 		This is a project i started last weekend after doingf class AB for some time.

This is the basic circuit of this project: Link2

And this is what it looks like in reality: Link2

This power stage can handle up to 47A continous into any load impedance, in the video its driving a 1ohm load.

 		Very nice, do you plan on cleaning this up into a usable package or was this just a learning project? What is the THD approximately? I'm asking because this is a project I've wanted to do for a while. Not sure if a class D would be right for me, quite a few possible draw backs, like power supply noise qualified by the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and by the power supply induced intermodulation distortion (PS-IMD). Would love to see more on this as you progress, keep us updated! :)

 		It was mostly for fun as well as intended for subwoofer use only.

THD, IMD and that is completely totally unknown.

 		This amplifier is now running off 2x85VDC and capable of over 1800 watts peak into a 2 ohm load(tested).

This is the schematic: Link2

 		What is the frequency of your triangle wave generator? Is it a triangle wave or is it a sawtooth and could you post a picture of it on the scope. thanks.

 		Its approx 250kHz and i dont remember the amplitude, but a line signal from a cd player is barely enough to clip the amp.

 		I built the triangle wave generator for a PWM but I noticed that some choose a saw tooth or a triangle is the best one to use or does it matter? N.B.

 		Your workbench is epic....

You are a credit to the engineering race and I salute you!
