Description.
This is the circuit diagram of a fully transistorized sub woofer amplifier that can produce an output of 100W.There are seven transistors including four in the output stage. The transistors Q1 and Q2 form the preamplifier stage. Transistors Q4 to Q7 form the output stage. Since no ICs are used the circuit is very robust and can be easily assembled on a general purpose PCB.

If you are not familiar with the basics of electronics, CircuitsToday has provided a list of 4 really good books to learn the basics of electronics. To get a better practical knowledge in the subject you can buy these books from here:- 4 GREAT BOOKS TO LEARN BASIC ELECTRONICS.

Circuit diagram with Parts list.
100-w-subwoofer-amplifier-circuit

Notes.

  • The circuit can be powered from a +35V/-35V, 5A dual power supply.
  • Use a 100W, 12 inch sub woofer at the output.
  • All electrolytic capacitors must be rated 100V.
  • The transistor Q4 to Q7 must be fitted with heat sinks.

  4. Shailendra Yadav

    Hello sir,
    I have built this circuit and it is working fine. I had power up with +/-27 volt and sound is very clear and clean. But C2 polarity shown wrongly in this circuit. With wrong polarity of C2 amplifier will not work and R13 will brunt. So keep +ve side of C2 towards GND.

    • sajeersha

      could you please explain the 27v power supply for me.

  5. ramesh harijan

    I made an amplifier using the ta72222 ic to make it sound slow in the sound of what’s going to happen. please help me…sr

  6. Hi Seetharaman,

    I’ve built this circuit but it doesn’t work. Resistor R16 and R14 are heating up and I’ve used a 24-0-24V/5A transformer which gives a DC output of 36.7V. Any workaround for the heating problem would be appreciated.

    Plz help me sir…
    Thanks

  11. Mani deep

    Hi,
    I have a doubt.
    Is this circuit only a low frequency amplifier or it is just a high power amplifier?
    What I mean is, will the subwoofer connected to it produces only low frequency effects or both low and high frequencies combinedly when connected to a 2 channel auxiliary analog sound input(like the mobile phone)?

  12. Manideep

    Hi sir,
    I want to know where to put the volume control for this! Plz tell me the position and rating of the control.

    Thank you.

  13. Can any one tell me the minimum voltage and current that we can apply ?

  14. Hi Mr.Seetharaman, can I use your 150 watts amplifier as a subwoofer amp in my 12″ 8ohms 200W subwoofer instead of this 100watts sub- amp as shown obove?

    any suggestion will be very much appreciated.

    thanks.

  15. Mlamla Yongama

    Can you please help me with the explanation of functions of each component for the whole circuit. Please.

  16. Gud pm sir ….

    can i ask for the value of the resistors and how many volts do i have to use in capacitors

    tnx and god bless

    • @burhan – we dont sell this as kit now.We will definitely add this kit later!

      • sir what is Q4 and r 8 or c 2 means and you given the numbers also , how i can recognize that that is register or what is mospet or diodes , i means this diagrams shows numbers but iam a fresher how will i know what will be placed where codes are in short cut plzz clearly define codes like q8 and c2 or r 8 etc what they means ,

    • it doesn’t work. i simulated it, it has a explotion on it

  17. so, I’ll be using a low frequency pass filter from a pre-built multimedia speaker system. & I don’t have any problems regarding the circuit. but, I am unable to find or harness the input voltages which are +/- 35V. what should I be doing to, get those voltages. what rating of transformer should be used?

  18. Well that was a stupid question which I asked. I should be using the low pass filter. so, the last remaining doubt for me, is Power supply. what should I do? and will it put 100W Rms into a 8inch 100W subwoofer when the Input voltage is +/- 35V ?

  19. should the input fed into the circuit be after processed low frequency ? or could it be normal stereo input ? and as this circuit is based on transistors, should the power supply a AC supply be used? i’m unable to find +/- 35V power supply. all I could find is a 14V AC which when Rectified gives a total output of 18~19V DC. so, what should I be doing? Thanks in Advance.

