I don't build them for a living. I just made this stuff for myself, and a pair for a friend who bought the Fostex speakers for me. They aren't difficult to build, you just need to have the right equipment and time. With me, it's having the time to build them on a mass production basis. They take a lot of time. Tom-

I found your website cruising for info on the Zigmahornet speaker. Am considering getting a pair of the new Merrill 4.5" drivers and having Zigma cabinets built for them. Do you build Zigma cabinets for sale? Thanks and look forward to your reply. Hi. I found your website cruising for info on the Zigmahornet speaker.

Coupled with the Zigmahornet speakers I built, this amp sounds much better than the Sonic Impact amps. I don't doubt they've increased the power output, but if you have an efficient pair of speakers, you won't find it necessary for more power. The power supply also has a lot to do with it as well. Besides, I wanted to do a custom case and case work, so the kit was a much better option than buying a commercial kit and reboxing it.

Here is the direct link to manufacturer site with specs: http://www.si5.com/products.php?pID=4046 Looking into the original commercial amp you posted and doing research around the web I found that Sonic Impact has switched the look of the product, but also switched to a new more powerful chip… 2x the output, same quality.

Definitely a challenge with all those pins. The Amp6 Basic Tripath chip takes some careful insertion and soldering. Definitely a challenge with all those pins.
