[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8755351, member: 591582"] Man, $400 for 3500 watts? 3500 watts should be $700-800 or so, for the quality of amp I'd want. These new full bridge amps just aren't going to do music like more traditional amps. I really should research the terminologies better so that I could explain this more specifically. I just don't know the technical terms, but it all has to do with the way the electricity flows in between parts, and the inherent design of these full bridge amps that are relatively pretty dang cheap for their output. You are going to get what you pay for. I have sensitive ears, this is actually scientifically proven with hearing tests (multiple ones). I can hear the difference between good and crappy amps, depends on the quality of other parts of the systems. I've tested crappy amps vs good amps, and it totally makes a difference. If I buy a salt amp vs your full bridge, I can say, with a certain amount of certainty, that I will be able to play lower than you, if I copied your entire system, except for the amp. That's how much of a difference this makes. Amplifiers aren't just for signal boosting; they contain many electrical based quality control items inside, and those items help clean the signal up to the sub and help mechanically control the sub (through proper impedance spike handling).
