So, which one do you guys recommend that i start with? What kind of IC is the "easiest" to built with? Also should i go with class AB or class D or any other class?

I have a 1000w subwoofer at home, but i really doubt that i can build an amp that powerful as a first project but still. Also please link to any good tutorial that i can follow on building an amplifier. I know that there are many threads here but most of them are too advanced for me atm. My "specialty" right now is based around linear power supplies. I have build a few in my days, one is based around LM317 and can deliver around 40 amps with a variable 1.25 - 30 volt. Never tried building a switch mode power supply since i don't have a tool of measure inductance of coils yet :(

Any tips are welcome! :D

Thanks!

LM3666 is the easiest and most simple IC to begin with. It have a modest power of 68 watts into 4 ohms class AB amplifier, which can be raised to 300 watts or more using parallel or bridge configuration.

Please note that the Amplifier IC require dual power supplies .
