Hi Ryan, reducing the number will get you to something like you already have. The BC639/640 and TIP31/32 are current stages to get the output wattage. Your 2N440x are 500-600mA types Can I direct you to TE again ? http://www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/OP-AMP/OP-AMP-1.html Joe ----- No virus found in this message.
