[QUOTE="Bumpin' Yota, post: 8841215, member: 547455"] Yes and no. Full bridge does not refer to Brazilian per say. JL, rockford, alpine, and many other amp manufacturers have been successfully running full bridge topologies for decades. The reason for the instability found in some (not all, see banda viking) Brazilian offerings is due to the fact that they are running their components at the limit. Being that close to the limit means that discrepancies in input voltage and other items cause the failure. A full bridge amp actually runs at HALF the voltage of an equivalently rated Korean. A full bridge amp also does not suffer from bus pumping like a half bridge design does. Taramps smart 5 will literally destroy a regular 5k korean on power output. Heck the smart3 likely will too. Lastly making power requires power, both require upgrades to the vehicles electrical system. [/QUOTE]
