Home/Car Amplifier

Home/Car Amplifier

Home/Car Amplifier

(OP)
Hello, I have a question about building a home amplifier.  I drive a car on its last leg and the stereo was stolen from it.(which didn't work anyways, so i hope someone's really enjoying it).  But, I was wondering how difficult it would be to build a simple amplifier so I can hook up my MP3 player to the speakers.  It runs on a simple AA batery.

I have a selection of old stereo's that I might be able to take parts from if that might help.  I really know little about this.

If there is another forum that might be better suited for this question can someone please let me know.

Cheers

RE: Home/Car Amplifier

I commend you on your gung-ho attitude.  However making an audio amplifier of the quality deemed resonable for listening is WAY beyond the pages of this forum and not trivial.

I you want to actually construct one *you* should start by finding a kit amplifier.  There are several around. They usually work well, and are well documented.
