Cardboardcat15 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I always contemplated something along the lines of what stalker was saying. Since home amps would have to put out cleaner power/sound at a higher impedance, it might be more costly to use higher end components to do so. Who knows, I'm probably wrong, just my guess.

2loudisjustright Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Maybe cause you dont need that much power compared to a car??I mean do you really wnat 5000 watts of power in your room? Heck yeah!! That would be freakin' awesome!! 2000 zx2: Rebuild with 8 12s on a 10k underway!! MY BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudBimmer Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Because in home audio, people want sound quality, not SPL. A lot of parts are different, more of a higher quality then car audio amplifiers. Again, it all depends on the brand of the amplifier your looking at.

412 CVX Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 well i don't have any proof or sources for this, but home amplifiers usually put out a much cleaner signal than car amplifiers. there are a few reasons for this: 1. when you're in your home it's a lot quieter than in a car. therefore it's easier to pick up on distortion 2. speakers in a home theater are a lot of times higher fidelity than car speakers. again because it's easier to pick up details in a home theater setup (sometimes) 3. if you just spent 30k on a 5.1, you're not gonna want to power it with something cheap also most home amplifiers are only stable down to 8 ohms (sometimes 4 ohms) so to be fair, look for a decent car amplifier that will put out the same power at 8 ohms as a home amp. i bet the prices will be a little closer Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

bdog Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 wall power is very dirty in comparison to batteries might be some costly components to filter it out REP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEVER plug expensive electronic equipment into the wall. Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

splmark Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 U also have to think about the fact most homes have a 20 amp breaker, that supply other plugs also. Like said above the power is dirty and just think about the current draw on a t.v, reciver, sub amp, blue-ray etc. That's alot of current, that's part of the reason home audio gear is made with better parts. http://www.termpro.com/dbdrag/memberalbum/34416a0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
