Ron what do you think of this idea the relays sit up off of the board about 1 inch

Very similar to Vinagear's example. Should be fine.
Mind your clearance.
Place your phono cards into their proper spots to test to make certain that card components don't touch the top of the relay.
If you have clearance, it's a good fit.
Hopefully you've not soldered it on yet. (Well...slightly soldering just one leg to anchor it is ok)
It would suck to have to undo a bunch of solder points just to make a 2 mm change.
Also mind those very breaky original pins on the relay. Don't stress them too much.
Looks good though.

You mean populate only the top side of the PC board by doubling the capacitance.
It's doable only if there is space .
I would just follow the factory solution.
Also, as there is no example of an experienced tech going that route, I would just play it safe and go with what I know works.

I don't think it would be much different if I did that and then ran a jumper from the negative lead to the ground star.
Two 470uf caps wired in series equals 940uf right?

Sounds right.
Actually that would make a 235µF capacitor....... if you really mean 'series'
However if you mean 'parallel' when you say 'series' then 940µF is correct. - Clear as mud ?
So positive to negative is in series and positive to positive and negative to neg is in parallel right

I have my G-9000 which is also 160 watts (8 ohms) hooked up to those 300 watt (8 ohm)Franken speakers and they sound awsome so I'm sure they'll work nicely with the Au-x1.The boxes that are under construction are about 3.5 inches wider and I think that will make the bass a little deeper.
The caps on
The caps on F-2772 are wired neg to positive and then negative to the grounding star.
I meant boxes are deeper not wider and they are one piece the old sony's come apart the horn tweeter section actually lifts off of the mid and woofer section.
Long story read my post G-9000
