A friend had many TDA2030 ICs so he decided to gift me some. I've checked the datasheet and I took a look at this amplifier, which seems to be a 30W (4Ω) / 15W(8Ω) Op-Amp. I looked at the testing circuit too but I don't really understand it, and I don't really like it. I've decided then to make my own circuit as a classic inverting Op-Amp circuit. I have proper heatsink and I'd like to get out the whole power of this IC.
What is the highest amplification ratio \[(\frac{Vo}{Vi})\] that this IC can take in a basic inverting circuit with 8Ω load and ±12V split supply?
Also, if I'd use 2 ICs in bridge configuration, would it really make the difference or I'd only get higher distortion?
p.s. for basic inverting circuit I mean this:
**broken link removed**
