I have a set of 4 ohm speakers on my computer but they need an amp to work.
After some searching I looked up the Sonic Impact 5066 portable amp.
this amp is good but has its flaws.
It needs a $20 power plug unless you want to run it on 8AA batteries (I don't)
It has some cheap connection points on the input and output
It lacks Bass
I'm planning on modding this amp by running it on a cheaper power plug, upgrading the outputs and inputs to gold plated RCA and binding posts, adding a heat sink to the main chip to keep it cool, and changing some Caps in the circuit to up the bass output.
My problem is finding a power supply that puts out 12V
This amp can only handle a max. input of 13.2VDC, after that the filter caps start blowing and the main chip heats up which causes it to shut down. Most 12Vdc output transformer plugs that I have looked at and tested have put out about 14V...Some as high as 18V!
If anyone knows a good transformer for this project please give me a link, thanks
