Yo, good morning/evening/night. Im very new to these audio things and I searched for something like "Tri-amped amplifier and just found almost nothing, only wikipedia and desc, but I want to get some good one
I have a set of a 10" sub, a 4" mid and a 6" tweeter (2 of each, stereo sound), so I dont really want something loud asf, I just want the best audio fidelity I can get of them (plan to use for mixing) , I'm whillin to pay at the maximum 100U$D
Also, I am using a very very very very old amplifier, Philco - Hitachi PSR 60, Is sounds pretty good, I used to mix on it so anything 2x better than him (doesnt need to be loud as him, I use him at 1-5 volume (from 1 to 10) also, my speakers are 8ohms
Thank you for the attention 🙂

Hi, kuuhaku. This forum is essentially about DIY or do-it-yourself power amplifiers. If you think about it, $100 US doesn't buy you much of a complete stereo amplifier, let alone a multi-channel type and the cost to build one from parts would be more than what you can buy some models for, complete and new with warranty.
Good quality sound for basic mixing purposes is no problem with well designed and built chip-amplifiers like LM3886. These or similar chipamps are inside a lot of multi-channel AV amplifiers. Have you thought about a used 5.1 or 6.1 amplifier as the basis of your system? Once you have it working, a comparison with your old amplifier might be quite surprising and satisfying.

maybe buy several TDA7498 stereo modules (~$35US), transformer(s), capacitors, rectifiers

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks, that's the best explanation/support I get til now haha. I don't really know the difference of a 6.1, 5.1 and 6.1 sound, is it by the channels the amp divide? If that's is it, It sounds good to me, its the same as am amplifier with 5-6 channels right? but I didint get the .1
Also, I searched this LM3886 and saw that it's just a board, how do I power it up? do I need to weld it? I have no weldiung equipment 🙁
But wow, the price is very good!
yeah, I think people understood me wrong, so I continue with my question haha, but finally someone understood what I was trying to say haha 🙂
Wow! This thing price is nice! But how do I power it up and how do I connect it in my pc??
Yo!Maybe you buy a used AV receiver (DVD Home Theater 5.1)?
Connect the subwoofer directly. Medium as fronts. Tweeters - through a non-polar capacitor 2mkf. Connect the stereo signal to the AV input.
At Aliexpress you can buy kits, boards, power supplies, housings for DIY.
Or buy a new AV receiver 2.1)
wow, I never thinked about it, is the sound of the amp flat? like idk how does amp works
Find a used unwanted av amp with even output for all channels, find a schematic. If the design lends itself to this you can strip it of unnecessary boards (tuners, video, dsp etc..) and end up with a 5 channel power amp. I have done this very successfully with a stereo amp (HK 550vxi) and a denon avr3300. On the HK the power supply preamp and amp are all on one board, I only had to reroute the input and output, on the denon I also had to reroute a 12v supply from the reg board, very minor. There are some tricks here, early AV or prologic amps generally don’t make good candidates for this hack and you should look for an AV with an easy design but also one that is very musical....the hunt should be the hardest part. I have 27$ into the denon and just over 7$ (plus a new case) into the HK, good luck
Old Samsung HT-DB300 has a very good sound thanks to Sanken chips. Class AB (analogue), not D - Thomson, Philips (LM3886, STKxxxx? ...).
Class D has great power, but non-musical sound.

The prices are nice because the DIY products are for DIY assembly and completion, any way you want to do it but probably at much greater cost. As I suggested, you need complete and working products real cheap if you don't plan to build things from components........ don't really know the difference of a 6.1, 5.1 and 6.1 sound, is it by the channels the amp divide? If that's is it, It sounds good to me, its the same as am amplifier with 5-6 channels right? but I didint get the .1

When I spoke of chipamps like LM3886 (that's actually an electronic component that solders onto a circuit board) I referred to them being inside a lot of amplifiers. I wasn't suggesting that you buy any kit of parts to assemble anything, as it seemed you didn't want to DIY.
If you want 4-6 channels, you can buy a used multi-channel AV amplifier. 5.1 is a common, basic type. Newer models are 6.1, 7.1 etc. The numbers refer to the number of channels - e.g. 5.1 means five channels + subwoofer connector, 6.1 means 6 channels + subwoofer connector etc. but each channel requires a speaker to be connected to its output in order to hear correct AV sound and you need to operate that amplifier such that you have access to the relevant channel inputs as well as their outputs so each channel works simply, without AV processing. It's not exactly what you need so you need to innovate - right?
However, if you want to mix audio tracks down to 2 channel stereo, you really only need a little multi-channel mixer console with any stereo amplifier + headphones, monitor speakers etc. Think about what you want to do and how professionals and other amateur DJs go about mixing tracks to to make recordings - are you on the right path to do that?
Yo, thank you very much for the explanation about the .1 and the system, your really have clarified my mind 🙂
Also, I want to buy semi-DIY speakers because I cannot afford krk or yamaha or any other good studio monitors because I live in Brasil, so I would pay 3x they price by taxes (or more) so, I already bought the drivers, but I know nothing about amplifiers 😛 well, until now, you guys really are helping me very much and sorry for this bad english, also, I have a question: Is there a chance of a amp having "colored" response? Like a non-flat output signal? Just for know, because as you said, I want to spend the less possible, and I really dont know how to solder and these things, but that's pretty much it
I was informed that I need a 3-way speakers, so I am thinking that I need a 3 way amp for it right? I heard this in everywhere but I dont know any 3way amplifier 🙁 So thats my question, if you guys know a flat response amplifier (if theres no amplifier without flat response, ignore this) that would work good with my 3-way designed system for mixing 🙂
Thank you guys for the attention 🙂
Realy?Please read the datasheets of LM and STK series and then make a statement.If u dont know what u talking then don't talk(write) at all.
Yooooooooo I found this one Onkyo TX SR502 6.1 Channel 390 Watt DTS Dolby Digital Receiver - Silver - Works | eBay
Would it fit good in my sound-system? and also, does these "surround" "front" and etc matters? Like, does it affect the sound?

Then if u listen to the lm 3886 and Stk series u will hear that they are Class ab not Class d what u write in previous post...😀
