[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1273111, member: 560358"] Receivers have more 'stuff' inside the chassis that takes away real estate from the internal amplifier 'section', so for the same chassis size, an external amplifier has the potential to have more room for 'guts' to make the amplifier more robust. It all comes down to how the product is engineered. Some brands of receivers actually make discrete amplifier design instead of placing 'chipamps' like those found in HU's. The chipamp product is usually the low end brands. Even the discrete designs aren't 'over-engineered' like an external amplifier can be due to the space restriction. Because you have a real estate issue, that doesn't mean you can't engineer a solution to the problem.
