More Upgrade On Integrated Tripath DAC Amplifier

I am enjoying my life recently by listening music on this Tripath DAC amplifier. I am not doing any upgrade on it just because I am satisfy with this tiny amp from tripath. Then from my last upgrade here, I combine this little amp with simple DAC circuit from TDA1543. It sound wonderful. I listen to my music albums collection again and again. Until one day, I notice something went wrong. The sound should be more lively especially on the lower octave. The bass shy and this is not right.

Building TPA3118 Class D Car Amplifier

This car amplifier project is using the old car power amplifier I had. I removed all the amplifier components and leave the power supply section with several components such as input connector and potentiometer in place. I am using this power supply board for my testing purpose. Especially when the new idea comes on myself and it is related to the car audio system. Just like this one, I will build a class D car amplifier based on TPA3118 from Texas Instrument.

Vifa TC9 Fullrange Speaker

It is been a long time since I bought this Vifa TC9-FD18-08 here, it is a 8 ohm driver with almost similar specification as the Vifa TG9 except TG9 is 4 ohm.

Theoretically, the higher impedance will make the distortion lower and I wish I could hear cleaner sound with this 8 ohm speakers. So here there are, a pair of TC9 speaker driver ready to replace my current Vifa TG9.
