[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1315674, member: 555320"] There are VERY, VERY few true class A amps in car audio. Some are mistakenly labeled as "class A", when they are nothing more than a high-bias class A/B or the like. Only [B]true[/B], full class A amplifier I know of for mobile audio use are the Monolithic amplifiers. Though, I'm not sure why you'd want something with a maximum efficiency of 25% when we have such a limited amount of a power supply in a vehicle. Though you wouldn't need to turn on your car's heater in the winter [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Just find a good, quality built amplifier. IMHO, you are putting too much emphasis on the aspects that aren't going to make a whole hell of a lot of difference. I know there are those who disagree with me, but you won't hear much if any difference in "sound quality" between any two good quality amplifier of the same power that don't have glaring difference in terms of frequency response and distortion. Find an amp within your price range that offers the power you want, has the features you desire, cosmetics you can live with and a warranty that satisfies you. [/QUOTE]
