JWBryant Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 So I was curious about amplifiers. Say you have two that both claim to put out 2,000 watts (about) of power at 1 ohm, but the prices vary. One that is say, four hundred dollars and the other that is well over a grand. But both would be respectable brands. What kind of things make such a price jump justafiable? I am learning more about impendance rise and how the subwoofer and the box play a part in it. Also I thought I saw something about different amplifiers that deal with the impendance rise differently and possibly give more power. I dont know if this plays a part in different amplifiers or not. So the main question is what makes an amplifier that costs the same but does the same rated better if say they both put out clean power at rated? Sound quality? Build quality? Sorry if versus thread, just thinking. Basshead-in-Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshman6969 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 parts used, technology used, and brand name(pyle is named that for a reason i like to think) its all marketing really, same concept in the store, theres brand name oreos which are lets say 3$ for a pack, then there is say shoprite brand for 1.50$ a pack, yet they taste the same(sometimes) Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

Stee-Z Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 name brand.... lets say AQ ..its underated so it actually pushes more watts then what it says at say 1 ohm.. now if ud get lets say a Rockford fosgate amp with the same wattage they are about twice the price. they both are very good amplifiers. Although the rockford amps look very nice also. Noe sometimes lets say your buying a sony xplode amp compared to RF, thats a different story haha (4)DD 9918's (2)DC 10k 8 6.5" focals 2 DD SS4 mid amps Audison Bit One processor Jl-cl-rlc line driver iPad in dash Dual Irragi 320a alts 8 batcaps 4000's Second Skin sound deadened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWBryant Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I dont mean the cheap cheap, I mean the average stuff a person buys compared to "top of the line". Say its parts, does that mean that it will last longer? Or sound better? And technology... What would be an example of technology in an amplifier that makes it so nice? Or maybe do you kinda pay extra for better customer service? Basshead-in-Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
