And the more class A bias there is, the closer to it being class A it would be. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Somewhat silly of a statement, but it makes sense. There really only needs to be about 5% Class A bias to cover the 'notch' that the Class B transistors create for the first .6v or so.


Now what would be REALLY cool is if someone listed all the amps on earth and state how much Class A bias each one has. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ...well at least the ones I have.

 

what about Class 'eh ?

 

Ok so i have two subs that handle 300 watts each, but my amp only pushes a little more than 200 watts to each sub, if i had that extra 100 more watts for each sub, what kind of difference in output would i receive?

 

^^^I agree with Tom, but I'm a horrible example of the opposite.

 

I was careful NOT to disagree, there are several thought processes on this and many ways to sonic heaven. I was all about low power last year (300 watt total) and have made 90 watts (total) systems (Front rear and Sub) but with my painfully inefficient drivers I had to go up in the wattage to get the SPL I need for competition (SPL swings, EQ enduro, showing off). Am I hypocritical… no! I would love to go down in power consumption.

 

Personnally, I really don't care if people don't agree with me. A lot of the cars I've seen or judged SQ wise have spent loads of cash on gear and gobs of power and they still didn't sound anywhere near what they should have given the money invested and the power in the systems. Better could be done by system matching the gear. Power isn't everything, unless you know how to "use it properly" and "install it properly". Very few here are in the league of Jamie or are doing things like Adam. All I was trying to do was give the guy a realistic idea about reality and not to follow the tread of spending like mad as it's NOT necessary to do so to achieve what he wants. Ridicule that if you want............. doesn't matter to me either way and I still stand behind what I said.
