No worries...I don't have the box to fry! I'm just trying to understand this whole thing...the 4x1446 was just an example...

Just trying to understand how a transistor can have a 7 watt rated input, but yet they tend to get driven with much more in actual use. For example, a 1x4 box has a 1446 driving four more 1446s...am I crazy or does that mean the four pills are getting driven by 70/4=17.5 watts each, which is 2.5 times the rated input?

And then you get into the 1x2 and 2x4 boxes that seem like they would be driven extremely hard...

Again, just trying to understand...
