Small audio amp advice

Jan 18, 2006 1 Replies

For a friend who is at presently building a full body lion costume i am looking into a way to make the lion roar. What i will need is an amp and speaker as small as possible but with a high carrying range/distance. Only mono suits the purpose. Anything that we could build as compact as possible and that can be powered off a small 12V dry battery? Suggestions welcome.

Any of the class D amp chips/modules should work. Googling gainclone will provide a lot of info on National's line of chips. The hard part will be finding a speaker that is small and still able to produce the sound level you want.
