Question High end power amp on 12v battery

I would like to take some speakers with me for my battery powered rig

Do you know of a high quality amp on 12v DC? Preferably with low power consumption of course. 30w should do the trick.

Kind regards

Don't let the 10W or the cheap price fool you, the T-Amp is a true amplifier!

You will never regret entering the Class D amplification!


If you like it, your next step could be a Virtue, you can read the review here.

TNT-Audio is an audiophile web site, but it accepts no advertising even if they have a lot of traffic, they are pretty serious and price concious: they don't recomend 5000$/foot cables!!!

even small monitors are going to need more than 6w behind them

I have been listening to music with less than 10W amps for nearly ten years*, my speakers are under 90dB/W and I have regular ears, not hypersensible!!!

If your speakers are 85dB/W (that would be on the low side), you can produce 85dB with just one watt. Do you need much more than that??

I will always remember the first time I heard a Marshall guitar tube amp which was 50W against another 100W transistor watt amp. The tube amp sounded 100x louder. We don't listen to watts, we listen to decibels!!!

*OK, I confess I added lately an active sub-woofer to have bass move my pants when listening music that contains the lyrics "yeah baby"!!!!
