Alpine amps
ok i have the chance to buy 2 used alpine V-12 power amps cheap. they are the older models.
model numbers are:
MRV T-500
MRV F-400.
anyone have the specs for these? and are these a good amp? i know alpine amps are good but im not to familiar with these older ones.
also, what about the Rockford Fosgate Punch 40 series amps? how much do they kick out? i might be able to get 2 of those also.

Don't know about the RF 40 series, but always heard good things about RF
the Alpines will be a great replacement for your jensen
A few years ago me and a friend both built systems for our cars, and used the same woofer, in a band pass box
I had an Alpine 120w amp, and he had a Jensen 200w
he could just BARELY out thump me-for about 1 minute
then his amp would overheat and shut down
never once did mine do that

always good to hear alpines are doin good. but dont get me wrong, i pounded my jensen to death. it was ran down to 1 ohm for about 30 mins and still kept thumpin. i used it to power 2 subs and then finally my speakers but its still goin after a yr and 1/2. but i noticed 2 outta the 4 channels fade out sometimes and i think one is pretty much trashed.

yeah I realize that was just my personal experience
and lots of people prolly love Jensen
I don't trust them myself
Jensen also owns many different brands
those RFs you're talkin about are prolly pretty nice too
no personal experience, but they should be comparable to the Alpines