  20. Bholanath Tewari

    Unable to understand where to connect volume control, bass control and terrible control will be placed on the circuit….Plz help me

  21. Hello sir,
    I hope that u will be fine. Sir, I want to making an amplifier. So please guide me. Which is the best circuit,”100 watt or 150 watt.”

  40. sir..i made this circuit…i designed the PCB and buld it…but it works in best way for 3 mins and then lower the sound and produce a humming sound with varying bass sound… one 3773 transister is heating up… i cant understand why it is happening… can any one help me….

    • anil babbar

      please check Q5 & Q6 , and re-solder all the connections ( to rule out any dry solder- its a common problem with etched pcb)
      also check the pcb it must be an etched pcb sometimes it is not able to carry the current the best way( for the hobbyist) is to solder a copper wire all along the pcb connections
      finally the Q 7 is bound to heat up and iff u mount Q6 also on the same sink it will also get heated. USE A GOOD QUALITY HEAVY HEAT SINK OF NOT LESS THAN 8″ x 4″ WITH GOOD FINS

  41. anil babbar

    sir I want to add a filter circuit to this amplifier which requires a separate power supply of +12 / -12 VDC, can you give me a power supply circuit that can supply +/- 12 VDC and +/- 35 VDC from a single transformer
    thanks

  42. my question is that i can not get the transistor 2n3773 because in the circuit diagram you have shown three legs of that transistor but in market it has only two legs.could you please tell me the substitution of that transistor or please guide me because i have to submit my final project in two weeks. please help me……….

    another request sir…please send me the dual 35+/35- power supply circuit of the amplifier.

  48. Hi sir! is this ckt need separate transformer? or can i use tip 142 and 147 150 watt ckt’s powersuply. if i connect like that, is this both amps output transistors will short?

  49. Any problem when can i connect 10inch 4ohm subwoofr on this circut. If no problem how much power will get?

    • Seetharaman

      Why this funny question? use supply voltage as recommended in the project. you can use a 25-0-25 5amps transformer with rectifiers smoothing capacitors and 6amp bridge rectifier (See 150 watts amplifier circuit for the power supply circuit). which will give you +35 -0- -35 volt DC for the amplifier.

  50. Hello, every one can i attach Q4 to Q7 in one heat sink and also give the perfect size of heat sink for this project thanks please reply I m waiting .

  51. hello sir pls I have a question based on how to calculate the output power of this amp. U mention dat d relation of d output power is d square of voltage swing on d speaker leads divided by the impedence.pls sir I need explanations in detail. Thanks

  52. Hello,

    I managed to build the circuit and on an ossciloscope the readings look correct but when i connect a speaker instead it shorts on the negative end of the circuit. Any idea how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    here we have mac 8″ can i use.

    what type of woofer I must use name please.

    • or give me a name of circuit to connect 8″ to 12 ” woofer.

    • Seetharaman

      This IC is a car amplifier chip to handle car battery voltage . you can use 13.2 volt DC. A 0-9 volt transformer rated for 2 amps is more than sufficient. use a 3amp bridge rectifier and 4700uF 25 volt filter capacitor in parallel with 0.1uf 25volt ceramic disc capacitor. The IC will give 4.5 watt rms output into 4 ohms speaker.

      • So what is the rms output for this 100 watt circuit?

  58. hi every 1 pls I have a question..pls I have a 2ohms 50watt subwoofer speaker can I use it wit dis amp

  66. This amp works great. I was unable to find a 2N5494, but searching through the replies from the author identified similar replacements. The only problem I’m having is the presence of 0.177v at the output with no input. I’ll do a little adjusting on the bench to move the crossover point. Regardless, this works as published.

  67. Hai sir, SEETHARAMAN. Does this amp needs preamplifier to amplify below 140htz signals or jst audio output any source will do, can u plz send me the circuit PCB,thanx for the reply.

