transformer?

I'm so confused and don't want to mess anything up.

Hey Chill, 2 6amp fuses and yes you need both installed. Go to page 4 of this thread and you can see the wire set up for that IEC. It is at the bottom of the page. Easier than trying to explain.

Thanks avionic! Last question, I can't quite make out the yellow wire from the bottom lead? Is that a ground to the chassis? This is optional right?

Yes that is a ground. Whether or not you use it is up to you. I certainly would and did. 2 minutes of your time to keep from getting the s_ _t shocked out of you

My enclosure is made out of wood though. Can I just put it on a big screw?

Sorry, didn't notice that you had a wood enclosure. I don't know what some of these guys have done. There are a few who have built these amps in wood enclosures. See if you can find some info in this giant thread.

We have contacted Tom concerning grounding issues with a wood case and it has said that a ground isn't necessary with these amps. Of course if it was in a metal case it would be foolish not too. Myself and others have experienced no issues in a wood case with no ground.

That's nice to hear.

Does it matter what amp the spst switch is? I found a switch that says 3A. Am I tied to the 6A on the IEC?

Should be 10-15 amp.

You can now order a custom aluminum enclosure direct from Classdaudio.

Looks familiar...

Good idea, Jason. You may want to have ClassDAudio correct a few misspellings in the Description.

1. this case is custom made to fin ... > to This and fit

2. This case is made and shipped directly from the manufacture. > manufacturer

Quick website editing response! Got the two misspelled words, just thought he might also want to start the second sentence with a capital letter (This). Or not.

Jason, regarding the Class D website, the enlarged pics are HUGE.

They obviously need to be resized. Great idea to make them available through the Class D website.

Just trying to help.

Yes! I hadn't clicked on them before, but they are 3872 X 2592!

Congrats on the case deal Jason. That should make the classD's more marketable for sure!
