I currently don't have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what's left of it).

I don't actually have a favorite one. I made an art deco speaker I liked so much, I kept it and it seemed to sound better than some of the others, but I couldn't ever find it again. Right now there are two chips that are commonly used. The TDA7498 and TPS3116. Even though the 3116 sounds better on paper, I prefer the TDA7498 for sound quality. Other than that just look for the features you like. I have never done the surround sound thing but it is definitely possible. You can get the parts you need at as place called partsxpress.com.
