Hi everyone,

Currently I'm using this PCB for LM1875 with AC 17-0-17 to drive 4ohm 4inch speaker.
Amplifier PCB for TDA2030/LM1875 - oddWires

And now I want to change new speaker from Peerless with 8ohm 6.5 inch, 60W RMS and peak 100W as manufacturer.

Peerless by Tymphany 830657 6-1/2" Paper Cone SDS Woofer

Because I really like sound tone from LM1875, so I have planed make this PCB run as Bridge Mode,

The question is this config is good option for Peerless ?
Also can I remove C10 in PCB ?

Thanks & Best Regards

It is not a good idea to bridge single LM1875s because the LM1875 is already short of current capability to run 4 Ohm speakers. The current limiter kicks in at around 32W in 4 Ohm and around +/-21V of supply. Your supply voltage is higher.

No.
24V rail and 4 ohm equivalent speaker or 48V and 8 ohm (same thing, because of bridging) needs 6A peak capability from chipamp.

LM1875 is limited to 4A typical and guaranteed minimum 3A.

C10 question becomes irrelevant.

For the transformer there is no problem, I can change to 15-0-15.
But the problem is how can I drive this speaker 8ohm 6.5 inch, 60W RMS as bridge config
