I need it for car , I'm puting sound directly to speakers from a soundcard. I need small amp (25w or 50w) for center speaker and 2 bass shakers.
I don't mind make it , if there is kit.
I can put them together but I don't know how to design.

If you are making it, you have more flexability, would you want 3 channels?? 1 for the center speaker and 2 for the bass shakers??
National has an amp IC that can deliver 170watts into a 4ohm load with +-28volts, You can also use it with +-12volts and get 60watts into a 4ohm load, but then you have the problem of getting + and - in the car..
For more info, go to nationals site, www.national.com , and search for LM4651 and LM4652, one of these devices is the amp, the other is a MOSFET chip.

dont make an amp....... buy a good quality name brand amp.... they have spent the time producing these things, so they know what they are doing!

Personal choice is clarion, kicker, pioneer....

I remember i got my Alpine 2x25 amp from an old Mercedes (early 80's model). Those cars used to come with Alpine stereo system as standard and it seems like they had seperate amp for the deck.
I used to run my 12's of it for a while (everybody though it was a cross over dox, Its bit biger then a cigarett box and the quality is great)
and now it gave it to friend of mine to run his 6x9 of it.
If you have a local car yard give that a try you might pick one up for few dollars.
