each amp is having 4 quadrants of outputs ;

2 quadrants of P type and 2 quadrants of N type mosfets

so it can have 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ( not going further ) mosfets per quadrant ;

meaning 2 , 4 , 6 ,8 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 , 20 P-N mosfet pairs

meaning 4 , 8 , 12 , 16 , 20 , 24 , 28 , 32 , 36 , 40 mosfets

so - specify what you mean by "10 pairs"
 
so do the power calculations go this way>
1. +/-45v for x250 delivering 250w in 8 ohms 500 in 4ohms

so when a amplifier being bridged at 45v then it has to be stable at 2 ohms so take it 45/2 which is 22.5 amps so 10n and 10p for two quadrants its 2.25amps shared by each mosfet?

so for x1000.5 the voltage is +/-75 so at 2 ohms its 37.5 so for each rail per quadrant there has to be 20n or 20p which will give 1.875amps per mosfet?

so that makes the amp stable even at 4 ohms is it?
 
why must you continue to say 'stable into 2Ω' or 'stable into 4Ω'? The drive ability/current of an amplifier into low impedance loads, has nothing to do with stability. youve been told repeatedly, we know what you mean, but only by reading between the lines.

erm... what has that got to do with stability? I gather you dont understand the term? stability speaks of the feedback loop conditions and ringing/oscillation/phase margin (or lack thereof), not drive power or SOA. Sure a mosfet that is melting is not likely to be very stable as a result, but one term has nothing to do with the other.

have you looked at any of the X type pass labs amps or schematics? I just wonder how (ALL OF) them being inherently bridged was unknown to you. The X in the name stands for a topology, a cross-coupled Balanced-Single ended or 'Super-symmetric' design, made with all N channel (normally) power devices. its so named because of the distinctive X in the schematic/feedback
