I'm thinking about getting an Amp for my car. I have the stock head unit and I do not want to change it. I have sony 1621's in the front and polk 4 inchers in the rear.

I saw an Alpine amp 75x4, with speaker level inputs, for $199, which seemed pretty good. With the install and cabling it worked out to be slightly over $300. What do you guys think of Alpine amps? Good/bad?


Do you have any other suggestions? I'm trying to get decent quality (I know it will be limited by the stock H/U), with SMALL size, and not dropping $500.

Thanks in advance!

 

I am not a fan of Alpine amps, not saying that they are not good, I just prefer other amplifiers.

Check out this thread for some amplifiers I would recommend.

 

Keith,
I have an Alpine in my Expedition ... not really crazy about the amount of power it puts out ... doesn't seem to be a strong amp. I have ordered a Pheonix Gold amp for my S2000 ... IMO a better amp.

I'll repeat it again:

Every high-end amplifier that I have gone out of my way to buy (Hifonics, Soundstream, and Phoenix Gold) has had to be repaired. The high-end amplifiers I have owned were never very dependable. For my S2000 I wanted a common, clean, inexpensive amplifier... so I bout 2 MRV-1507 amps... super powerful, clean, simple... and cheap. $499 each. 1500 max watts.

To each their own... but no more exclusive high-end automotive amplifiers for me.
