ALPINE MRV F450

Okay i was searching on ebay for a great alpine amp and came across THIS BAD MO FO for 296+25 for shipping. Should I take back my Alpine MRP-F200 that has 45wRMSx4 that cost 209.99 and get the MRV-F450 that has 45wRMSx4+200wRMSx1

Ehhh, maybe not. You could get a JBL 600.1 for about $180. It'll do about 700WRMS at 2 ohm and is stable to 1 ohm. However, it doesn't have very many bells and whistles like the Alpine. Would you rather have 1 amp to run the whole system? Or dish out an extra $80 for a seperate amp and get another 500WRMS? If you aren't interested in the JBL I'd still get th e 5-channel. You could always use more power! [img]smile.gif[/img]

well see, i recently bought an alpine tpye-r component system and alpine sub and mono amp and another alpine amp to run my component set on but i ran accross this amp that does everything that my other two amps do the f200 is 45wRMSx4 and the m200 is 200wRMSx1 and the f450 does 50wRMSx4+200wRMSx1 and my head unit only has ONE 4 volt pre-amp outlet.

So basically you just want to have one amp run the whole system instead of two seperate? Hmmm.... I'd keep what you got if you don't have any space problems. No reason to spend the extra $100. Maybe the seperate sub amp has more features the the 5-channel?? Bass boost etc...Use a Y-adapter on your RCA output to power both amps.

yeah, because I think it would look nicer also. One amp that is V12 to Vpower(kind I got now) the vpower dont have that much features. I dont know, but thanks for your input, I think I might just buy a gtech pro competition. Its 249.95 it has tons of features.
