[Amps] Odd query....

[Jeff AC0C]

Some would argue - correctly in my view - that the deep frying a turkey in 
peanut oil would be a far more satisfying project than building an amp which 
is submersed in oil.

Since it's for a low frequency application, my first thought was to just
toss it in a bucket of oil. But that wouldn't fit in the volume I need
to work with. It would also get messy when I had to move it...

I could put it in a custom fitted oil-tight box but that's way more
effort than would be FUN to do.

Turkey in oil? You southern boys sure have weird dietary needs....
