Howdy all! A few years back i bought a small amp to power a couple speakers (Lepia lp-808). i finally got around to it, and while in testing, i realize its not very loud.. i was considering making my own amp after i was browsing mouser and come across a TDA7396. its 12vdc friendly, and appears to be the most simple circuit ever lol.
I see its mono input/output, maybe i should be looking into a left/right input ic?? The amp input signal will solely be a phone via 3.5mm jack.
datasheet:

Questions:
1) is this circuit really that easy to construct??
2) can i omit pins 4 and 8 as i dont wanna bother with the extra functions?
3) is there a better option out there; i.e 12v compatible, 40ish watts rms
4) suggestions on a 2 channel input??
I just happen to find this IC in a few min of searching, and am considering it. I see its 4 years old, not sure if its been surpassed immensely for what it does.
Advise is much appreciated!
