First of all that's REALLY efficient in the world of car audio amplifiers, REALLY efficient. Especially when you compare it to a Class AB amplifier which anything over 50% is great. Second of all it's impossible to know with any certainty how accurate that efficiency rating is. There are many painstaking steps to ensure accurate measurements of anything and I can guarantee with a fair amount of certainty that the efficiency rating that is published is not 100% accurate. The few I've seen that were done properly were that high with a 4 ohm load and went down each time the load did. I saw a test by a reputable engineering firm on an Audison Class D (high end amp) that was 85% efficient at 4 ohms. It dropped to 81% at 2 ohms and went to a dismal in comparison 69% at 1 ohm. If you want to get another Q1200 go for it. It would be a fine amp on that sub. The one nice thing about the PPI or similar is having the overhead and another is it's a little cheaper. In the end it's all up to you but I don't see how 84% efficiency, or anything better than a Class AB would affect a purchasing decision. What coil configuration did you get on the LI? |
1 it says its 84% on soundqubeds website. 2 I got it in D2 so I can run it at 1ohm
