[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8798721, member: 591582"] And voltages spike and dips are going to be much worse with a sub with a monster magnet and 3000w and 50mm xmax trying to play 20 hz and then up to 50 hz, for example, vs a door speaker. When you have a half-bridge amp, your electrical system seems to add to the damping, depending on overall capacity and rate of charge. Full bridge and half bridge amps work differently, especially with the power supplies, and you can see that in the damping factor, based off how exactly those power supplies differ, from all of my experience. Half bridge amps seem to be able to control the woofers better with their power supply design, if you have good electrical, because they can pulse both polarities back into your 12v system. We aren’t talking about simply speakers but subwoofers, and subwoofers have a much different dynamic with their higher x-max and these crazy power levels with these crazy motors that can cause massive spikes during an unloading situation. Like I said, it’s what I look for, because I think it’s a hidden quality factor SPECIFICALLY with sub amps. Check out the damping factor with those **** full bridge Chinese amps you hate, if they even list it. [/QUOTE]
