I know this is probably one of the most well-documented circuits, as before I had much interest I've seen pages upon pages of different ones and different strengths, etc. etc.
I, on the other hand, have zero knowledge of circuits other than your basic resistor, LED, battery, relay, pot, etc., and so I wanted to post the question here rather than just follow some pre-made steps, as a lot of you can help me with the questions that I will undoubtedly have. It will serve as a jumping point for me to finally learn electronics.
Go ahead, have a laugh at my state of being a newbie at this stuff.
The background is that a friend was cleaning his garage and gave me an old portable Bose speaker dock. Now, the only connection available is an iPod dock connector, so I have no way of really using it (the only iPod I have I can't find) and I wanted to use it in a DIY-audio sense. So I've stripped out the two speaker units, and they seem to be pretty good-grade power units for the size of the dock itself.
Standard red/black two-pin hooks on each.
I was wanting to build an amplifier circuit with rotary pot for volume control and a power switch to control and run these, along with a 1/4" TRS jack for signal feeding.
