This is an AB class audio amplifier based on the TDA7388 chip and it is a great choice for car audio applications. This compact board has 4 channels each 26W with 4 ohms speaker. Then IC consists of a fully complementary PNP/NPN configuration and the TDA7388 allows a rail-to-rail output voltage swing with no need for bootstrap capacitors. The extremely reduced boundary components count allows very compact sets. The TDA7388’s inputs are ground-compatible and can stand very high input signals (±8 Vpk) without any performance degradation. The standard value for the input capacitors (0.1 µF) is adopted, and the low-frequency cut-off amount to 16 Hz. 4 x 3.5 mm stereo EP socket helps to feed audio signals, and the onboard screw terminal makes life easy for speaker connections, and the power supply input. Onboard jumpers are provided to select the standby and mute function. D1 indicates power present. Mounting a proper heatsink is very important for chip health.

Connections
Is it possible to connect 2 of the 4 channels for 2 channels being 26W and 1 channel being 52W? What would I look for to determine this in the future with other ICs ?
