hi all! i'm planning on getting a new 4 channel amp to power my front component and rear 2 way speakers. i currently have an alpine HU and have been happy with alpine HU's in the past but have never had experience with any of their other products. i have heard that jbl makes good amps from some friends of mine. i am looking for something that is reliable and has some power. i was looking for something like the alpine mrv-f540 or the jbl gto075.4 any opinions? thanks!

Yea looking at them I think you would be happy with either.. the build quality and power output look fairly analagous.

Personnally, I've never used an Alpine amp but I had a JBL 40x4 for *years* that I thought was out of this world. My first amp, but it was champ I'll tell ya that. =)

I'd go with whichever one you a)like more or b)can get cheaper.

I have a JBL amps and I love it, but I have also heard good things about Alpine amps. Alpine amps seem to have a few more options then JBL, but they also cost a little more. One way or the other you cant lose.

I dunno pimpincavy I looked at those amps at the RETAIL (that 100% blown up figure) is listed at $375 for the JBL and *$650* for the Alpine. That thing is not worth anything near that.

Get the JBL man I bet u could get that thing for waayyy less than the Alpine.. no way you like it any less I promise!

Get the Alpine, just don't pay $650 for it.

::EDIT::

It's $275 on eBay from Ikesound

Alpine is way overpriced. There are plenty of other brands out there that are far superior to Alpine and are a lot cheaper (amplifier wise). But in this comparo, I'd take JBL (they've been in the sound industry for many many years)

I'd go JBL without a doubt. Durable amplifiers, really durable along with the rest of their product line. Save the money man. Go JBL.
