Perhaps you cannot 'see the woods for the trees'!

A chip amp is what you want and you are welcome to start looking here

Then follow the GC web ring and you will have all the information that you need.

so many designs.. what should i go for...

My suggestion would be an inverted design using a buffer. Buffer choice is down to what you feel comfortable building, they all sound very good with a GC.

All the designs on my site use the LM3875 but I ahve just built one with an LM3886 that sounds very good too. etails will be posted on DD when I have time.

And don't forget, if you are not happy to build from scratch, there are several people offering PCB's and/or kits.

thanks.. i think im going to build it from scratch..
it dont seem very expensive so im going for it

Why you use the LM1875 for 20w and LM3875 for 50 ~ 60w ?

what should i use for a volume control??? im going to build it in the same case... nothing fancy or expensive.. only going to use 1 input....

im not sure if i should go for the LM3886 or the LM3875. the price is the same.. going to make a amp for a small 6½ inch sub

Use the LM3886 for a sub, it will give a bit more power.

And if this is for a sub, any pot will do. Try a 20K or 50K log. If you want specific recommendations, then search this forum.

thanks.. then i will get 2 LM3875 and 1 LM3886

it was for the stereo amp.. but i will search som more

Yes, that's fine. That's what I use.
