So after reading hundreds/thousands of pages, on this forum and others, I’m going to build my primary amp (for the “music room”) to drive my Energy 22’s. I use the term “build” loosely. I’ve decided to take the easy route and go with the Icepower 125asx2 module and connectors. I’m going to run two of them in BTL to get the desired power.

Parts itemized so far:

2 x 125asx2 modules
2 x 125asx2 connector kits
1 x btl board
1 x soft start board
1 x speaker protection board
1 x AC<>AC EMI filter board
4 x speaker terminals
2 x rca connectors
1 x c14 power connector with main power switch
1 x large case

I’m looking for advice on the btl board, soft start board and speaker protection board for btl use with these icepower modules. Also looking for advice on adding an AC audio EMI filter in front of the 125asx2 modules. Or is any of this needed…?

My soldering skills are novice, so swapping components from boards is not in scope for phase 1 of this project. No doubt I’ll get there eventually.

I was thinking of going with a slim profile wide case to accommodate everything. Then I started looking at tall 4U’ish class A cases where I could mount the icepower modules on the sides of these tall cases, with the rest of the additional boards strategically placed in the bottom of the case. No size requirements other than lots of room to accommodate everything.

I got the go ahead from my wife that this is my xmas present this year 🙂
