The maximum power dissipated by both output transistors is

\operatorname{maximum} P_{2 Q}=\frac{2 V_{C C}^{2}}{\pi^{2} R_{L}}=\frac{2(25 \mathrm{~V})^{2}}{\pi^{2} 4 \Omega}=31.66 \mathrm{~W}

This maximum dissipation occurs at

V_{L}=0.636 V_{L}( p )=0.636(25 V )= 1 5 . 9 V

(Notice that at V_{L}=15.9 V the circuit required the output transistors to dissipate 31.66 W, whereas at V_{L}=25 V they only had to dissipate 21.3 W.)
