This new amp is also overpowered, but not by as much. Currently, the issue I'm having isn't clipping, it's the pop when I turn off the power. |

Those are 40W speakers, so having a 100W+100W amp makes no sense, unless you want to blow your speakers. --- End quote --- It's not uncommon to use an amplifier capable of delivering more power than the speakers can handle. When running a lower-power amp near its limits you can get clipping of any transients which can produce tweeter-destroying amounts of high-frequency power. Obviously trying to run 100W into a 10W speaker will also cause problems, but it's not a bad idea to give yourself some head-room when choosing an amplifier. --- End quote --- Point taken. It's just that his speakers are 6 ohms, so a BTL TPA3116 would never get anywhere near clipping territory. |

However, it seems a little sketchy because he's pulling the positive current to actuate the Mute function from a pin that TI specifically says not to draw on. He's guessing it's not effecting anything, but I don't have all the diagnostic equipment to tell if it pooches anything. I wonder if there's a more "standard" way to implement the mute on startup/shutdown. (his circuit actually doesn't address shutdown) |
