[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8719503, member: 650438"] because they are banking on newbies discovering car audio while reading outdated information and myths to overcharge for less power. You should ask why the sound quality audio legends like zed, hybrid audio, helix, mosconi, audison, focal, hertz and even the mainstream brands are all slowly transitioning to include class D in their lineups and continually improve each generation when before they would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. Times are changing and people are recognizing their predispositions based on old technology and stereotypical myths are hurting their sales. This is scott bulwada owner of hybrid audio technologies, last year 2019 he achieved a record breaking the highest score ever on sound quality and before than he's been either winning or top 3 for decades. He had a car ALL class D amps that won the year he had this build back almost a decade ago. Again, its the Indian not the arrow. Proper SQ can be achieved with most amps if you have the headroom. You can make a class D sound like a Class A/B(which is coloured to hell and not a natural flat signal in most cases which gives the illusion of a different sound out the box its just heavily EQ'd while class D is neutral) through a proper tune.
