Amplifiers for Passive Subwoofers: The very best amplifier for a subwoofer is a class AB or Class H amplifier. Class D amplifiers are too slow and cannot keep up with repetitive bass. A class AB has a toroidal transformer and coke can capacitors so when the kick drum kicks the woofer responds instantly.
What is a Class D amplifier used for?
Class D amps, also known as “digital” amplifiers, work by shifting the sample frequency at which they operate up to extremely high frequencies. In doing so, they use MUCH smaller power transformers which takes up far less interior space—something that is always at a premium in subwoofers.
Can Class D amplifiers sound good?
As it turns out however, the best Class D amplifiers in 2020 are exceptionally good, so much so that the benefits they have always presented in terms of efficiency, longevity, thermal management and weight savings no longer come at the cost of any real sacrifice in audio quality.
Are Class D amplifiers better?
Class A design is the least efficient but has the highest sound fidelity. Class B design is a little more efficient, but full of distortion. Class AB design offers power efficiency and good sound. Class D design has the highest efficiency but isn't quite as high-fidelity.
How do you hook up a subwoofer to a Class D amp?

Left positive speaker output terminal.
Do Class D amps use less power?
Thanks to a different topology (Figure 2), the Class D amplifier dissipates much less power than any of the above. Its output stage switches between the positive and negative power supplies so as to produce a train of voltage pulses.
Do Class-D amplifiers get hot?
Class D CAN get hot but with proper design should not. Figure on about 90% overall efficient, a 1000 watt class D amp will dissipate about 25 watts based on average power of 1/4 (1/8 is suitable for PA but not bass). So it shouldn't get very hot on the outside of the chassis.
What class amp is best for bass?
The very best amplifier for a subwoofer is a class AB or Class H amplifier. Class D amplifiers are too slow and cannot keep up with repetitive bass.
What is wrong with Class D amplifiers?
Overheating: Class D's output-stage power dissipation, though lower than that of linear amplifiers, can still reach levels that endanger the output transistors if the amplifier is forced to deliver very high power for a long time.
