Class D Amp with LM566, LM393 and 2XIRF530

Maybe because the idea of a 2 KW half bridge is totally crazy, specially when i have the same amount of power with two half bridge configured in bridge, lower tension, lower stress for component, no bus-pumping, higher damping factor, higher sound quality cause higher switching frequency.
 
Assuming that a common class d amplifier have 90% efficiency, obviously a 2kw class D with Fsw of 40khz have much worse efficiency, a lot of car amplifier chinese board have this Fsw and have 70-80% efficiency, then we expect 400-600 watt of dissipation, in my opinion too much for two component
 
D4000 idea

Hi Mile, nice to meet you.

What is the advantage using IGBT (slow switch) instead of mosfet with higher speed and comparable voltage level also. For now, my IGBT class D design is just idea. Some people rejected this idea as mosfet is going better and bigger.
