Guys, l got a few question here.

Actually...l dont know what is the diffrent between class D and mono amp?

Today, l just bought a Blaupunkt Velocity Class D 2/1 channel amp to drive my sub. Is that a good choice? Or should l get monoblock amp instead?

Class D and monoblock are the same thing... they use the same circuit design... monoblock are mainly used to power a sub... normally has only 1ch output(except for DMA)... They are designed to power a sub with the minimal power drag from the battery compared to a bridged class A/B amp...

since you hav bought the Blaupunkt amp then i would suggest you to use it first... flick around with it... and see if it gets overheat or not... see whether it fulfills your desire or not...

normally a monoblock dun come cheap... so buy wisely... buy it when you really need it...

cheers...

Monoblock never come cheap because they're rated for high power output usage

Anyway craziechild... I saw your sig. I would say..... ditch that pre-amp. They're so outdated with the HUs available nowadays

well i am planiing to run active... so the pre-amp is not parametric... but active e xover... hehehe....

Class D =/= Monoblock
pls make ur facts clear

anyways, class is the definition/description of its power efficiency
(e.g. class A tend to have a lot of power loss bcos of most of the power will be dispose as heat)
class D amp is popular for driving subs bcos of its efficiency
wit the minimal power loss thus giving the subs for full feed

i guess if u're not going for extreme SPL listening pressure
the amp would be more than enuf to drive ur sub
cheers

Erm....guys...is it SQ stand for Sound Quality? Then how about SPL? (sorry about this as l,m not a hardcore ICE player)

Actually, l,m using the amp to power a 12inch sub for my new Myvi as the original sound system is totally "bassless".

Now...l can feel the bass already but again....lack of treble now. terrible....lol

SPL means, Sound Pressure Level. As for me,SPL means (Sound Pleasure Level )

I got a Concept Monoblock (suitable for SQ) for sale, you want ah? USA made, used few months only, and very seldom use. I bought it RM1600, want to sell it cheap cheap only... need money to buy processor http://concept-intl.net/proddetail.asp?ID=...tLine=Amplifier

craziechild:-

"You may spend the money in the whole world into you ICE but still sound like stock standard if you don't tune it properly..."

+++ u wil get worse sound if u add cheap cheap "Pre Amp" even u r the super extream good tunner.

well... its not those parametric pre-amp.... i am planning to do an active system... whining sound will not be a problem if your installation skill is good enough and if you do a good planning of where the wires will go...

cheers...

electronic crossover is not the same thing as pre-amp

btw... craziechild... did u check the Kicker subs at Star Accessories? just want to make sure that they're original goods. the price looked quite reasonable.

hmm kicker at star car ah? hmm... i think those are china made ones la...thats why the price are quiet low... i would recommend tun sing car accessories near cherrie berries there...

How much is the price?

RM300 to 400 one time i see... but not sure what model la... cuz i am not a kicker fans...

cheerss...

i ve a monoblock.......
How to make amp reach 350W .. do i need a 2ohms woofer
At the moment me using single 12" woofer.

200W x 1 RMS [4Ohms @ 14.4V (1% THD)]
350W x 1 RMS [2Ohms @ 14.4V (1% THD)]

How does a double coil woofer sounds like.........? more suitable for sealed or vented ?

Both DVC and SVC sub are the same... jus tht DVC sub will provide you with some wiring option to run 2 ohm from the amp...

Can u explain wut is DVC & SVC ?......... me kind of noob here

How to fully utilise my Amp, any set-up ? plz list any possible set-up.

If it can reach 350W , i'm sure i dun wun to waste wut i pay for

DVC are more powerful in the bass...but not as loud as 2 SVC sub..DVC sub actually provide wiring option and lower freq compare to SVC...

DVC is just 2 SVC built together...save space, more powerful, more wiring option...

BTW, mono /= Class D..Monoblock amp got class A, class AB, Class D and also Class F if not mistaken...

actually the loudness/freq of DVC and SVC is depend on the sub itself
DVC is juz taking the advantage of squeezing in 1 more voice coil
thus accepting more power to reach it's peak

DVC u can choose to run it parellel or series
means 8ohm or 2ohm
i find that 8ohm tends to give me more accurate bass than 2ohm
2ohm sounds louder .. and the bass is not as accurate
