Simple 3 Transistors Power Amplifier push a 600W RMS Subwoofer + PCB

Fig. 1 - Simple 3 Transistors Power Amplifier PCB


This is a simple amplifier that uses only 3 transistors, and has the ability to push a 600W RMS Subwoofer speaker with great mastery.

The circuit is quite simple, and easy to assemble, we took this circuit from our Brazilian partner FVM Learning, and this is their direct link www.fvml.com.

This mini amplifier was tested in two stages, one with 24V, with a non-symmetrical power supply, and in 30V also with non-symmetrical power, the result you can watch in the original video at the end of this post.

The Amplifier Circuit

The amplifier circuit is very simple to be arranged in figure 2 just below, it is divided into two stages: 

  • The first stage is the pre-amplification and at the same time used as a drive to boost the output stage. It is formed by a transistor medium power the BD139, which supports a voltage of up to 80V and a current of 1.5A with 12.5 W of power, according to the Datasheet of the same.

  • The second is the power stage, which is formed by the complementary transistors NPN - 2SC5200 and the PNP - 2SA1943 transistor, with 100W of power and high fidelity, whose collector current supported is 15 Amps.

Note

Place the power transistors in a heat sink, especially if you are going to apply a voltage greater than 20V and use the amplifier continuously, they will heat up.

  2. Can this really push 600w? Usually for 2 power transistors it's about 100w..

    1. Hi @OPTUNE FITNESS

      This amplifier doesn't have 600W output, it's impossible to do that with two transistors.
      The title says it pushes a 600W Subwoofer.
      In our tests, the maximum we got was 90W.
      It's a great entry-level amp to build.
      Regards!
