Okay, now I can't honestly say I've ever heard a class D used for front/rear component speakers. Some say that compared to an AB amp it is bad, then I've heard others that say there is no difference. I was looking at getting this eclipse amp, but I'm more looking for SQ if there is going to that much of a difference...

you want to use that for your front or rear comp speakers? if so you can't. it only goes up to 500hz.

that is the case with all the class d amps. the frequency range is limited so you can't use it for comps.

yeah, front and rear speakers. maybe I missed where it only went to 500hz I looked it over a few times and it looks like it will drive full range speakers to me
