I've been looking at this audio amp since the longhornengineer posted it and I have a couple questions. I don't know much about audio amps since I haven't had to work with one since it was prebuilt into the psone screen.
the chip itself
1. Where can I get speakers for it?
2. Where can I get a headphone jack for it? (I have an extra psone one but I might need a new one in the future)
3. Does the chip need a heatsink?
I can't really find the right parts on mouser.
If I can end up building it I'll put up a nice guide for it on here.

Re: Question about an audio amp
1. Suitable speakers are very hard to get new and on their own, you are better of buying a set of cheap pc speakers.
2. Take it out of something or buy one from somewhere like maplin or RS.
3 No.

Re: Question about an audio amp
I found some speakers on mouser, and someone told me I can get a headphone jack at radio shack. I'll just see how hot it gets, I do have a very small copper heatsink that will fit on it if I need one.

Re: Question about an audio amp
1. You can get speakers for cheap on Mouser.com
I think these will work
http://mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kobiton ... ZtP4Zkg%3d" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
2. Headphone jack on Mouser.com
http://mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kobicon ... 1hjx64k%3d" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Out of stock for now put they will get more soon. This is the one I use.
3. Chip only needs a heatsink if you start sucking lots of wattage. Under 1watt (most portables) you won't need it.
