Which sq amp to go with?






Yeah... All amps are created equal... Or something like that, I think, kinda, probably
Won't. You talk like you have some mental muscle you're trying hard not to flex... Like you're testing the members out here. I won't bite. If you have knowledge, let it out. Set the record straight and maybe you'll educate people who are new to car audio.
all an amp does is take a small ac voltage and make it larger thats it... now how it does it... is what some people say make or break and amp. but the output befor clip is exact on all amps regardless of price.... so that 10k audison sounds identical to the 1500.00 pioneer a900 and identical to the 56.buck nextar at canadian tire.... now this is obvious befor clip and within bandwidth... some people have mistaken volume for sq but thats not the case... ya the thesis will play louder befor clip than the nextar but as long as the waveform leaving the amp is the same as when it came in... the outputs will all sound identical!! now if the amp is changing the input signal in any way then its an eq booster, and i dont think thats what we are talking about here... as far as the neighsayers who think this is rubbish, mr. clark will award 5k to anyone who can here the difference between, so called sq amps and flee market junk... been doing this test for 20 yrs and no one, not one person. nada, has gotten any money.. remember a lamborgini goes 60 miles per hr just like a hyundai pony...my point here is one has alot more features than the other and is plain and simply a better vehicle. just like amps they do the same thing just with different options...