  80. Harry Cat

    I have a question about the required power supply for this amp circuit..
    I currently have a 36-0-36 5 amp per side transformer that will deliver +-35 volts DC after going through the 5 amp bridge rectifier. I also have one each per side 4700MFD 63 volt Electrolytic Cap and one 2.2MFD 60volt Poly Cap per side..
    Is this power supply setup too much for the circuit to handle or do I need to by a 25-0-25 transformer to keep from over loading the circuit?
    A 25-0-25 transformer that delivers 5 amps per side is extremely expensive..
    I could build my own transformer but getting the E I type silicon Iron sheets is impossible since I live in America. America doesn’t make anything or have anything to make a transformer except magnet wire only.
    Thanks

    • Harry Cat

      I got it to work myself. I rewound the secondary on the transformer twice. Once at 25-0-25 which didn’t work very good and then again at 34-0-34 which worked fantastic. The only problem that I’m having is, is with the preamp stage where the audio is being distorted. But neither the less, I have it working and it doesn’t sound to bad. I have it posted on my Facebook page. I had to tweak the hell out of the crossover to make it sound halfway descent.

      • Harry Cat

        I think that problem with the preamp stage is, is the C2 polarity is wrong. I noticed when I have the volume way down, it sounds perfect but when I crack up the volume it becomes distorted. It would be nice for someone to let me know something.

  84. Hi Sir,
    This one has no Filter circuit. Right.? So if we connect this to any input other than SUBWOOFER OUT PUT of a Hi FI set up we should have a filter circuit connected to this first. Right sir.?
    Forgive my Ignorance. How do I determine the BCE pins of Transistors. I know how to figure out BCE of C828 and D400 transistors but is it the same for these Transistors too.?. All Transistors have the BCE pins in the same way or are they different depending on PNP or NPN. Please explain..Sir..

    • Seetharaman

      Hi Janaka if you have a subwoofer output from your dvd player, can be connected directly to this amplifier. If you have only stereo information(left and right channel information) then you have connect through a sub woofer filter bothe channel information to make it as 2.1 information. 2 is left and right .1 is subwoofer signal.
      Transistor lead configuration will differ for each manufacturer, hence you have to consult their catalog.

  101. hiii can u plzz tell me whats d difference between a subwoofer amplifier and a normal 150 WATT amplifier…..
    can anyone plzz explain….
    plzz hlp..me i m making d 150 WATT amplifier

    • Sub woofer is a Mono Amp giving only the Bass ( Mostly) to a one Speaker. A Normal Stereo Amp is giving both Bass and treble to two Speakers. In a Sub woofer A Filter circuit also used to filter the sound so Treble can be minimized giving only the Bass. but again in a Normal Stereo Amplifier Filtering is not required. It gives both Bass and Treble equally.

  107. SEETHARAMAN sir tank u for this circuit…..
    sir can u please mail me the pcb layout of this circuit….

    SEETHARAMAN Sir,AS A FEED BACK,CAN YOU ATTACH THE PCB LAYOUT OF THIS CIRCUIT.BECAUSE EVERY ONE HAS DIFFICULTY TO FIND THE PROPER PCB LAYOUT OF THIS CIRCUT.IF YOU DO THIS,IT WILL BE A VERY HELP FULL FOR PEOPLE LIKE US

    • HI YED KRIZ,don’t take tension about the pcb.i will make for you on 7th oct. on sunday.i will make it without power supply capactor and diodes.i want to help you all new people in electronics. seetharaman sir is great and they are doing a nice job for us.thank you n love u all

  108. Hi… plz provide the transformer specification and as well as recommended power supply circuit to the amplifier.

      Hi Pramod you cannot, as 36-0-36 AC at transformer secondary will produce a DC of +51 – 0 – -51 volts. it will blow all the components. The maximum allowable transformer secondary rating is 25-0-25 volt RMS AC @3Amps, will develop around +36 -0- -36 volts DC best suited for this amplifier.

    • hi everyone,transformer for this circuit is 26-0-26 ac.it gives 40-0-40 dc.for example ac i volt when we convert it to dc it become 1.4142volt dc.

