wrexxy Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 is there a noticeable difference in sound clarity between the two? I'm looking for a 4 ch amp and the tiny footprint of the Alpine PDX-4.150 is Really appealing. However it is a class d amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbg Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 IMO yes, I even hear the difference between the same class. Like I just got a new amp JL GMAX 1200.1, old amp was vvme 1500.1. And way big difference in sound in the 2.

wrexxy Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 opps, forgot to say that this was for for my front (components) and rear fill. Both Image Dynamics CTX series. as far as A/B class amps, i have no idea what's classified as good. I'd like to at least run 100 rms to the fronts and at least 75 to the rears.

Moreno93 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 ^ Also you cant compare a VVME amp to a JL amp... Like really? Obviously the JL audio amp is going to sound better.. I learned something here thanks Cableguy184. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch the bass Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Normaly a medium quality Class D amp is a good choice for clarity. The advantage of class A/B is in the colour of sound.

Note really sure what you mean by the colour of the sound, but maybe that means i wouldn't notice a difference? either way, suggestions on a 4ch? call the budget up to $350, and at least 100rms @4ohm x 4 channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you will understand what Watch The Bass is talking about ... I'm sponsored by linear power, So I can not recommend brand names. Also, to be honest, I'm against running multiple channel amplifiers anyways ... but if I had no choice, I'd definitely take class A/B over class D ... I have 2 2-channel amplifiers running my front stage in the neighborhood of 600 watts (150w x 4) ... Best of luck with your search brother !!! I'm tuned in If you need anything ...
