Need a electronics guru here.
You know those power amps you put in your car for your car stereo that are like 1500 watts, but will fit into the palm of your hand almost and weigh like 2 pounds.
what is the difference between those and say a solid state power amp that weighs like 60 pounds used for live music??
I know one uses AC current, and one uses DC, and other than the inputs and outputs being different, and there are pre-amps involved with some music ones, why the size difference?? and is there a sound difference?
if you could convert the power, could the car stereo amp that pumps out 1500 watts of power be used to power house speakers or what ever you wanted to use them for (monitors, bass amp, guitar amp). and would the conversion be cost effective?
also the car amps go for like $50, and the sound reenforcement ones go for like $2000!! could you get a quality sound from the coverted car stereo amp for lots less money??
The car stereo amp still has to produce the 20hz-20k for us hear is right? and it is amplifing the same instruments that a live music amp is. I dont get it.
I have always wondered this, anyone know the Answers in simple laymans terms?
thanks for reading my innermost thoughts of the day so far
