[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8285436, member: 660781"] The answer to both of your questions is "no," though I'm not looking for 2400W. I didn't really know much when I got that amp, I just bought it because the price was pretty good. I also turned the gain way down, so it was okay on my electrical. So going from higher powered class a/b amp to a lower powered class D amp is absolutely noticeable, though in theory, this should be enough. I'm not sure whether the lacking is due to insufficient power or due to it being class D. Maybe I was too quick to say I'm set on class A/B, but I know it worked for me in the past. I think power not only adds loudness/output, but musicality - adding 300W of power to a sub may hardly be noticeable in output, but I think it is noticeable in woofer's ability to be responsive.
