Diff bewteen A/B and class D amps.

Fegs like the A/B //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Class D will be as clean in sound if run at a higher impedance such as 4 ohms and if you use a high quality class D amp. Some class D amps do not sound as good on subs as others. This is why I will never run any subs at a 1 ohm load.

 
The higher the ohm load on class D amps the lower the dampening factor. These days with technology being the way it is on amps, dampening factor doesn't make much of a difference. This applies to the higher quality class D amps.

 
heyyyyyyyyyyyyy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

It's actually the opposite IIRC. Higher ohm load = higher DF, and DF get cuts in half with the halving of the ohm load. Basically high DF = good and low DF = bad, but when it actually makes a difference is anyone's guess and generally left to personal opinions and preferences.

Just wondering, since you said that DF doesn't matter yet you won't run a sub amp at 1ohm, what is the reason why you won't run it at the lower ohm loads? I ask because most people blame the low DF for bad transient response.

 
ha its cool thats all I run though. and all at 4 ohms. I don't really like it any other way. I have a 2800 watt Visonik v800hc getting upgraded right now for SQ and reliability. and my mids and highs will be through a new crescendo 1000c4 and ppi sedona and pc amps.
