stingray72 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 an amp that has a 10- 50k frequency range vs a amp that has a 20- 20k frequency range. I know the human hearing range is 20 - 20k but would that range be of better quality with the first amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Possibly but you have to take everything in consideration speakers, type of amp, acoustics of area there’s an article about it somewhere on the net can’t remember where or if it was home audio or car it’s been awhile my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetegjoe Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 If the spec in question is from a currently reputable brand , it is a positive indicator but there are other factors that will affect the amp’s true sq. Specs from faded or entry level brands should be taken with a grain salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumpedCX5 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Assuming the amplifiers in question are of similar quality/price point I think it would come down to how the rest of the specs look. In the average car, which is a horrible environment for sound, nobody is going to hear the difference between an amp that can span a wider spectrum than 20-20k and do it reasonably flat. Other specs like distortion and frequency response will have a far greater effect on what you hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray72 Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Well one thing about the amp with wide range is it only has 85 db separation and my amp has 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separation is an Easy spec for a well designed amp, it's the measure of bleed over from one signal channel to another(s). A really low number would indicate that your Left and Right channels would bleed into each other for example. 85dB should be sufficient, but in Pro Audio amps for example that would usually be 100dB - 115dB.
