SayWhaa?

Im looking into getting some subs again since i blew my type r's... im looking to get a 12" type x and now looking into buying the MRP-M2000 amp... anyone got any thoughts on this new amp alpine put out?

Notladstyle

its a decent amp, regulated but probably doesn't put out anywhere near 2kwatts except in optimal conditions.

SayWhaa?

what ya mean?

I'm pretty sure that amp doesn't have a regulated supply? Care to elaborate Dalton?

Anyways I don't see why it wouldn't bench 2kw on a solid electrical, Alpine makes good stuff.

PS: It's been proven the Type-Rs are louder than the Type-Xs.

ooo thats good to know, do you know the site where the proved this at?

There's really no site, just reading from peoples personal experiences..... the TL speaks for it's self. The Type-X is is just a better overall speaker. But TL wise the Type-R is the favorite.

got cha, i had 2 type r's and they sounded good im just leaning towards the type x now for something different.

I don't know that many people with Type-X's....but i just really cant see how the Type-R is better than the X's

The Type X's are amazing, we did one in a sound 5.1 SQ Audi S4 and it was very clear...it was on a PDX1000, but still. I've never been very Impressed with the Type R's. The MRP line deffinatly isn't regulated (which means it puts out optimal power no matter what the voltage going into the amp is) A general rule is the less voltage an amplifier can get the less output is created. for example an amp tested at 14.4 volts to make 2000 watts is only drawing 13.6 volts so its only making 1600 watts of true power. Regulated amps are able to create that 2000 watts no matter what the input voltage is, usually down to around 12Volts as JL Audios Regulated slash series is.

Usually I would go by the more regulated CEA standard which says the amp only does 1,500 wattsx1 at 4 ohm. The CEA system is alot more reliable than anything else, but as they said earlier, unless ur holding a true 14.4 volts, it wont even be that much out of the amp.
