I just ordered units for a dual mono ultra, that's why I'm asking. What's the lead spacing on the cap boards?

Thank you for your support. I think it is 10mm, if you ordered the kit the capacitors come with the kit. If it's not the kit here is the part number.

I was thinking of using KG instead of KW - will the case accommodate 50mm tall caps?

I received the modules & power supplies promptly and in good order - thanks. One question, though......there's this nifty little 9V power supply included. I see where it could go, but........what's it for?

It is used for wiring the on/off button. Please see the provided instructions.

Going forward please email me. This is not the place to have these conversations.

For those who are intersted as I see Amir is doing max power tests at 1% distortion for some of his latest reviewes. Here is what it is for the Starkrimson Ultra modules.

With 4ohm load it is not possible to get to 1% distortion because the over current protection kicks in before that happens. Hence I am only posting this test for 8 ohm load.

So the amp won't get to 1% THD+N running a 4-ohm load. So, what is the maximum available power at 4 ohms and at what THD+N does it occur at?

You can see the posted charts for what distortion is at 500W. The amp overcurrent at 20A peak which equates to 14.14Arms or 800Wrms into 4 ohm.
