In a bed? You have my attention curiosity.

 

An Arduino wouldn't be my first choice, but there are lots of do-it-yourself amps out there:

On a side note, the Arduino could manage front-end stuff like Bluetooth connectivity. Just a thought.

Bluetooth is probably a key aspect for him.  Lots of devices work nicely with audio and bluetooth :)

 

Or if it's just a 5.1 surround bed theatre... eh.

I'm installing probably 2-4 speakers in a bed, but have no reciever to power them and supply audio. I dont want to spend more than $100 for this since it's a small project. Is there some way I can make an amp/ reciever with arduino of some sort?

Could get two small amps, then split the audio. like this: https://www.amazon.com/Lepy-LP-2020A-Digital-Amplifier-Stereo/dp/B00C2P61FO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=lepy+amp&qid=1554763248&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

Just as I replicated linus's desk PC, I'm practically done building this as of today:
