That should be a good thing. I'm curious about how you might be using the open frame PSU. Have you fabricated a cage, additional enclosure panels, etc.?
Well its for this boom box idea I have that would really sound good, be made of aged solid cherry I milled 1" thick and 1-1/2" for the base. I plan to make the handle of maple about two inches in diameter. You'll see the center area below the Lepai has room to verticlly mount the PS and stack two 18V batteries. I plan to make a charge regulation circuit and switch to go between power/charge. I will have an IEC on the back and leave access to the back of the amp.

It's 3 times the price but I would recommand going for smsl SA50 instead of lepai. You'd get 2x 25watts / 8 ohms with reasonable distortion and much better build quality. It's not 12v tho
Thanks and I believe it but do want the ability to run on battery.

Excellent ideas, Awe-d-o-file. What make/model drivers do you plan to use?
Oz CS-180 which is an Anericn company with Americn made drivers that went belly up in the early 2000's I think. Their focus was car audio and their 6.5" coax with outboard xover was the only thing in the same league as Kef's 6.5" with outboard xover. Focal wasn't in the game yet. Their Utopia auto stuff is great.
Will add photos when the time comes
