yes, with 5s battery - 20v , the output is very good. Initially used with 4s which has distortion over higher volumes later charged to 5s and it works like a charm.
Yes I'm busy to build a guitar amplifier. A few days ago I when I received the board, I tested with 12 and 24 volt 5 A powersuply and 2 speakers of each 4 Ohm and 230 watt peak. The speakers I connected in series and that gives me 8 Ohm. With the volume full open it still has a clear sound and it use low power consumption, a power supply of 24 volt 2.5 A is more then enough, but keep in mind that this amplifier works optimal with 24 volt and speaker of 8 Ohm. I still wait for the volume tone preamp board.
I use it with 24v 2.5 A power supply and one active tone control with preamp and a second guitar preamp with 3 inputs plus I made a headphone and line output. It works perfectly fine without hum. So in total, I build a full guitar amplifier including a build in backtrack controller. The speaker is 60 watt. Keep in mind that the amp needs it's own power supply separate from other circuits.
I used this amp on 4.2 volt power bank using a DC DC step up booster and 8 inch woofer. The results are awesome. Continuous play for 12 hours and more on loud volume.
You can power it with that but it will get distorted sounds because it will require more power when you turn on the volume. This board doesn't have Bluetooth
hi, In test run, I wrongly connect power supply to audio input. I do not know what happened to my amp but when I change the connections to proper pattern, There was a dot shaped sound coming from speaker. even if I disconnected Audio in wires, the Amp still produces dot shaped sound. I used Same amp as you. Thank you for your respond in advance.
Hey Taylor, Can I use Speaker level input to this Board ?? I have a low performing center speaker of the soundbar, which has a very low dialogs.. Please help me to up my center speaker output
I connected mine to a guitar speaker with a variable voltage power supply. Even without an input I get a lot of hiss. Could that be the power supply? I’ve tried varying the voltage and get the same noise.
Hey one question. On the datasheet it says it runs from 4.5v up to 24v. But with 5v power bank power no sound occur. Here and in other videos everyone is saying it work with 12-24v. is 5v not enough? Good video, thank you for sharing your knowledge
@@TaylorSoloaiJR That might be the difference between TI's nominal specs for the IC, and the capabilities as limited by the implementation of this pre-assembled board.
To make sure the audio source is protected, I used the 2 x 1K resistors. That way you don't short out the left and right channel audio from the phone. I don't know too much about electronics but I did some research and it's not good to connect the R and L channel without any resistors. Theirs a lot of information online about this so you have to also do some research to confirm what I'm doing is safe for the phone or not.

Hi man please answer me. I built a similar system using 2x 9v batteries, tda8932 amplifier and 20w 4 ohm speaker. However, it sounds super low. Is it because 9v batteries can't produce enough current for amplifier to produce high power for speaker? Or what would be the issue. Because I tried using 12 v 2a ac dc adapter but it makes buzzing noise on speakers...
@@TaylorSoloaiJR oh man thanks for your reply. However recently I have solved the issue. I got my speaker worked with 2x 9v batteries with no problem. Sound was super clear and high. I could not even full the volume only 13/50 volume in a closed room. The problem was about a cable. I soldered it and the sound increased dramatically. Now, the last and actual issue is. When I use the same power source( batteries) with mp3 decoder and amplifier it creates buzzing noise like when I use 12 v 2a adapter. But when I power the mp3 decoder and amplifier from separete power sources( for example amp is powered by 12 v 2a adapter, and mp3 powered by 9v battery) it works fine without any buzzing noise.

By the way I have x6019 5v-35 v to 3.3v -40 v converter. So I use 2 lithium ion batteries in paralel to power mp3 decoder in 12 V and normally my amp also works 10v-30v range. But it seems like my li ion batteries can't power both the amp and mp3 decoder. Because that time my decoder keeps resetting itself. (To me that might be not enough current??) But I try with 12v 2a adapter it gives buzzing beeping noise while playing music. If I ever find out why happens and how to solve then I am going to make it work with batteries only. But when I power them seperately it is so fun. Because almost no noise and so great sound quality.
Get 22V and just don't max the volume. You don't want to underpower the amp and then make it clip instead. Higher power (22V) at a lower volume means less THD.
Not even 3 bucks to amplify something like, i dunno, my TG118 that's half broken (or maybe my Logitech X-210 subwoofer). Call me a happy customer, if i had the guts to take apart my daily speaker, and amplify it to triple the power 🤣 PS: Still love your quality content 👍❤

Oh my God I hope you're kidding. They are so expensive! I use these things in old speaker cabs to make BT speakers.
@finished6267 They measure well! They are used in the 8030C, so the smaller monitors.

How many voltage do you stepped form 4.2v? The ampere will drop or not ?
I've tried this and it doesn't work properly, from 4.2V to 12V will not work properly when the bass is strong. It will just simply shut off.
How many Ohm/resistor use per channel?
But you can't really depend on multimeter to find the amp since they give a value which is like average of reading.
What do you suggest I do when reviewing and checking how much power an amplifier uses?

In the beginning or towards the end?
if you want no distortion at 100% volume use higher voltage input power supply

I have a mono speaker 50 rms watts and this amplifier. Do you think I have to give it 30-40 watts or 50-60? (22v). I want to listen bass music
Not really an expert in these type of these things, maybe you can just try it out. Btw I don't think this amplifier goes up to 60W.
Get 22V and just don't max the volume. You don't want to underpower the amp and then make it clip instead. Higher power (22V) at a lower volume means less THD.
