And what makes you think that ...old silver solid audio were class d and very efficient as most of pw'ers have used them . I really doubt jbl gto14001 and always have ... Of 2 things ..........
- Doubt it's a class D , all sites claim it to be A/B ...now don't tell me that it's freaquency response limited ,for A/B it needs to broder etc etc
The frequency response is no issue as there are many class A/B mono subwoofer amps with limited response as yours ...
2. Supporting upper point , it has 160 ampere fuses ...so p=vi , (14.4)(160) = 2304wrms ,Being class d as u claim efficient it should be 80% efficient but it only gives 1500wrms as CEA rated ...now you will claim its underrated bla , ok consider 1750 wrms max out of it as you said somewhere
So that 1750/2304 = 75% of efficiency ...wtf .......if it was a true class D and very efficient as you claim ...that should be around 80-86% efficiency for a good efficient classD amp so it should give around .86 x 2304 = 1981wrms which is practically, impossible for this amp to give .... so hence proved a non efficient class a/b amp
Ps:The crispness ,good SQ in subs you is due to better circuitry ,lower THD ,better SNR values and dampening factor of this amp ...
So I consider jbl gto14001 to be power hungry since its a class a/b , gto24001 is exception it's a class d ..
Ive also mailed jbl about class A/B query , they soon clear out which I shall post here to clear you up more ..
