QUASI Amplifier for Beginners

Have fun.

I will test a version with 1 pair of 2N2922. Hope it will be a nice compact modul.
(Picture is layout work in progress ;-)

The devices are not in a good place to dissipate heat.
They would be much better cooled in the devices are located about 40% up from the bottom of the vertical backplate. And the fins must be vertical.

Locating as you have shown will leave the devices and the top edge of the heatsink quite hot. The bottom edge and much of the middle of the heatsink will remain quite cool in comparison. This wastes much of the dissipation capability of the heatsink.
 
+-30Vdc will sag to maybe around +-27Vdc when driving full power to a test resistor.
The voltage lost through the amplifier could be very approximately 3Vdrop when delivery that full power to the test load.
That leaves your maximum output voltage @ ~24Vpk.

Pmax = Vpk^2 / Rload / 2.
I predict your maximum power for a +-30Vdc supply as ~ 36W into 8r0

These sums are simple. I expect you to never ask this question again !
