"Mini/Compact" Amps

Tried using the search function and didn't really find much in regards to what I'm looking for.

I'm building a pretty specific project that isn't car related. It requires a mini amp or compact amp, whichever term works better. I've done some fairly extensive testing and have definitely come up with what I don't like and only two that I do.

The DS18 Candy Micro 2 was perfect but they've discontinued that amp and what was left of them are gone.

The soundstream double-shot is close performance wise to the DS18 but doesn't put out quite as much volume. The RCA input plug that goes into the amp is extremely flimsy and I can see this being a problem point.

So essentially I've come here to see if anyone knows of an amp that exists that would be no bigger than 3.3'"x5"x1.5". I realize this is pretty hard to do so if I've already discovered all of them it's no biggie.
 
There are tons of these little micro amp boards around.


 
I just received in the mail an amp board similar to what pop just posted. The one I got is the bigger tps3116d2, which is basically 2 of the 3116 boards combined into 1. That Dayton puts out a legitimate 50 watts rms total, or 25 watts rms x 2 though. Nice little amps for projects.
 
I technically need a marine amp but for sure a car audio amp not a home amp. My biggest concern with those parts express amps is the reviews on longevity and quality are pretty iffy. Is there a way to build an enclosure for those amps?

I love my little NVX MVP1A sub amp

Tiny, dirt cheap, super efficient and pushes my JBL 12 with ease

Ch 1 and 2 can be bridged and 3 and 4. The amp shows you where to put the speaker wire to bridge it. It becomes a more powerful 2ch.

Additinally, no need to reference "max" anything as those specs are useless. Most of know how to look at specs for a given speaker, amp, HU, etc...
