How about one of these modules?

I have one of their old bipolar transistor ones here that my brother
built into a sub. It's been running on and off (depending on who
could find room for it at the time...) for years! £43-85 incl vat
for 100w with a built in power supply can't be bad.

Bloody hell, those modules have been around for YEARS, haven't they?!

Specs look a bit... well, for example, the 100W nominal one claims
105W into 8 Ohms (fair enough), but only 115W into 4 Ohms. Krell it
ain't.

Worse yet, the amp marketed as 1000W is positively cheeky:

8 Ohms: 550W -- HUH? I thought this was meant to be 1000W Cheeky
gits. 4 Ohms: 725W
2 Ohms: 1050W

Even quartering the load resistance, you get less than a doubling of
supplied power.

Still, they're cheap so you can't really complain, but I think that
given that their 100W amp really does deliver 105W into 8 Ohms, it's
a ****ing cheek that you only get 550W from the "1000W" amp, and you
need to go down to 2 Ohms to get your 1000W!

any other idea's then martin? i want a mono setup ideally.
