also - can someone tell me a thing or two about my Diamond Audio D1000.1's efficiency?

thanks

This is the most efficient amp I'm aware of.

if you wanted to change up your amp why not go with an saz1000 you won't get much higher in efficiency than that anyways

I'd say Mmats. Expensive but worth it I've heard. And that Diamond Audio 1000.1 is a good amp also.

Efficiency has always seemed to be a pretty gray area to me.

I think most companies that bother actually measuring efficiency are going to specify the best number the amp could achieve.

That's probably not full power, minimum impedance.

It always seemed to be a silly thing to worry about to me.

If you buy a quality amp of a particular class - in most cases it's going to give you reasonable efficiency.

And any other comparable amp - while i would expect efficiency would vary - shouldn't differ by much. To be concerned with a few amps one way or the other isn't going to make or break the system.

cadence a7hc is insanely efficient or mmats //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

both would be much better in efficiency vs the diamond.

or running a amp at 4 ohm is much more efficient than any 1 ohm amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif 1200x1

Isn't that A/B? Not to efficient if it is

JBL - GTO14001 - Amplificador Mono 1500 Watts, Classe D com crossover eletrônico variável e circuito DBO (Dynamic Bass Optimization) integrados.

class d really effecient at 4 ohm vs any 1 ohm amp by basic electrical law.