      • hello dude…….frm ac to dc. dc is decreased……or say less valued then ac…..

  109. sir please replay me fast sir i am waiting for u replay

  110. sir i have center transformer which has teo outputs the outputs goes lie this 24-0-24 12-0 5amps can i use this transformer in this circuit bcoz 24+12=36v

  118. Any one can sent me the pcb design plz?
    This is my email.:Sures1997@gmail.com

  119. sir this subwoffer gives only subwoofer effect what abt left and right speaker how to connect it in this circuit

    • Seetharaman

      Hi Sairam Sub woofer is the the one which reproduces below 140Hz. This cannot be heard but can be felt by body hence no directivity. One amplifier with suitable low pass filter getting the signal from both left and right channel information with a sub woofer box will take care of it. For left and right speakers you require a stereo amplifier to amplify left and right signal seperately and reproduce, which will give you the directivity.

  120. Prudencio G. Peritos Jr.

    sir
    can i used 24v-0-24v 6A for this circuit?

  121. Prudencio G. Peritos Jr.

  124. hi dear seetharaman sir , this amp is good and its still working without any probelm. miss you and love you. you are one of the favorite person in my list.

  125. sir,
    Can u send me a circuit for 60w subwoofer circut

  126. ishan1211

    Sir,
    I made this circuit but power both transistor 3773 heatup withing few seconds, speaker is humming without a signal, voltage between speaker about 10V. sir what would be the solutions?

  127. ishan1211

    Sir,
    My transformer provide 35v, 0v, 35v. so how can i create +35v , -35v ?

  128. sebin jacob

    Seetharaman sir,

    I am using this amplifier for the last one year.It is working fine and i am satisfied.You helped and guided me a lot during this project.Hope you r doing good.Always remembering your help.

    SEBIN JACOB

  129. hellow sir
    i want to made a simple circuit with woffer and spekar so how..??? give me daigram pls….. its my project nd by net i get a circuit but its very complicated so…..

  130. hello sir please tell me how can I add a bass and volume controller to this circuit?????

  131. thanks a lot sir now I had made the changes and my circuit is working perfectly……
    thanks again for your support and feedback.

  132. Seetharaman

    Hi Pankaj you have to use 2N5294 only. since 2N5296 VCEO is only 40 volts. With DC + – 28 volts the circuit should work but will give you lesser wattage. With 18 volt transformer you will get only + – 25volts. try to use recomended components or else the circuit may not give satisfactory results. The component values are calculated for a particular supply voltage a deviation of a maximum of 10% only allowed.

  133. sir please help me my circuit is not working….

  134. kanagaraj.s BE

    sir i want 24v single supply power amplifier circuit(nearly 30v) equivalent
    to stk 4392 plz send me

  135. thanks a lot sir but in my location there is no such person.
    is it possible that it is due to my power supply because Iam using +/-28 volt power supply?????
    In the power supply Iam using 18-0-18 volt 5 amp transformer.
    and sir Iam not able to find 2N5294 so Iam using 2N5296 is it possible that the problem is due to that transistor??????

  136. Seetharaman

    Hi Pankaj check all your wirings transistor pins and diode polarities value of resistances capacitor polarities etc. Still if you are not in a position to fix the problem and if you are new to building of high power audio projects, please approach any knowledgeable electronic hardware engineer nearer to you, by physically viewing and analysing your assembly.

  137. Sir My circuit is not properly.Iam using a +/-28 volt 5A power supply.But my speaker is only humming doesnt produce any sound and the transformer starts burning after few seconds.Please suggest me appropriate solution…..

  138. SYED OMAR MASOOD

    Thanks

  140. hai sir, my hobby is electronics all my knowledge came from my own interest and patience i didnt go to school. im studying electronics on my own. and its hard. so please help me sir.
    may i ask you the formula of this amplifier and i will study it and give tips in designing audio amplifier.. thank you sir and God bless u all my fren… this is my email: http://www.jeoceltangdol@yahoo.com

  141. seetharaman

    Hi Srinivasan you can connect it only through bass boost amplifier low pass filter is not required.

