i recently pulled two small 8ohm speakers out of an old radio. i plugged them into my headphone jack of my digitech rp3 because thats the only jack they worked in and it wasnt very loud or clear. i was what are some good amp schematics to use for them?

I built a Noisy Cricket recently. It sounds nice and you can get all the parts at Radio Shack.

My Ruby and Noisy Cricket sound best using a 12" speaker from a stage monitor. Even my two 15" speakers of my PA sounds good. Bigger speaker and some kind of cabinate will sound decent.

Yep.
Ruby and NC II will need a decent speaker (10+ inches) so they don't sound like....noisey crickets. I use a 12" Celestion Greenback clone (Lorentz). It's a little more efficient than original greenbacks. (about 94 dB/W) You won't regret it, even if you gotta work the grill at Burger King or dance naked at hen's nights to get the cash.
cheers
