why does it need to be class ab? Class d is great for subs.

image dynamics recommend class ab over class d in term of sound quality which i am looking for.

DB Drive SP1000 it does 500 at 2-ohm and 1000 at 1-ohm, you can get one on ebay for about 200

Just get a class D. Much more abundant and easier to find.....might even be a little bit cheaper, too.

You won't hear a difference in the "class" of the amplifier.