  142. P.Srinivasan

    Hi seetharaman sir , i am using our low-pass-filter-for-sub woofer before this circuit ( for direct audio out ). can i add base booster pre amplifier with lowpass filter ,
    if i can , where i can connect low pass filter input or output stage ?

  143. bal wolley

    I am building an infrasound device to be used in a spook house for a chairity fund raiser and need to build an amplifier that will not filter out the signals below 22hz. How do I configure this amplifier circuit to do this?

  144. seetharaman

    Hi Srinivasan The recorded MP3 CDs are compressed ones they will produce only a flat response(but for the few genuine good quality recording). You can add a bass boost pre amplifier before feeding it to this amp. In the net you get plenty of such bass booster schematics use on of them.

  145. P.Srinivasan

    Hi seetharaman sir, when i using orginal dvd or audio cd , i am getting good base effect form this amplifier , but when i using mp3 cd’s i could not get same effect even half also , what is the reason ??? what can i do for that ?

  146. Hello sir,i want a tone controll seprator circuit that allows low freequency into this power amp’s input filter and other tones are seprate for other audio amp.please help me sir,
    my mail id is sujeejackson@gmail.com

  147. seetharaman

    Hi Srinivas the relation for the output power is square of the voltage swing available across the speaker leads divided by the impedance of the speaker.
    The budget cost including power supply, with standard trasformer, good heat sink, PCB and with good quality low noise components will be around INR1200/-

  148. P.Srinivasan

    Dear seetharaman sir,

    if input voltage is decrease below 30-0-30 then out put RMS power will decrease ????

  149. sir,i too think so..but i use a cooling fan also with it…does it can compansate it…??

  150. Seetharaman

    Hi Ajith it should not become too hot it looks like your heat sink is insufficient, try using a bigger extruded alloy heat sink.

  151. sir.,now my amp works fine..but .when it works for almost half an hour ,the 3773 s get hot as much as ,cant to touch it…
    Is it a problem or its usual??pls help me. .sir.,

  152. hi to everyone, i want to tell you that for good quality sound and high bass 2n 3773 is responsible. it made by many company like bel,toshiba,motorolla,china and local in delhi. you will get bad low quality in local and china made transistor of cost of 5 Rs. rest are cost of estimatly 50 Rs. so purchase right one for circuit.

  153. ishan1211

    Sir,
    I have bought every equipment’s in this circuit. my next challenge is design PCB diagram. it’s not very easy for me. if you can send me PCB diagram. Thanks

  154. P.Srinivasan

    Dear Mr. seetharaman , can u please give me two channel switching circuit using audio signal detection that means one line normal condition , if 2nd channel audio signal detected 2 channel to be active and first channel to be disconnected.

  155. sir i want to make a subwoofer for computer please send send me a circuit of 150watt which is not so costly

  156. hi to everyone, i love this website and dear mr. seetharaman. this is not only a place where we make these projects and discuss. how we love each, to each other and respect. i am very empressed by you all and specially mr seetharaman. now i will give you, all my experience.May God bless you all.best wishes for holi.

  157. friends…i have a stereo amplifier..i would like to set a sub woofer to that amp..i got a sub board and i connected it…but the beat is very low..may i give the output of sub board to stk 4141 board and amplify it…my power supply is 12 0 12 3A transformer…is it enough..or any other reasons????

  158. i have two speakers (max 70 watt, 6ohm)both
    i need a sub woofer amplifier design
    suggest me a design that produce heart pumping sound my mail is
    ((( alamisdecent@gmail.com )))

  159. Seetharaman

    Hi Alam Both are very important. a good amplifier with lousy speaker or a distorted low power amplifier with very good speaker is of no use. A rigid sealed enclosure is a must. the speaker can be little less rated than the amplifier for the best performance. A 100 watts @ <1% distortion amplifier with say 80watts 12" speaker or 40watts 2 nos 8" speakers in rigid sealed enclosure can give high quality thumping bass.

