[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8544791, member: 650438"] Class d or class a/b will sound equally as bad when you buy cheap. However a mediocre class D and a mediocre class a/b, the ab will produce cleaner undistorted power at when the amp is maxed and stressed out. However quality class D and class AB will sound basically the same but class D will have way more headroom and waaay more power and efficiency. Most of all the SQ guys are switching over to quality class Ds, too much power on the table for them to leave out. Zed audio has his own line which is his flagship line called Leviathan series of amps which is pure class D. So even the great Zed is a convert just to let you see how much things have changed. For your budget, repair the amp. 200 gonna get you mediocre class D s aka ppi phantom and im sure your zed amp will make power a lot cleaner. Id stick with stinger expert roadkill if you want a nice performing budget deadener of high quality. Skip the foam idea and look at mass loaded vinyl. Does 100x better job at eliminating road noise than foam and deadener combined. You can get 3000 watts in an amp smaller than your ESX Q1204 nowadays with fullbridge technology. [/QUOTE]
