    So Glad you are measuring with 13.2-13.8 volts. That’s real power for most of us.

    Excellent job of testing and putting out data and sharing your opinion objectively rather than subjectively.
    If you get a chance, also pls suggest good amps for midrange and tweeters as well.
    Thank you

    I have this amp to power 2 IB 8 inches under my seats to complement my 18 IB in the back. Planning to run it from 50 to 130 htz or something when I install them in the next few weeks. Thank you so much for the helpful video!

    Wouldn’t it run at higher ohms than 4 when running door speakers on music? I wonder what it looks like at 6 and 8 ohms. Might not be that bad for highs and mids.

      Most of the time it's the ground between the source and the amplification. Run power and ground from the UK back to the amps.

    You are comparing Alpine to others. Name brand is always different for reasons. Look at Alpine amps their class d amps have low THD regardless of power and regardless of ohm load. I have a DSP but still run components at a full signal. It’s nice to know that if I wanna bridge my Alpine at two homes, I’m going to reach the same amount of low distortion. Although I do like a warmer sound and a lot of bass sometimes. I want my highs and mids to be pure SQ, nothing muddy and nothing harsh. It’s just your preference in the long run. When I was younger and Car audio in the 90s, you simply just got which you could afford but I remember my friend running two kicker eights in a sealed box and I thought it sounded better than his 215s when he upgraded, it’s just personal preference. The bad thing is it’s spending money over and over to finally find what you’re looking for. People used to always say if you don’t like the way it sounds just build another box. Well, the prices of wood are not where they used to be, and when you’re a grown man with three kids, your time and money is very limited. I’ve noticed that a very good solid mid base with a warmer sound is what I prefer over anything. But I also run three Infiniti 10 inch 1000 subwoofers in a sealed box 310s in a sealed box gives me the same output as two in a ported box but two subs in a ported box in a trunk. Sounds like shit to me. It’s all back to personal preference I can’t stand the inside of my car rattling anywhere and I can’t stand the outside of my car rattling anywhereand I never drive with the windows down so all my acoustical measurements are done for windows up 100% of the time
    I run infinity components in the front and back. On an Alpine Amp. Three 10” Infinity subs off a Kicker Amp all threw an Alpine DSP. I never run my highs and mids lower than 4 ohm for a cleaner sound.

    Thanks for the incredibly helpful content here and in the FB group! I understand you do not recommend this for mids/tweets - but would this be cleaner than a typical head unit power for mids and tweets, or basically just to be avoided completely? What about potentially running this for midbass and a single sub, and a separate 4 channel for the mids/tweets?

    @TheGodofSEO 10 месяцев назад

    Dumb question: despite the amps’ harmonic inclination, does having a DSP help eliminate/limit/smooth out any of the effects you described? I’m just curious from an engineering perspective, what amp would serve well for midranges and tweeters which do NOT exhibit these outputs? Given that the tweeters are so limited in power, and midranges (2-3”) as well, how much of the harmonic “disturbances” can make their way to them/are audible?

    • @RAW-CAt
      @RAW-CAt  10 месяцев назад +3

      All the THD in the signal path ad up, so you can't "clean up" the signal. The more things you have in the chain, the worse the signal will be. For mids and tweets you don't need a lot of power, but the amp has to.be very clean, with minimum harmonics at 1-5kHz range.
