"Types of amps! You probably thought we just went over that in my generalized explanation of an introduction but no it goes far deeper than that. There are different types of amplifiers. Their home amplifiers that run on one ten. There?s amplifiers that run on twelve volt. The kind that we're talking about today run on twelve volt. Amplifiers and the types differ because they suit different purposes. Different needs and different demands. We have amplifiers that use the bi-amp front components. What are front components? Your front stage! Where you hear transitioning of voices, instruments. Not the bass! Those amplifiers are reserved just to put in full range. Very much different than the full multi range amp that does front and rear. Gives you rear fill, front biased and the types that suit both of those things can vary. They can be an all digital class, there are some people that even put a mono block per component. If you have a two way component, you might use one amp for the left side and amp for the right side. A little crazy, a little extreme but some people just like to have that for effect. There are analog four channels like this one here. It will give you the two front channels, two rear channels. I total of four channels, and this will give you a good natural sound reproduction up to an extent. Little more crude but it gets the job done. It's going to be way louder than if you just took up deck power or your factory head unit to any aftermarket speaker. We have mom blocks! Mono blocks are one channel out, meaning Mono not dual class. There's analog, digital and those amplifiers are important because digital and analog will allow you to know the difference between, are you just doing it with a non-digitized signal in. Are you going to be able to drop your amplifier down to one ohm or two ohm, which we will go into later. These are different types of amplifiers. These are really specifics that we're going to go into and this next section I will be rolling into each type of amplifier in depth."
