[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8877356, member: 654802"] Even though efficiency drops and heat rises at a lower Ohm load, Class D allows you to get more power out of a smaller footprint. Many have overcome this by using a more powerful amplifier and running it at 4 Ohms. The thing is that you now have a way bigger amplifier thus limiting mounting options. Now with "full bridge" technology, the footprint gets even smaller. The issue with that tech is that your charging system has to be up to par or your full bridge amp has a high possibility of croaking. I think that issue has been improved because the negative reviews have dropped. Now here is the main thing to consider in regards to lower efficiency; music is dynamic. What that means is that you will not always have a heavy load on the charging system because the bass is not constantly playing or of the same intensity throughout the track. Therefore that is the reason most people use 1 Ohm stable amplifiers. [/QUOTE]
