Alpine V12 MRV-F450 5 Channel Amp?
I don't really know a lot about audio components, but i wanted to know peoples' opinion. I want to get an amp... preferablly a 5 channel, FL,FR,RL,RR, Sub...the reason is that i just want something small that doesn't use up a $hit load of space. But my friend told me that 5 channel amps suck...you be better off buying one 4 ch and one mono ch amp...what do you guys think?
The spec for the alpine MRV-F450 look "below average (power)" compared to other brands, but their price is just as high. Anyone have comments or opinion on Alpine amps?
thanks for your help

What speakers are you planning to run off the amp? That really determines what power you'll need.
I have the Helix Precision HXA-500Q, make by Brax and it is one high-class amp. It gives me 60 watts to the doors which feels like 100, near ear-bleeding sound.

Would this fit by any chance in the STOCK Amp Space ?

in my opinion, alpine amps are one of the cleaner sound producing amps in the market. yup, they don't have a lot of power 35w/ch, 40w/ch...i think they came out with one that has 60w/ch now. but they're wattage are true watts....meaning not over rated. again, imo, i would get a separate amp for the 4 speakers and a mono amp for the sub. there's a lot of space to put the amps in our cars. the sidewalls are a perfect place for them.

Re: Amp in Factory Space
Any Pics by any chance of your Work ? I want to see what I'm up against.

mostlikely not. the bose amps are real small. if you get an aftermarket amp, you'll have to put it somewhere else. the stock amp is behind the lining behind where the jack is stored. it's screwed in to a vertical bracket. what i did was put my aftermarket amp on top of the jack holder (supported by screws screwed to the metal frame) and put the jack with the spare tire in spare tire well. besides, an aftermarket amp will need more air space to breath. and where the bose amp is, it's confined in a small enclosed area.

How is the driver side amp rack mounted? I had trouble finding a secure way to secure mine. I bolted the front below the cargo net hook/button. But there is nothing in the rear.
