Experts (Glass, Jon): JBL, Kicker, or Alpine
|
Bronze Member Username: MattellermetsDanville, IL US Post Number: 28 Registered: Sep-04 | I will be running the Kappa Perfect 6.1 components for my front stage, I am wanting to know the quality/differences of these 3 amps to run them. BTW my deck is Alpine's CDA-9815, actually just bought it earlier today, along with two Shivas. I am not sure if there are possible connectability features from the 9815 to the MRP-F240. Are the 2004 decks (like the 9835) and 2004 amps the only compatible models? Anyone with experience with these, please help. perfect 6.1 power handling: 100W RMS, 400W MAX *Alpine MRP-F240 ($125.55 new) -RMS: Bridged 4 ohms : 100W x 2 (0.3% THD) -MAX: Bridged 4 ohms : 360W x 2 *Kicker KX200.4 ($129.95 -factory renewed) -100W x 2 into 4 ohms @ 14.4V *JBL P180.2 ($133.65 -open box) -90W RMS x 2 at 4 ohms and of course I will be scanning eBay for deals on them... let me know if you have positive/negative experience with any of the above. thanks |

Damien Rob. Unregistered guest | I have an Alpine MRD-M501 V12 Class D amp alls I can say is... I LOVE IT! Awesome sound quality and features (Digital controls and LCD read outs) from that unit. I purchased the amp from www.etronics.com |

Eclipse8122 Unregistered guest | As far as I know, component and class D doesn't not match. ClassD is mainly for subs, an class a/b would be a much better match. Kicker, JBL then Alpine IMO, but try to listen to it b4 you buy it, sound quilty is subjective. Good Luck |

Bronze Member Username: MattellermetsDanville, IL US Post Number: 29 Registered: Sep-04 | so bridging channels multiplies distortion then? i didnt know that... cool though. the p180.2 will look nice next to the bp600.1...  just two twin hunks of black metal |

Bronze Member Username: MattellermetsDanville, IL US Post Number: 32 Registered: Sep-04 | btw i was reading over the pdf manual, and, interesting fact... the JBL p180.2 and bp600.1 are actually the exact same size, down to the mm. great for a symettrical install, i thought. anyway, next time i rebuild my box, i will definitely do something to emphasize them. |
