Class D vs. a/b

How does the full range class D amps compare in terms of SQ to the class a/b mosfet type amps? It seems that everyone would go rull range class D if they sounded as good or better.

It amazes me that you have so much money to spend on your car, but you still don't have the money you owe me for the SLCs.

Hmm ok, keep in mind, I have mine powered by 80 rms and still needed to flip them. Were they not loud enough overall or just not loud enough on the high end? If on the high end, you should have switched the tweet prior to buying an amp, either way let me know how it goes.

As a matter of fact I just did one the other day in a G35, along with an AVN, Sirius, Rainbow SLC's and SL's, 2 XA1000's and 2 SW7200's. Unbridged, just wired normal, passively, on the SLC's and SL's, and sounded very good. I LOVE top mounted controls, every amp needs to have em.
