Hey guys,
Due to some unfortunate circumstances surrounding my car being stolen, it currently has no radio and no power to the wires needed to hook a new one up. What I would like to do is put a small, self-powered amplifier between the speakers and my DAP. When connected directly, the DAP produces audible sound, but too quiet for practical use while driving.
On another board, I was directed to the below schematic, which I attempted to assemble. Unfortunately, this proved to be beyond my skill level.

I then began to look for commercial alternatives, which is where I'm at now. Would any of the below or another product on the market be suitable for this purpose? Since these are bad speakers and I'll be listening while driving, price is a higher priority than sound quality, as long as the music isn't heavily distorted. I have tried to figure this out on my own, but couldn't convince myself either way and decided the best thing to do would be to ask those with more experience in these matters.
Thanks for any help.
