[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8911573, member: 689267"] People really need to get out of the habit of refering to full-bridge amps as "Brazilian", full bridge is no more a Brazilian topolgy than class "D" from everywhere else is or isn't a Korean half bridge, it was just popularized by Brazillian manufacturers. Even the earlier models that didn't handle votage fluctuations had issues more to do with poor installations and poor eletrical support than the designs were bad. JL, RF, DD Audio, Doen4Sound, Orioin, SoundQubed, and other companies make full-bridge boards AND RF, JL have been doing it for longer than Taramps, PRV, Bravo, or Banda! One topology is not better than the other. PowerUS, Soundigital GanFET, examples of full-bridge desings that are every bit as good and robust as their Korean board counterparts. There are far more cheap, poor quality half bridge designs out there than poor quality full bridge designs. It simply comes down to the design of either topology and what your willing to pay for it. Simple truth is that you can use half the componants in a full bridge design which even when yyou use the same or better quality componants, cost is less. Full-bridge amps utizing smart efficient power supplies and GANfet's are the way of the future. you watch, as the price on GANfets drop, you'll see more and more compnies moving towards using them in full bridge designs as half bridge designs start to fade away. It's only a few years away, if that. [/QUOTE]
