So, Ive pretty much been decided on Jl 300/2, but I was just wondering if anyone has a good alternative. What other good amps are there for a decent price? How satisfied are you with yours? Recommendations? Thanks

On a budget, profile amps get the job done.

 

Alpine MRV-F545. Rated at 125rms, but bench tested at 179rms.... Sub channel bridged to 500rms (rated), and 550rms actual (bench). Gotta love Alpine!

thats a 4 channel though...Im looking for 2 channel
mrv-t420:
Key Features: 110 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms 170 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms 340 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode stereo

Think this would be fine?

Would this be better?
Alpine MRV-T320

Key Features: 80 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms 110 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms 220 watts RMS x 1


I would want to run speakers at 4ohm correct? So 110 watts RMS would be about exactly what I need. Do you know the bench test for this one?

 

Each bench test is specific to the amp. I only know mine, because I bought it off another member here, who posted his bench test results when he first got it.

What speakers are you running? You may have to run them as 4-ohm... Some speakers like more power (Kappa Perfect and Type X series for example).

I am running type-X components up front (they are only rated from Alpine at 80rms, but I am going to be putting a minimum of 125, and closer to 179 to them.... Granted I will not be running it ALL out, but they should have that capability).

I have kappa perfects. 400 watt max, but 100rms...i figured jl 300/2 was perfect. I should run these at 4-0hm correct?
