I had my numbers backwards the whole time.
I really meant to indicate the LM383 (8W), not the LM386 (which is more suited for driving headphones).
Yes, LM383. The datasheet has a schematic in there for setting up a pair of them in a 'push-pull' configuration to get a 16W amp.
But, as stated earlier, make sure you have a decent heatsink on it, for that matter, any chip you chose, otherwise you'll spend the bulk of your time in 'thermal overload shutdown' and eventually you'll start killing chips.
