Keg Amp

Hello,

 

I am going to try and build a keg amp. I have never even thought of making an amp before, so does anybody have any suggestions on material I might need?

 

Thank you

Here's info on 2 different small amp projects. I like the Noisy Cricket best, but they're both good.

The Ruby sounds best at 12V, The Noisy Cricket only needs 9V.

Just need a circuit, I've taken mine from either kids toys, kareoke machine, basically anything I can detect an input connection and output connection, then you just need a speaker and input jack. Make sure you get the speaker ohmage to match the circuit you are using. You never know what it sounds like until you put it together, I always connect it up test it and then build it into a box.
