12 N5X Construction guide
Chassis assembly
Getting started
My #1 suggestion in building an amp kit has always been: do a dry run first. So before diving straight in
and doing all of the stuff that looks interesting and exciting, do a few test assemblies to see how things
go together. This will help you avoid problems that you could have foreseen. trust me, there's nothing
worse than having to undo dozens of screws or desolder some components to add an item you
overlooked.
That said, in this build guide I will try to describe the most methodical way to build the amplifier. So
hopefully you can avoid any such problem. :) The image opposite shows a fully annotated chassis with
all hardware installed in position. You can follow this directly and/or use the extra tips in the rest of this
page.
Initial hardware
A few items become hard to access once other components are installed so do these first. Start with the
two M4 ground lugs shown circled here in red, making sure to bend the ground lug so that the soldering
hole will be accessible later.
In each case, use an M4 screw from the outside of the chassis, then the ground lug inside the
chassis, then a shakeproof washer and then the M4 nut to secure it.
