Slambox - First build - 1590A box OK?

Not metal film, but he does in carbon film, which is fine. I've built a bunch of SHOs with 10M carbon films

OK...thanks everyone for the words of wisdom.  Think I'm ready to get the parts ordered.  I'm sure I'll be checking back in when I get everything and can't figure out what goes where.

OK...one more question...there's probably no way to fit a battery in the 1590A, right?  So just go with two mono jacks and no battery clip?

If you look at Myramyd's completed build in a 1590A (which he posted earlier in this thread), there's not much room left. 2 mono jacks and no battery clip would be correct.

I have built two of these and found it was alot easier to use the two mono jacks. And your right, you cant fit a battery in there so it makes sense. A couple notes that helped me out
Careful with drilling the enclosure! its easy to drill too close
I pre-bend the solder tabs on the jacks inwards a little bit before i solder to give me a little more clearance and you can check it easily by inserting a cable to make sure you dont bend too far
I also used electrical tape on the bottom to help from shorting when the cover is on.
