I need bidirectional control anyway so with respect to the die heating/same package issue I could put one amp of each "channel" on alternate chips, spin one way and the lower output BJTs of chip 1, amp 1 and chip 2, amp 1 are switched fully on and saturated, while the upper output transistors of chip 1, amp 2 and chip 2, amp 2 are acting the power-burning emitter followers, and spin the other way vice versa
