AMP is line level; the LM358 can't drive a speaker alone. Complementary emitter-

the negative half. Both halves are actively driven, so there's **no idle resistor and

near-zero quiescent current → it runs cool.** U1A drives both bases; global feedback

from OUT hides crossover distortion (no bias diodes needed).

- Rb1/Rb2 = 10k/10k → base ~6 V. Cc AC-couples AMP onto the base.

- Idle ≈ 0 → **cool, no heatsink.** Re1/Re2 = **10 Ω ¼ W** (4.7–10 Ω ok; carry only AC — not hot).

- OUT sits at ~6 V DC (follows AMP); **Cout 470 µF** blocks it, speaker sees AC only.

(confirm against your batch's datasheet).

|

- PN2222/PN2907 cap ~600 mA → ~1 W into 4 Ω before current-limiting. Plenty for the
|

rumble, and cool. Want more power → TIP120+TIP125 pair, or an amp chip.
|

- Crossover buzz at low level? Split the bases and add **2× 1N4148** between them for
|

bias. Usually unneeded — feedback handles it for a noise source.
