Hi hope ya'll bear with my noob questions.



So in the interest of balancing cost savings and sound quality, which should i choose? Running 100w rms speakers front and back

Option 1:   Two (4x 60w@4ohm, AB class) amps total- one amp has 2x bridged channels to power the front components, and the other amp to run the rear speakers

OR

Option 2: Just save up and buy the more expensive and straightforward amp (4x 130w@4ohm, class d amp)
Also, is there any difference in sq between ab class and d class amps when hooked up to component speakers?
Thanks.

1) wait n purchase more than 100 rms amp for your front, imho take out ur rear speakers, front sufficient enuf. If u run ur system correctly,
rear passengers can hear clearly same as front passengers.

2) but if u insist non rear speakers, wait n purchase more than 4x100rms for your front n rear. u can just play with what u have now.

3) ur question about 2 or 1 amp, its depends on ur budget, ur space for the amps, most important is the amp rating, if u bridge ur amp, it will stress ur amp, the thd will increase by 10x too, so only recommend bridge for sub n not front speakers.


This is to reduce ur losses so that future no need to upgrade.
