For less than half the price of the Alpine, I could have purchased a Sony Xplod or similar amp with a rated 1000 watts. Which do you think would actually perform better in reality - i.e. outside the BS parameter listed on the box? .....
Just to let you know, MB Quart is one of those companies who DOESN'T lie about their power ratings. They are of similar quality as Alpine. They rate their amps at 14.4 volts of power, and they are rated correctly. Most new amps come with a birth sheet that specify their exact output, which is at LEAST what the box says.
