No idea how you would run the batteries parallel in a tube. Still 1A is a lot of current for an un-heatsinked 317. Plus i was planning on buying a preset driver, because I cannot afford to blow a diode. Ugh, looks like a beast may be a no-go...
Who ever said the 317 wouldn't be heatsinked? The beast will have plenty of surface area inside to heatsink a driver.
Also, running batteries in parallel in a tube is fairly easy. It takes a couple pieces of rubber and two wires.
Whats so hard about setting the current on a driver? Its pretty impossible to mess up, especially with a 445.
