ribeiro953 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 i was just wondering what everyone thinks is better 2 channel or monoblock? ive hear 2 channels are for more controlled bass for SQ and monoblocks are "sloppy"bass but they draw less power? so whats the real story Jeffrey Ribeiro Co-Founder Gold Leaf Consultants E: [email protected] www.GoldLeafConsultants.com CA refs: abdulwq, jordyo,sgdenny,shinju, bannok SMD refs: Assman, zfrerichs, shinju, Loganberry CCA refs: jordyo, SR SQ, nothing13, Mat-Romain, JohnnyRock1588, Brandon, KingRukus, SPDDMON, BlitzSix CA feedback thread http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.p...384#post5068384 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickyMcD Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Most, nearly all, 2 channel amplifiers are class A/B or for higher powered applications, class H. These 'analogue' power amplification topologies offer high slew rates, great response and usually a good damping factor. Most monoblock amplifiers are Class D, or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). This offers low damping factor (the amplifier's ability to control cone movement at full rest), significantly higher distortion figures yet yields insane amounts of power and great power efficiency. The 'sloppy' bass comes from a low damping factor where the amplifier simply cannot control the cone enough. A good amplifier will have a damping factor of <350. A great amplifier, like the PV3800, yields a <600 damping factor. An amazing amplifier, like the Crown MacroTech MA5002VZ offers <2000. For pure tone, a Class A, A/B or H amplifier is the answer, no question. For greater than a few kw, Class D or TD is the only solution.
