Steve, you overcame! Sweet! Aside from feeling frustrated and annoyed you couldn't get as much done as you wanted I bet on some level you feel good about yourself. You didn't let a weird and off the wall odd thing like that kick your butt. A lot of people would have walked away and given up or wouldn't have the understanding of what was happening. I admire your analogical mind and your fortitude (do you admire my use of these big words? lol).

Bottom line; Nicely done!

Have you thought any more about going to the Sabertooth 2x32 where the Power outputs can act as voltage clamps? If you recall this would eliminate the need of the extra switching circuit and dump battery.

Hi Dave,

It crossed my mind to change up to the 2x32s but I had already bought two 2x12s and figured it was a waste.... never say never though..... I've already blown so much money on doing things twice and three times till I'm happy with them. I still might get the 2x32s after all.

I'm just off to get a dictionary to look up some of those big words you used

Steve

Hi Dave,

I think I found a small error on the Sabertooth switching circuit you gave me a while back. I think it shows the 2N3904 transistor (Q4) pin-out reversed.
