Hello i am thinking of making a Bluetooth sound bar out of my old laptop lenovo laptop ( ideapad 510) internal speakers, from the internet i learnt that you need to change the digital signal to analog and then amplify the signal before connecting it to the speaker. I am a little worried about the amplification i am not sure which module to buy so that i don't fry my speakers with tons of juice.. please help me....
Thank you in advance
