Can't look into your parts storage,


You would find it wanting, it's stocked for a beginning hobbyist, not for someone who is reaching beyond their grasp .

  Quote  ... but driving a low impedance speaker requires current. The simplest way to do that from a single cell is use a single cell class D amplifier. I thinks these are available on Aliexpress and others.


"single cell" ?

Is that like the one I linked above, and also this Chinese "knock-off":

I think my final build is just going to look like a bunch of off the shelf Aliexpress SMD modules ... I suppose you then work out what individual components they have on them and design a PCB for JLPCB (other services are available) to populate.

Best wishes,

Tom