  160. thanks seetharam sir…i got ur mail.
    Sir.have a ups transformer with rating 6-0-6 />20amps[500va].can i use this transformer to obtain 25-0-25 /5A.,.

  161. yes, ajay my brother i am here to help you. i want to chat with you . i quicky solve your probelm . my no. is 9855427506. it is difficult to solve this by comments

  162. can any one tell me that who is responsible for the high bass effect
    1 amplifier or
    2 speakers

  163. hey rohin
    can u help me with the circuit I have almost built it twice but still its not working.I have checked the transistor they are connected in right way .I have used c3 6.8uF 63v instead 0f 10uF and transistors bc547 instead of bc108. is it because of the bc547??? all my capacitors are rated above 100v except c3.

  164. Seetharaman

    Ajith send your email id i will give ou a detailed checklist

  165. sir..i made this circuit..but its does not give any outputs..
    When i connected to supply both 3773 get heats up within seconds..how can i test the circuit…..sir,what may be the problem?pls help me…i made this circuit for my mini project at my clg…..

  166. Seetharaman

    HI SRINIVAS HE IS CORRECT THE SAME I HAVE MENTIONED MUCH EARLIER ALSO.

  167. P.Srinivasan

    Dear Mr. seetharaman , as on rohin comment C2 polarity is wrongly connected
    , its true ??

  168. TO making this circuit, you should know about the E C B of every transistor.if you conected it wrong then circuit will not work at all.2n 6107 and 2n 5294 , keep them front of your eyes( black side of the transistor , where is no. showing) left pin is base , middel pin is collector and the third pin is emitter.In 2n 3773 , keep it pin sides in front of your eyes and you will find that pins are much closer to one hole than comparesion to other hole , keep that hole to left which is much closer to pins and then upper pin is emitter and below pin is base and case is collector. you can use 5296 or 5294 or 2073.you can use bc108 or bc 109.check proper wiring it should be same as diagram showing.if everthing is ok. you should check your all transistor . you can check bc108 by multimeter hfe ports and its C B E too. for npn transistor, put postive on base and negetive to emitter, it showing 600or 700 ohm resistance like diode and negetive to collector it showing same as emitter but when negetive on base resistance should be high for both emiiter and collector. and to check pnp , it same like the npn only difference of postive and negetive leads

  169. hi to everyone, i want to tell you all that amplifier works fine and this circuit is high bass than 5.1 home theater. i already built it with the help of dear mr. seetharaman. he is a great person.there is one mistake in this circuit that c2 polarty is wrong conected. so kindly change it . otherwise there is everything allright. while making this circuit i face some probelm and i want to share it with you all.

  170. seetharaman

    Hi Ajith a subwoofer amplifier is an amplifier with a good low frequency response and with a power of not less than 40Watts RMS at less than 1% THD & with good transient response.

  171. hey
    can anyone help me with this circuit please…. i have built this circuit but its not working .all my capacitors are rated above 100v except c3 which is 63v.used 2n5296 instead of 2n5294. c1 is 0.47mfd instead of 0.22mfd tested it with a 24-0-24 supply.Rest all are same components. what should I check in the circuit..

    Hi srinivasan if output voltage is positive with respect to common zero reduce either R11 or 12 to next lower preferred value. if negative increase it to next higher preferred value

  176. P.Srinivasan

    how to adjust the R11 or 12 value , value to be increase or decrease

  177. regor wall

    gud day sir seetharaman ..! i want to build your featured subwoofer amp..can i ask for the pcb layout of this amplifier..pls email me..Wall.regor@yahoo.com.

    thanks in advance sir.. your reply is highly appreciated..

  178. seetharaman

    Hi Srinivasan check the DC voltage across speaker. It should be zero. if not one may draw more current than the other. you may adjust the value of R11 or 12 till it becomes minimum, the problem is due to mismatch in the components.

  179. P.Srinivasan

    hi seetharaman sir this amplifier working fine , but output one transistor heating more than other transistor . i am using 30-0-30 v Dc 5A
