i also look at it like this! A/B = speakers like components and class D or T are subs!

i have a sax100.4 pushing my zapco RB13.2 and man o man they shine like you woudln't believe!

I probably wont hear the difference, but good damping helps the speakers...

Thanks.. already seen the sales on DIYMA.

Ive read alot already on damping factor.. its not only that, THD is crucial as well.
Class D amps are a compromise.. smaller, more efficient and cheaper.

but read this ...

THD lol

A THD rating < 1% is considered to be in high-fidelity and inaudible to the human ear.

keep that in mind! but like i said WHAT are your GOALS??

if you are worring about the nit pic things are you a all out SQ guy? or is somebody who has a little knowledge whispering in your ear? lol

^ that pretty much sums it up, lol. seems like you answered your own question rob.

personally i'd say they are all respectable amps, you aren't looking for a huge amount of power => stick with the zapco. you are already running all zapco, why switch it up?

if you are going for a stealth install go with the arc, you can hide those things anywhere.

Have a look at the specs on the ARC KS300.2. It's a 2 channel amp that will give you 700w bridged.
