Why are home amps so small and expensive?


Recommended Posts

Correct me if I am wrong: but don't the home amps have to convert the 120vac into dc power to they can use it? While a car already has dc going in?

Having a 150db room is pointless. I'd rather have a 150db car than a 150db room. Haha not to mention any that lives around you would be filing noise complaints left and right. If anything, I just want a little bump and high clarity sound.

Because people are dumb enough to pay that much for it.

Power for cheap isnt really an issue in home equipment, just go with pro audio stuff rather than the big receiver units.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
