22 Watt Audio AmplifierThe 22 watt amp is easy to build, and very inexpensive. The circuit can be used
as a booster in a car audio system, an amp for satellite speakers in a surround
sound or home theater system, or as an amp for computer speakers. The circuit is
quite compact and uses only about 60 watts. The circuit is not mine, it came from
Popular Electronics.

Notes
1. The circuit works best with 4 ohm speakers, but 8 ohm units will do.
2. The circuit dissipates roughly 28 watts of heat, so a good heatsink is necessary.
The chip should run cool enough to touch with the proper heatsink installed.
3. The circuit operates at 12 Volts at about 5 Amps at full volume. Lower volumes
use less current, and therefore produce less heat.
4. Printed circuit board is preferred, but universal solder or perf board will
do. Keep lead length short.
