from cartronixplus.com "First is the unbelievable efficiency of class BD digital technology. These amps run 2 - 4 times more efficient than class AB amps. This means this amp will make a real 2800 watts RMS but only draw as much power from your cars alternator as a typical 500 - 1000 watt amp! Rockford's class BD amps are also superior to regular class D amps in that the proprietary technology allows them to play with ultra low distortion. Regular class D amps have tremendous distortion, Rockford Fosgate design changes all this!" What I'm asking everyone is do you think that it really draws as much power as a typical 500-1000 watt amp would? I'm asking this because this amp could save me money buy not having to upgrade my alternator.
haha yeah right...that amp will pull more than 80-100 amps of current This class "BD" tech is basically a class D design...same efficiency as a class D amp.. From Rockfords website "Class-bd amplifiers have 75-80% efficiency ratings vs. 20-60% efficiency ratings of traditional class A/B amplifiers." in a nutshell it is a class D design
you know.. i never really thought about the different classes. anyone wanna post up all the different classes and order then from worst to best?
Worst to best??? Depends on the application Some people think TUBE amps are the best read this http://www.bcae1.com/ampclass.htm
