I've looked around, and everything I've found - so far - is either too large, or generates too much heat. If anyone has a suggestion on where I can go to find a board that handles direct DC input, and is a small enough form factor that I can easily mount it in my case, I would highly appreciate it.

I'll keep looking around and posting what I've found if no one else replies here - either way, I need something small.

AND DON'T WORRY! I'll post pictures soon!!

4 channel amp for 12V - 24V and low impedance loads

* Four channels of Tripath sound quality, based on Tripath TAA4100A
* Output 4x60W at low distortion, 4x100W peak
* Suitable for low impedance loads, 4 x 2 ohms 12V typical
* Up to 27V supplies make is suitable for 24V systems.
* Outputs can be paralelled for even higher outputs into very low impedance loads
* Mostly hole mounted components. Relatively low component count.
* 35A rectifier on board
* Board size 50 x 160 mm
* Height 60 mm with 3 x 15.000 uF 35V bulk capacitors for up to 27V supplies (standard)
* Low profile version 30 mm with 3 x 12.000 uF 16V capacitors for 12V supplies (on request)
