There are a couple of websites from universities that have amplifier diagrams on them. They mostly concentrate on the home end of things, but the power supply could be modified to work on 12V. These amps took college level students anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months to complete, due to the delicacy of the circuit, and the electronics on it. They are supposed to be absolutely wonderful sounding full class "A" amplifiers, and would require gigantic heatsinks and fans, but should last forever, if time is taken to build them right. Dont expect to be able to buy the parts and have it done in a weekend. Also, these amps cost the student about 350.00 to build a single channel amplifier that was like 30 watts, and would operate into all but a dead short without burning up. Best of luck to you!

STILL waiting to hear a GOOD pair of HLCD's!!

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...
