[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 4829376, member: 540940"] because at low power they operate more like a class A amp which basically means more current flows through the output transistors whether there is signal being amplified or not. At high power they operate primarily as class B which is more efficient. Efficiency in any setting is -- Power out/Power in x 100 It just tells you what % of the power drawn from the car's electrical system is converted into music power at the speaker terminals. Yes Actually, the JL slash amps aren't very efficient as class D's go, but it would be better than the typical a/b because of the efficiency differences at low power If you have a smaller electrical system efficient amps are never a bad idea, especially at 1000w+. because music doesn't at all resemble a constant current demand. It is highly dynamic. The amp may AVERAGE only 25A over the course of a song, but there will be moments where it needs 100A or more.
