There is a criteria to look for in a amp or head unit and crossover.First the crossover,Look to see what db per octave the crossover is.Most junk is 12db per octave.Look for atleast 18-24db per octave.The higher the db per octave,the clearer the sound.Now amps and CD players.The crucial thing on amps and CD players is the THD% rating.For a base,lets take Alpine for instance.Their amps are rated @ .08%THD.The lower the THD,the more clarity.Precision power is rated at.02%THD.Now you see why precision power is the amp to have.Dampening factor is also something to consider.For all you bassheads out there,dampening factor is the ability to make a bass note and get back into position for another or to the neutral position.So the greater the dampening factor,the clearer the amp.For instance,Precision Power has a >500 dampening factor.Kenwood is something like>100!Distortion is when the bass note is trying to be re-created and the speaker has not got back to its neutral position from the last bass note.I hate to see someone buy a CD player or amp without checking out the specs.Its like buying a motor and trusting the guys word that it has 500 horsepower without doing a dyno test!If you want clean,clear sound,please buy clean power.
