Saw this little audio amp on the PartsExpress homepage - seems like a good alternative to a car amp or computer speaker hacking for arcade cabinet audio:

Little (power-wise) is right.  Most decent computer speakers put out more power.

The amp just ain't got enough power for my pair of 400watt speakers (IMHO).
