The fins were added to a simple flat aluminium panel, and are made from 20 x 20 x 3mm aluminium angle. Their purpose is threefold - they improve the performance of the plate as a heatsink (although this is not necessary with the BP4078 PWM amp), they make the panel a lot more rigid, and provide essential protection for the volume control and phase switch. It also looks better IMO - it looks like it means business, rather than looking like one of those wimpy 50W plate amps you see advertised.
Description: The integrated circuit TDA1083 includes, with exception of the FM front end, a complete AM-/FM-radio-circuit with audio power amplifier. An internal Z-diode stabilizes the supply voltage at VS 13 V, which allows with the aid of a resistor and a rectifier, the circuit to be driven by a higher external supply voltage. Features: Large supply voltage range VS = 3 to 12 V High AM-Sensitivity Limiting threshold voltage Vi = 50 V Audio output power P0 = 0.7 W AFC-connection for VHF-tuner AM-FM switching without high frequency voltages Applications: AM-/FM- and audio-amplifier Circuit Diagram: Circuit diagram for One Chip AM/FM Radio with Audio Power Amplifier Datasheet for TDA1083: Download
