Learn to help the OP by answering their question, or take your ignorant comment elsewhere. To the OP, class A is more of your common 2 channel amps with low distortion. Class D's are the heavy hittin powerhouses. They run on 1 channel only. They are great, but have a lot more distortion than the class A-A/B amps.

For the most part, class D's are for subs, and everything else is for speakers.

Class D's are usually 1 channel.

Unless someone has proven it, class D doesn't have anymore audible noise than any other class of amps. They are also in full-range amplifiers (Alpine PDX amps, Eclipse XA, etc).

I didn't see the link in the post and neither did the OP probably either. Anyway it doesn't help by telling someone to use the search feature, answer the question or don't post. You don't have to be a dick.

And if you keep spoon feeding the noobs when they ask the same question every day, rather than giving them at least a little bit of crap, they never learn and we keep getting the same questions every day.

Your answer was wrong anyway, so which is better, telling him to search so he learns something and then also helping him out or giving him wrong info?

Why give a man a fish every day to eat when you can just as easily teach him to fish?

Or more fun, smack him with the first fish you give him so he doesn't ask again.

Thats what happens when you jump to conclusions, why does it not help someone to use the search feature? Whats the point of having it there? Think about it please. Oh yeah and give correct information or dont post.
