Good Morning:

Several amplifier designs for even a 20 lb 8877 Amplifier, which includes power 
supply have been developed over the years.  Do a Google search for these 
amplifiers using an 8877 and you will come up with several.  Watts unlimited 
power supply's which were light in weight was the power supply used in most of 
these amps.
