Don't Use 20-Gauge For Heater Wires...

Man... that was HARD work, and didn't turn out quite as neatly as I had hoped for. I know now- Use 22-gauge wire and save yourself alot of headache. It seemed to me like that would be too small a gauge, but I can see now why it's spec'ed that way... :|

Oh yeah?

Try using using 18-gauge... :bang:

My heater-wiring skills suck even with 22-gauge... :oops:

BTW, your amp build looks pretty good, so far... :thumbsup:
