The Evolution of Car Amplifiers

Video Transcript

"It is almost time for me to say good-bye, but this is not going to be a regular closing, it is going to be a closing that has some information. Amplifiers are like the landscape or like computers, computers change year to year, day to day, minute by minute, amplifiers do the same. Just like people they go by the fashion of the era, the style or the taste of whatever is going on in gadgetry and electronics. So what is to look forward to in twelve volt technology, let us talk about amplifiers that have two pre-stage with MOSFET or a solid state power primary stage. What that means is that you are going to get a warm transition to the constant power so you get the power that is lacking from tube amps but you are going to get the warmness of a pre-stage, where you get just the ambiance of natural sound reproduction. What else do you have to look forward to? Amplifiers are getting smaller and smaller, this amplifier right here, this fine Pioneer product, look at it, it is tiny right? It is what the new trend of so called stackable amplifiers because it is stackable, was this size just last year and actually this new mini me amplifier has more power than its predecessor from the year before. This is not the predecessor, this is a four channel just to give you an idea. So, amplifiers are getting smaller, they are getting more efficient, they are getting more unique and there you are, a lot more to look forward to, a small touch on technology and good hunting."
