Well, a pure Class B or C amp is going to have problems that negatively affect SQ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I can't really say I've heard a Class D amp used for subbass that was a problem, I've heard an AudioSource full-range Tripath amp that just didn't sit right with me, though...

I'll stick to Class A2 for critical listening //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Maybe I should have specified car amplification. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have yet to hear a tripath I have liked either but that isnt to say it doesnt exist.

Technically it's about the SQ of class d amps

Or Lack There-of....

A Pyramid Amp Works too.... But deficiencies should ALWAYS be blamed on the subs and box.

I would like to take the time to let you guys know that not all of us from Louisiana are this hard-headed and ignorant, as the OP is.

Thank you.

I know the OP quite well and I assure you 90% of the pudknockers on here "Don't get it."

and I KNOW he could build a $500 system that sounds MUCH better than the builds I have seen on here. Period. Ya'all think pounding bass is where it is at. :rolleyes

Why did you let the cat out of the bag on my future "SQ on a Budget" build? It will consist of a pair of el cheapo Dayton subs each sealed in .75 cubic feet off of 200 watts RMS AND the subs will play flat from 20 to 100 Hz That is all I am saying because their is some ultra secret, alien, voodoo technology that will make $60 worth of subwoofers play flat from 20 to 100 Hz off of 200 watts RMS in .75 cubic feet sealed per 10

[gunz4me 10+ year member]

OH NO he didnt.

OH yes I did.... Need I remind you that when I was in elementary school, I was scoring college level reading and math scores on the various national exams.... Let's play!

I am hard headed though, I will admit to that.

that is freakin HILARIOUS... we are "discussing" Sound Quality-- and this **** from the guy that is running with:
Alpine 6x9 3-ways

Pioneer 6x8 3-ways (rear)

JVC CH-X1500 12-disc MP3 Changer

Alpine Type X 12" 2 cubes @ 30hz

MTX 404 run's the inside

MTX 1501d run's the X

2x Optima G31 YT in the trunk

Exide Orbital G34 under the hood

200a EA HO Alt (1/0 Big 3)

Other than the Pioneer 3-ways, I don't see an issue here.

I was actually stating a fact... It is not polite to brag...

Bragging would be saying that I scored a 96 on the ASVAB in high school and had every branch of the military trying to recruit me. Oh, I didn't get any extra points because of my race either....

You really should be more humble. There will always be someone smarter than you.

And that is fact.

you can do that

just wont be loud at all,.

OK, let me take this thread back in the original direction....

This all started because I was thinking about getting a Hifonics XXV-COLOSSUS to give a pair of dd1508s 600 watts each @ 4 ohms. If I ever decide to jump into full SPL mode, I figure I could always keep this amp and expand on it further. That is where all the trash talking began when I inquired locally.

The Memphis dealer said Hifonics is junk and to get a Memphis amp. Sorry, I have already been burned on Memphis because I already had a Memphis PR amp and it died several times under warranty. I had ordered a Mojo and another M class amp online, and both of them arrived DOA resulting in me having to file UPS claims. Guess what the root of the problem was with all of them? Transistors snapped off the circuit board due to lack of support on ALL of them!

Next I talked to my buddy who works for a local shop and he took it upon himself to show me that Hifonics was junk by showing and playing the cheapest amp in the line.... I would like to think that the Colossus line is better than the entry level Brutus line. Sorry to offend anyone, but I really didn't have high expectations for the Brutus to begin with and now I really think less of the Brutus line.

So basically, I am stuck with either continuing my quest for a decent SQ Class D amp, purchasing another 25 to Life Punch 150 to power my pair of 1508s (one on each), purchasing another huge Linear Power and getting it modded (which is proving to be more difficult with every passing month), OR purchasing a Digital Designs class A/B amp!
