DIY Car Amp

September 5, 2005 5:34 PM

My car stereo was recently stolen. Since all I used it for was to route my mp3 player through the RCA in's, and since I've been kicking myself to start doing some DIY electronics projects, I'd like to make my own amp rather then buy a new stereo. What would I need to do this project myself?

So far I found is this and it's a bit over my head. The system in my car is the typical 4 speakers, and my aftermarket stereo was rated 45Wx4 and drove them pretty damn good. In short, what do I need to know, and where do I go and learn it? Does anyone have a recommendation for a good kit? I can solder, use a multimeter, and am familiar with basic electronics (at least from a theoretical standpoint).

This link looks like a good place to start.
