[QUOTE="GstRdr1, post: 2745, member: 540997"] There isn't really a "best" class of amp it just depends on what you are doing with that amp. I can't remember all of the technical terms but basically Class D amps are better at producing a lot of power efficiently but its a "dirtier' power (not meaning bad, they can produce a bit more noise but they are good for subs because of their high power capabilities. Class A amps are very inefficient but output very "clean" power. And Class B's more efficient than A but less that D. Most decent amps today are either D or an AB class (putting the clean A power with the extra efficiency of B). It's all a little confusing, just go with a quality brand...Phoenix Gold, Soundstream, JL, PPI, etc. and you will be fine. [/QUOTE]
