Introduction
I need a speaker on my make my own raspberry pi handheld gaming console.Here is the documentation from my experiment to connect a amplifier to the headphone audio output on the raspberry pi.
Amplifier HXJ8002

I bough this amplifier since it is single channel and has a working voltage range from 2-5.5 V.

"On-board HXJ8002 single channel 3W, BTL bridge connected audio power amplifier chip; Working voltage: 2.0~5.5V; Standby current: 0.6uA (Typical value); Maximum distortion is 0.5% under output average power is 1W, 1kHz input signal frequency and 8ohm load; When THD + D<10% and the input frequency is 1kHz, output power is 3W (3ohm), 2.5W (4ohm), 1.5W (8ohm)." - dx.comPin connections
- VCC to +5v on RPi
- GND to GND on Rpi
- L to Left channel
- R to Right Channel
- V1 to speaker black
- V2 to speaker red
I soldered simple pin headers to the pinouts

"This small, 2W speaker is a compact way to add loud, high-fidelity sound (compared to typical units this size) that can bring your project to life. It includes four 1.0mm-diameter mounting holes." - lawicel
I soldered cables to the red and black solder areas on the back
