I use the 2SD1881 to replace the 2sc4927. They run cooler, are more stable and more reliable. I have had more recalls with $10 Sony replacements than with $2.00 generics. No heat sink is needed IMO if there are not other problems with the circuit. I can provide my customers with a better value and make more profit by using a replacement in this case, so that's what we do. I recommend caution when deciding to use subs, however, and recommend comparing in circuit performance carefully to the original.
