Title: small amp from PartsExpress
Post by: DrumAnBass on October 18, 2007, 08:21:07 pm

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:

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