Better Sound 

An amplifier is essentially a power source that drives your speakers to produce a louder sound without straining them at any volume level. 

So if you are adding high-quality aftermarket speakers to your system and want to get your money’s worth out of the speakers and peak performance, than you need to have an amplifier to bring out the best in the speakers. 

What kind of amplifier do I need? 

The kind of amplifier you need depends a lot on what kind of speakers you want to power.

Amplifiers are classified according to the design of the circuit and the way its output is powered to the speakers. 

Two main things that determine the efficiency and the fidelity of the amplifier is power dissipation and distortion. 

Class A Amplifier

This type of amplifier can give you a high quality sound but because of the way it is made it is very inefficient and runs very hot. This is because even when they are not in use energy continues to run through them producing lots of heat which ends up wasting energy. 
 

Class B Amplifier 

These amplifiers actually turn on and off for half of every signal cycle this provides better efficiency and saves energy but at the same time it adds distortion to the system. 

Class AB Amplifier 

This is the most common type of car amplifier because it runs cooler and more efficiently and also has less distortion and is much more reliable than the first class A and class B. 

Class D Amplifier 

This type of amplifier switches on and off at least twice every signal cycle to give even higher efficiency and produce even less heat. But because of the frequent cycling they produce higher distortion than an AB design. 

Amp wiring kits can cost from less than $30 to over $200 depending on the quality that you want to pay for. It if you already spent the money for high-quality speakers and amplifiers and you owe it to your system to buy high quality amp wiring kits to connect them together.
