Im starting to plan my first amp and speaker rig to build. I would love your feedback and opinions!
For the amp I'm gonna do a class D amp from audiosector based on the LM3875 chip. I was gonna use a die cast aluminum (gonna polish it to a high shine) and a single 330va 22+22a trafo from partsexpress. Which means Im probably only gonna use one rectifier board. Im building this as a power amp to use with my audio-gd fun dac being the preamp. That will save me some money on the attenuator.

For the speakers Im kind of at loss. Im think of going single full range driver. Open baffle or boxed/reflex design. But Im not sure. I want a very balanced sound. A decently well represented frequency range. Should I run a separate powered sub. These were my choices for drivers... Im thinking 8" but maybe a 6" or a 4" would be better for what I want? What do you guys think? Also I am open to other brands also... fostex? I just want a nice full balanced sound with great imaging. Sounding natural is very important to me.
