We express the double affine Hecke algebra ℍ associated to the general linear group GL2(k) (here, k is a field with char(k) ≠ 2) as an amalgamated free product of quadratic extensions over the three-dimensional quantum torus 𝒪q((k×)3). With an eye towards proving ring-theoretic results pertaining to ℍ, a general treatment of amalgamated products of Ore and quadratic extensions is given. We prove an analogue of the Hilbert Basis Theorem for an amalgamated product Q of quadratic extensions and determine conditions for when the one-sided ideals of Q are principal or doubly-generated. Furthermore, we determine sufficient conditions which imply Q is a principal ideal ring. Finally, we construct an explicit isomorphism from ℍ to the amalgamated free product ring of quadratic extensions over 𝒪q((k×)3), a ring known to be noetherian. Therefore, it follows that ℍ is noetherian.
