Thanks, I bought one last night. Should be here late next week with my x995.
Post a review up once you get it installed. This is one of the exact amps I'm looking to run.
The MB Quartz isn't Class D unfortunately.
Seeing that you are from Arizona, do they have problems with heat over there when driving subwoofers?
Clarion.
No. Never had an issue, although I always install in a pretty well open space. Were there complaints about the Q series out there overheating? It has a massive heatsink on it...
Dude, read the post he is looking for class D :bash:
Large class A/B amplifiers going into protect mode on an unusually hot day when playing the right track is not completely unheard of.
I am not against A/B, I just do not like the efficiency of them. It is up for debate if Class D fidelity is lower, which I believe is more than likely not the case since frequency response seems very flat. Also alot of people don't seem to hear a difference and they are far more experienced than me. In saying that, I don't believe that Class D is a "bass only" amp.Clarion.
Review - Over 100w / channel. Clarion XH5410 4-Channel Amp Review - Amplifier Reviews - Car Audio and Electronics. I'm leery of any kind of bandpass crossover with dials (they WILL move over time) but hey if its your thing, why not? I'm an Audiocontrol purist on active crossovers and you can get a 24xs for $50 if you look around. I also go with Clarion because I live close to a licensed Clarion repair station and they have a pretty much no questions asked policy on warranty work with Clarion. PPI I cannot say, although thats not to say they dont. YMMV.
MB Quart
If you only want bass, then "ra-ra go class D". I understand the small footprint is cool, but if you're only using a single amp anyway, I think the class A/B MB Quart is not too big. 150x2 + 440wx1 all at 4 ohms is a great amp for $200. Plus, living in Canada, you'll have yourself a nice little space heater in your vehicle?
