[QUOTE="bass_lover1, post: 3095605, member: 555256"] Generally a Class D amp will be more efficient when we're talking about high power levels. Now, I'm not one to say that either is better, but there is a reason that I'm using a class A/B amp for subwoofer duty. One, the 2.2HV can easily produce 1kw+ rms, similar to many high power class D amps of today. Two, LP was on to something when they designed their amps to use a high output voltage to create power, it's far more efficient to do it this way, though a bit pricier in this case. Three, it's a Linear Power that should pretty much cover it [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
