I'm new to DIY. I'm considering getting Ghent Audio Chassis for EVAL1, and Harness, Purifi EVAL1 kit, Hypex SMPS1200A400. There are rough instructions on how to assemble these parts in a PDF that I just found online. There is a competent electronics engineer I know who can help me with assembly and safety, although the engineer is not familiar with exactly how Class D amplifiers function, so isn't confident with the idea of working with these components.
1. Are the said power supply and amp kit definitely compatible with each other?
2. Have there been any faults reported when people have built DIY using this combination of parts?
3. Do the parts have any safety certifications, or do you only get that if you buy a completed amp from a manufacturer?
4. Do the parts come with in depth manuals in English?
5. Are those 4 "parts" (Chassis, Harness, Module Kit, Power Supply) the only things needed other than tools?
6. What are solder point speaker outputs? Does that mean I can solder wires between them and the SpeakOn outputs in the Ghent chassis?
7. Is this better value than getting a manufactured amp (not necessarily Hypex/Purifi)?
8. Why should I trust these products/companies?
I'm concerned about safety during build and during operation. Also what I would do if there were a fault straight away, or after say 5 years. It seems a bit risky, and this stuff is expensive!
