Chassis too small

[purpletheory]

Hi Guys,

I finally found some time to work on my amp again, now I'm just trying to get everything to fit inside the chassis. I was wondering if it would be a problem to mount the transformer on the outside of the chassis or will it be more prone to interferance, hum, whatever.

Thanks,
Matt

Nope, no problem.  The transformer can go anywhere as far as that goes.  As far as safety...well, thats a judgement call on your part.  In fact, most of the hum is introduced by components being too close to the transformer, so as far as hum goes you'll be better off with it outside the case.
