Class AB 30W Amplifier Circuit

I was planning to create a 30w amplifier circuit for my project. 2 days of searching and stumbling around the net, then finally I found a site that answers all my questions and doubt about my project.  My amplifier circuit is a class AB 30w circuit amplifier.


Below is the instruction on how to set up the class AB amplifier circuit for 30 watts.

To set the above amplifier up, set R1 to max and R12 to 0. After doing this successfully, power on the amplifier. Set R1 so that the measured output offset is between 30 and 100mV. Once set, adjust R12 slowly to achieve a quiescent current of around 120mA. Keep checking the quiescent current as the amp heats up as it might change due to voltage drop changes in the output devices caused by heat. The heatsinks should be 0.6K/W or less for two amplifiers.
