T-AMP

Nice amp.  Class D or T and is why they don't need to be heavy.  This one gets some good reviews with the HiFi guys.  I think they both are about the same power rating.

Yours must be a bit newer though as I didn't see it when I picked mine up a few months ago and don't know much about yours.  Pretty good amps though.

I used the T-Amp in a project I built in 2006.  Good unit.

apologies for jumping in on this.
I have a cab with some speakers that were already in them, I decided not to use them and got some cheap ones.
If I wanted to hook up the existing speakers could I use one of these amps?
I am terrible at wiring etc, would there be much hacking involved?
How would I power the speakers?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Thanks
Sham

This is my preference for such an application (though it is more expensive than the amp you bought); the "AMP-100" from David Navone's site:



It is 20W x 2 @ 4 ohms; relatively small (1.5" x 3" x 4"); has gold-plated RCA jacks; is a traditional toroidal transformer based amp, rather than an "amp-on-a-chip"; and was designed by David Navone who is a legend in the car audio circle. 

Another nice thing about this amp is that it has speaker-level inputs in addition to the RCA jacks, so it could be used in any arcade cabinet with ease; just use the existing speaker wires for input, and wire the amp's output to the existing speakers (or get some better speakers).

Just in case some people think car audio is the only option, there are now lots of opportunities for home audio parts:

Ex: This $35 2x4W @ 4 ohm amp runs off 120AC: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=248-460
4Watts is low, but you can get 4x40 for < $70.

Parts Express is good for home (& shielded) speakers also.
