Hi Guys,
I have been out of car audio around 2000 or so when all the major companies started suffering. I liked the old Sound Stream, Phoenix Gold, Rockford and other stuff from the hayday in the 90's.
Since then it looks like a lot has changed in the subwoofer amp world!
My main questions are: Does Class D have the same headroom or sonic space sound like a A/B amp does? Besides SPL, can these amps produce good SQ for music like rock and metal? Not looking for audiophile quality, just not a fart box/burping amp!
My wife listens to Rap and Pop and I listen to rock/metal so I need to build a system that can perform with both. I'm using (2) PG Titanium 12"s, 500-watts RMS single 4-ohm voice coils.Have not built the box until I purchase the amp.
I am very limited on amperage unless I go to a 2nd alternator and special bracket,. Currently have only 75A to work with, with a spare 105mah marine battery (850 CCA) tied into my stock battery with an isolator.
I called the nearest car audio store (52 miles from my house //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif) and they don't have any class d amps in stock for me to audition.....so I'm relying on you guys!
I have read article after article and tried to find reviews but I keep finding the typical teenager or young 20's going "this will bang the S out of yo subs!" or whatever.... I'm looking for people who actually know what sound quality is supposed to sound like. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suicide.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif
Thanks for any help!
