This amplifier circuit will be nice for your car audio system. The circuit is simple, easy to build and not required large box or space.
The TDA1553CQ is a monolithic integrated class-B output amplifier in a 13-lead plastic DIL-bent-SIL power package. It contains 2×22 W amplifiers in BTL configuration. The device is primarily developed for car radio applications.
Loudspeaker anatomy:
In this document, we use the terms ‘loudspeaker’ or ’speaker system’ to denote a unit consisting of one or more drivers in an acoustic enclosure perhaps along with a frequency selective crossover, tone controls and switches, fuses or circuit breakers. Connections to the amplifier or receiver are via terminals on the rear.
The front is covered with an (optically) opaque or semitransparent grille which provides protection and improves the appearance (depending on your point of view).
A ‘driver’ is the actual unit that converts electrical energy into sound energy. Most drivers use voice coil technology: a very low mass coil wound on a light rigid tube is suspended within a powerful magnetic field and attached to a paper, plastic, or composite cone. The audio signal causes the coil to move back and forth and this motion causes the cone to move which causes the air to move which we perceive as sound.
