Need recommendation for car amplifier kit

maurycy · 1st October 2008, 07:57 PM

I am looking for an amplifier kit that will run on 12V (car battery). It does not need to be powerful but I will need to drive two pairs of 4 ohm speakers. I need a kit because I am not that handy with building one based on diagram but still want to get my hands dirty soldering.

I have found few that are about 2x10W but have no idea if they are any good:

2x15W Power Amp Kit

2x10W Stereo Amplifier Kit

2x10W Stereo Amplifier Kit

It is for a fancy project that I have posted here

Thanks.

Try posting this in the Chip Amps forum. They'll be able to help.

The amps you posted are very limited in power. They have no more power than a typical head unit. You may want to build a more powerful amp. You'd need to build a switching power supply to produce higher voltage for the audio amplifier but that's not difficult.

Thanks. I did what you suggested and I am now looking at TDA7560 chip to build my amp on.
