Aussie amps...?

[mrnedrub]

Does anyone know of any 12vdc car amp diy projects? lt can be any type eg:4chnl , 2chnl , monoblock. Or does anyone know of a site that sells kits whole? This site is great and is sure to be a new place that l will learn alot from. l am new to this site and have looked at car audio section first. l cant seem to find a question like this so if there is please forgive me.
P.S high end amps are what lm after. Thanks

Hi,

Welcome, I don't think there is a single thread that would address the answer you are looking for. But I think most of the pieces you need are available in the various forums...

There a some important differences between audio for cars and audio for the home. Not all of which are addressed directly yet, but the first and trickiest is probably power, luckily some of the folks here in the car audio section are pursuing the development of a high power Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which used properly could power just about any high end amplifier.

The upshot of this is that if you follow the various threads in the other forums about amps in general, find a design that floats your boat, you then can follow the threads here discussing and ultimately making the power supply and then you should have the start of a really, really good car amp. Packaging is a bit of an issue, but buying a cheap car amp and gutting it gets you along way towards the goal...
