I guess I didn't make myself clear. I want to discuss the SQ differences of
car amplifiers that newsgroup owners have experienced. I.E. Kenwood vs.
MTX, etc. I'm trying to decide if I should sell my Excelon and maybe by a
SoundStream, ADS, JL or MTX.

Why did you bother asking? You already said you believe there are
differences - in home amps, why would car amps be any different - and
pre-emptively suggested that people that don't agree with you should shut
up. This is a newsgroup intended for discussion of various car audio
equipment and different viewpoints about the hobby. If you need to post
just so you can hear other people agree with your own theories, you might
want to try rec.audio.[insert your own name]...

Hi,

I recently bought a MTX 502 Thunder Amp and it's built like a tank and is
quite hefty. It works great with my 12" sub. My (4) 6 x 9 speakers are
powered by a Kenwood Excelon 4-channel X-614 amp. The MTX is only a two
channel amp but weighs quite a bit more then the 4 channel Kenwood. This
leads me to believe that the MTX probably has larger capacitors and
Torodials. I was thinking of selling the Kenwood and replacing it with a
MTX 4-channel amp. I'm wondering if anyone has done a comparison of car
amps and if there is a big difference in sound quality from one
manufacturer's amps to another ? Please refrain from posting if you're in
the camp that they all sound the same............I know with home amps
that this is not true and my ears are the proof. I've tested many amps on
my system and have run them at low levels so they amp was not clipping and
I could hear a difference when I flipped back and forth. Some amps
produced better bass, some better mids, some had glaring highs, etc.
Thanks
