Got my board yesterday. Thanks, that was fast.
This will be my Saturday project. It looks a lot simpler than C4S board from the past, so I'm guessing the install won't take more than an hour or so.

Oh, thanks for the wire Doc. Was I supposed to use one wire each for +, - and ground, or did I need to use the center conductor for + and the outer shield for -?

I'm sorry, I could have sworn I posted about the upgrade.
Very easy install, much quicker than the past versions.
Like C4S installs on older SEX amps, it get's a little quieter and the bass punch improves. It was not as a dramatic change as it is on the older SEX amps, but I'd say that's due to the improved circuit on the 2.1 over the older version.

We ran out of the nylon standoffs to space the board off the chassis, these arrived yesterday.
