What sort of carrier would one see with 100 watts drive into a 16/2sc2879 class-c amp?
depends on the sniffer cap installed and whether or not that's enough drive to turn on that many transistors.
drive for a 2879 has always been 10w PEP max.
Or 5 to 6watts dead key if you want some reasonable forward swing.
But as you drive more pills, you have slightly larger splitter loss.
So it might be reasonable to drive a 12 pill with 10% more per pill than you would an 8pill.
But anyone thinking of driving this with four pill is ready for the rubber room.

A 1x4 is the recommeded driver but I think a 1x2 would be a good driver too..... a 2x4 would be too touchy. Something tells me you are way over your head with a 16 pill being you aren't sure what to drive it with. Your setup has to be perfect or you will lose $30 2879s as normal.

You aren't too knowledgeable about 16 transistor class C amps, but a lot of people aren't. A 4 pill Texas Star 500 would be the perfect driver for a ride around setup.
