I got a setup how good is this amp?
Well to start off i don't know alot about car audio. But i picked up 2 12" Polk audio subs in a ported box and a Alpine 2/1 channel MRV-T500 it's the V12 series. How good is that amp? The guy told me it's supose to be a 1000 watt amp for 2 ohms. I bought it all from the same guy. Then i picked up so 5 gage wiring from walmart. What do you guys say this setup is worth?

Thanks for the replys the guy said it's a good amp. I bought the polks from him first and hooked them up to my friends amp and they work great they still have that new box smell. The wiring is the cheap Walmart stuff picked it up for $32.99 and a alittle light up red toggel switch. I wasn't about to pay top dollar for 4 gage from Circuit City. They wanted $79.99 plus 25.99 for RCA hook ups. So how many watts is this amp? I am guessing 500 by the name numbers and 1000 when its bridged. Next thing how much would you guys spend for the subs/box and amp? Also what year would you say the amp is? It was that Alpine amp or a 750 watt lighting audio amp.

I own 2 different Alpine V12 mono amps and really like them. They do more than rated RMS power at 14 volts, and they run cool when pushed. Neither one has ever gone into protection mode because of heat.
I own a MRV-100M (200wrms @ 2ohm) I got in '98 and a MRD-M605 (600wrms @2ohm) I got a few months ago.

I got my system finished today it pounds really hard. Bridged the amp i am running 1000 watts. Inside of my jeep it sounds awsome sounds better than my friends kicker L5 12 inch with a 600 watt amp even when he has his back seat folder down in his cavalier. I was really mad my sony explode head unit didn't have RCA hook ups so i bought a higher up Sony with a remote and sub controll. It's a real nice head unit for the money and lights up red to match my jeep better. Last thing to do is hook up a toggel switch to turn the amp off. I am very happy with the system. Total subs/box, amp, 4 speakers, and the head unit i have around $535. I proved to my friends you don't have to spend big bucks to have a good setup.

2 x 50W @ 4 ohms (0.08% THD)
2 x 100W @ 2 ohms (0.3% THD)
1 x 200W @ 4 ohms bridged (0.3% THD)
Output Power at 14.4V (20Hz ∼ 20kHz):
2 X 75W @ 4 ohms (0.08% THD)
2 x 100W @ 2 ohms (0.3% THD)
1 x 300W @ 4 ohms bridged (0.3% THD)
Freq. Response: 10Hz ∼ 50kHz (+0/-1 dB)
S/N Ratio: 100dBA (at rated power)
So how many watts am i running?
