RCP Audio Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 are you guys really arguing about cheap ass amps? Is that like arguing over who's shit stinks less? I think its more like if the bear shits in the woods or not... Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notorious97200 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 so someone is saying he can hear the difference between several amps ? Same settings, same power ? How can you be sure ? I thought an amplifier was meant to make power, and not modify the sound of the speakers. Don't believe the hype !!!

S/N Ratio is a factor, as are THD and other factors.

STEvil Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 s/n, thd, dampening factor, impedence curve, input sensativity (oscillations), etc etc etc.. There are class D amps that sound great, and class D amps that sound like crap, same goes for A/B and anything else, and dont forget that your headunit is in general a class D amp, so the analogue signal it is feeding is sub-par to what it could be to begin with. I cant wait for the day that car audio goes to digital signal transfer.. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." 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. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

I thought an amplifier was meant to make power, and not modify the sound of the speakers. Don't believe the hype !!! trust me, yes, there is a huge difference in what comes out of one vs another. cheap things using cheap components will sound cheap. A/B circuitry will have a different sound/color to it than class D typically also. Amps color sound, speakers color sound, the listening environment effects the sound. Went into the studio, hooked up 7 SM57s on a kick drum, all to different mic pre's, set the levels on all of them so the signal coming out was about the same in amplitude, and there was a tremendous difference in them, when we tried this on a piano, even more so. I realize these are studio pre-amps, but the point is, they are still amps, and built differently, and each color the sound differently, every component signal passes through will color the sound one way or another, sometimes it is noticeable, others, not so much.
