The Sanyo m9935k, a big, well made Cheapy.

I have to admit, I haven't been tinkering for very long.
I've learned alot though in the time that I have.
So what is a heat sink, a way to mount the amp so that it properly cools?

Cheers OSS

On the Sanyo M-X920 the heat sink in the following photo is the aluminum box. The black finned contraptions are also heatsinks which have been added to give additional capacity. The amp chip/modules are coupled to the aluminum box with heat sink compound to more effectively transfer the heat. So, in a nutshell, YES, a heatsink is a way to draw heat away from the amp module and allow it to operate without disintegrating. Except for very low powered amps, almost all classic amps require heat sinking.

But I suspect you are pulling my leg and you are well aware of what a heat sink is..

Old School Scott, what size speakers were those JVC's that you tried putting in there, 6 1/2 ? 6? That box looks killer man!

Beautiful job. I just got one of these and was curious what you ended up doing with the tweeters?
Also, did you just wire up that third speaker as a center channel? (and what size is it)

Cheers!

Nice job, but I would have left the graphic above the cassette deck unpainted, the bit that says AMSS and 4 SPEAKER.

Bloody excellent!! I've got one of these of thinking of customising, but it's so mint I can't bear to just yet.

Top work, OSS!! They're a great little box for sure, and yours is defnintely now best of them all.



Rock On.

Looking good! Have you thought about using rubber washers or some isolaition tape to help with the vibration?
