[QUOTE="06stxf150, post: 2679784, member: 573060"] Well most of what you said seems to be true anyway.As far as ohms go,Yes!It would be more efficient to get an amp that does its rated power @4 ohms rather then 1 ohm because as the impedance drops the characteristics of the amp change as you get closer to a direct short.At the same time you will have 900 watts either way which turns into current draw=Amps.No matter what you do it will affect your cars charging system. What really matters is how efficient your amp is at reproducing the signal.That is were Class D comes in.Class D my have alittle more THD but it will take less from your cars charging system make it happen. So A/B = about 40-60% efficient and Class D= about 60-90%...Someone else care to put some funk on it......... [/QUOTE]
