Alpine makes great amplifiers for stuff that's not made in the US.
How good the amp is, depends on the model/series of amplifier. Their high end stuff is terrific if you're using their digital processors and control modules.
If you just want a basic amplifier, their lower end stuff will do the job just fine.

I've never used Alpine amps, however i've heard they're good budget amps. I own an MTX Thunder 311D and it's been a very solid amp. No complaints. Id reccomend it for someone on a budget. Check out ebay for some refurb amps if you're lookin to get a real good deal on one.

Check that little guy out. Rated for 200 watts at 2 ohms, 12.5 volts. Since your car charges inbetween 13.6 and 14.4 it will put out a little more. Plus JL makes some good stuff. You wont be disappointed.

Yes is dual 4 ohm voice coil. How about MTX thunder 2301 150W at 4 ohm?
You think mtx will work better from Alpine amp?

Thanks again

For the fronts, thats a good amp.
As for the sub, thats a dual 4 ohm voice coil, right? If so, then you will need to look for a mono amp stable to 2 ohms around 200-250. The amp u were lookin at will give that sub a little too much power.

Thanks. :cheers:

What are the RMS ratings of your speakers? Just so we know what direction to steer you in. Both amps are good quality, so either would be a good choice.

Oh yea...and welcome to the forums. Hope you stick around! :cheers:

Thanks. Tedd.
2 Amps is the best way to go. :thumbsup
Which amplifier you are suggesting? Alpine or MTX?

Alpine MRV-F345 for the F+R Speakers and mono Alpine MRP-M350 for the Sub?
or
-MTX Thunder 3404 for the F+R Speakers and MTX Thunder mono MTX Thunder 3401?

Any other suggestions are welcome.
Your suggestions much will be appreciated.

Thanks

I would definitely get rid of that Sony amp. Im suprised it lasted this long.
As for the alpine 5 channel, the rms ratings seem kinda low on it. I would probably look into a good 4 channel amp, and a mono amp for your sub.
