Thanks Paul found a speaker cover today so it's done.

Looks great...

Thanks Dave and bouydog, got a little 5w coming from China (of course) for $20. I'll gut it and mount it in a cigbox with a 5" and see how it goes. If it's ok, it's worth $20 to me to not have to solder up a circuit myself. I've only done that once and even with my elec. engineer buddy's help it took an hour.

Score!

Hi Glen where else could it go.

You are right I would not pay that either, I paid £4.50 ebay.

Hi Glenn... Check Ebay for first act amps I believe they may fit the bill for a five watt amp. I used one before and they work pretty well. Some work on batt power and some are run by adapter..... Dave

Thanks for the info. Not sure I'll pony up a $100 to pull it apart and check out the circuit though.

Socket between the legs...BAHAHAHAHA! Sorry. I'm kinda immature.

Hi Glenn the circuit is from a burswood 5w amp I think these are sold as part of a guitar & amp combo aimed at kids. I cannot comment on battery life yet as it is not quite finished and I have only tested it to make sure it all works, speaker cover to be sourced. But it can be used with a mains adapter, socket between the legs.

Very cool. What circuit are you using to get 5W output running from a 9v battery? Battery life must be pretty short at 5W, yeah?
