[![enter image description here][1]][1] [![enter image description here][2]][2] Goal of the circuit: - Must be able to deliver 1.5 W to the speaker (8 Ω) at 1 kHz. **First Problem** 1.) how can we drive an 8 ohm speaker if it can only support around 1.5-2 watts? Because when we input 8ohms as the load the Vout decreases. - Coupling capacitor formula we used is 1/2pi(lowest frequency)(resistance seen by capacitance) 20Hz was the lowest frequency I used. [![][3]][3] Referencing to the image above. If we add a common emitter by our understanding it should increase the power but even with coupling capacitor, it won't shift down to AC. The next step we did was thinking of adding a darlington pair, it did increase the gain, but it still doesn't want to make the AC waveform shift down to its negative half cycles for a safer speaker usage. [![enter image description here][4]][4] [![][5]][5] above is the darlington w/ ce and ef (1s) [![enter image description here][6]][6] above is without the darlington. **Summary** Our goal is to get the output that is the same in the photo below. **note** The RL (R6) is 100K ohms but we want that output if our desired Load is an 8ohms 2W Speaker, that can ultimately support 1.5-2W power for the speaker. **What changes can we implement in our design to achieve this?** [![enter image description here][8]][8] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/xHudZ.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/1zzzx.png [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/uSUxQ.png [4]: https://i.sstatic.net/AF6RA.png [5]: https://i.sstatic.net/2brAa.png [6]: https://i.sstatic.net/cTcmm.png [7]: https://i.sstatic.net/TOkSM.png [8]: https://i.sstatic.net/u5vYT.png
