Having recently re-bought an Amptastic mini-1 to go into my main system which already comprises a Quad 306, I've decided to build my own amp switch box. In other words a speaker wire switch to save me having to unplug the speakers at either a. the amps or b. the speakers themselves.

This is the first hifi type thing I've built so it may be a bit rough around the edges but it should hopefully do exactly what I need it to when it's complete. I'll be using a single 4PDT toggle switch and 12 speaker binding posts.

Had some MDF lying around so I'm using that for the case:

Leaving the front and back panels removable to aid in the soldering and testing and if I need to gain access in future (excuse the vinyl covering I know fake black marble isn't going to be to everyone's taste but again had it lying around) The labels are just off a hand held labeling machine:

The toggle switch I'll be using should be identical to this:

Once the toggle switch and binding posts arrive I'll stick up a few more pics to show the progress.
