Don't skimp on filter capacitors. A pair of 4700µF or higher (rated for at least 63V) will keep your power rails stable and your bass tight.
Features thermal protection and short-circuit protection (allowable shorted time: 0.3s). stk412530 datasheet
The STK412‑530 is designed to be used with a minimum of external components, thanks to its highly integrated internal structure. A typical stereo amplifier application circuit includes: Don't skimp on filter capacitors
While it can certainly drive a subwoofer, the IC is primarily designed for full‑range stereo applications. For subwoofer duty, a more dedicated low‑frequency amplifier with a lower cutoff frequency might be preferable. Nevertheless, many DIY builders have successfully used the STK412‑530 in powered subwoofers with proper filtering. The STK412‑530 is designed to be used with
