So a A/B would draw more power from your battery and more strain on your alternator than a D? Are D amps only made to produce low frequency?

Yes most of the time a class a/b will draw more current than a class d for the same power.

There are full range class d's and tri-path which is similar in efficiency to a class d plus im sure a few others that I cant come up with at the moment.

hmm, i was so sure i read somewhere calss D draw the most current. i guess im wrong.

They most likely draw the most overall current since there are few if any 4000 watt class a/b amps.

But watt for watt a class d will usually draw less current than an a/b.

Question what type of amplifier would be most efficient in powering two 4-ohm dual voice coil subs, mono or four channel?

wow this thing really works //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/search.gif.e79a63b2b580b39b282dff402646b704.gif
