If you are using the amp only for LOW freq's reproduction or for a sub...then I recomend a class D amplifier...the small difference in SQ Between A/B and D amps is comparing apples to oranges.

When using a Class D amp for Mids/Hi's at higher power levels there is audible distortion due to insuffient MOSFET transients in the Higher Freq's.

Although when using Class D for powering a Sub-Woofer there i s no audible distortion when d riven i nto clipping...although it will produce more power more efficiently when driving Freq's below 90HZ.

 

theres the crossfire vr2000d



High current Class "D" subwoofer amplifier,1000w x 1RMS into 4 ohms Continuously variable 12dB x-over between 50 and 250Hz, Continuously variable subsonic filter between 20 and 50Hz with on/off circuit, RCA preamp output, CFR-3 analog subwoofer level control, 2000W x1 into 2 ohm. 9.3"W x 2.1"H x 22"L

 

Have you noticed that even Alpine uses non-regulated power supplies in some of their amps? </font>[/QUOTE]hey Mike! lol i should have figured that would wake u up.lol i have no ties to alpine just so u know. not even a fan of there gear any more for that matter. i think the general line made changes that i don't agree with any who. love the f1 stuff but hay only guys like Oakly have that privlage.

regulated power supplies (such as JL's) leave almost no room for musical peaks and transients, I guess if you're just into playing bass discs as loud as you can, regulated is the way to go, but I've never seen anyone but JL market a tightly regulated power supply as better than unregulated.

That amp looks like it came of the set of Star-Trek. [img]graemlins/cf2.gif[/img]

 

lol, it does, I take it you havnt seen any of orions line up of amps?? most of theres all look like that, some are smaller then otheres

 

u say uneducated! lol. well then i guess that makes u oppionated. [img]tongue.gif[/img] i am not saying that unregulated is no good just not my first choice. that just being my oppion. i've listened to a lot of bolth and i like the sound of one better. [img]smile.gif[/img]
