efficiency of 4 channels vs dual 2 channels?

[Lil Poot 5,000+ posts]

right now i'm running more amp than i really need on my front stage, although i do have a lot of headroom. i have a 200x2 @ 4 ohm amp on my mids (which are 8 ohm) and 2 channels of a 50x4 on my tweets.

if i stayed class a/b, would i see better efficiency running a 4 channel? i've been looking hard at a zuki eleets, but i'm thinking of holding out for a class h amp.

i know h will still own a/b, what i want to know is will i see noticeable difference in current draw going to a ~150x4 @ 4 ohm a/b amp?

i want to free up more current for my memphis, but i'll just go straight to class h if its going to draw similar current to my 2 zed amps.

i think that your better off having a bit more headroom and or watts than you need, as opposed to buying a smaller mid and high amp for less current draw

possibly just add a extra battery and power run

i have 3 runs front to rear of 1/0 gauge for each terminal, a 34 series yellow top up front and 3 134ah c&d batteries, with a 240a iraggi alt. big 3 in dual 1/0.

i think the charging system is covered //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

the zukis are known to do upwards of 180x4 @ 4 ohms, so i should still have decent headroom.
