[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8848614, member: 684299"] You will never hear or notice that damping factor. You look inside those amps and see the brands of caps etc and you will sometimes see they are the same or of equal quality. Taramps isn’t Chinese made. Not all Korean amps are created equal either. Class D power is Class D power, if they make the rated power or more, it comes down to efficiency, features, price, and size if space is limited. Of course another important factor is warranty and how well a brand stands by it. It’s never fun when an amp blows and you have to wait for it to be repaired or when you wait and they say it’s not covered. A hooligan 5k is $1000, a smart 5k can be had for $460. The crossovers are junk on that smart 5k but if it blows up, I send it right back to Amazon and get another one in 2-3 days no questions asked (which is exactly what I did). For me paying double for better crossovers isn’t worth it to me. To say something is better quality and not being able to hear a difference isn’t worth it to me either. It all comes down to personal preference. [/QUOTE]
