Why start a new topic when we're giving you advice in the other topic you started!?

And why ask for opinions for a Alpine amp when we told you in the other topic you started that JL was better?. Why bother asking!?

i also hae another question, i will pst it in here incase nyguy4u complains some more, i hooke dmy sub up to an ohm meter, and it kept reading between 1 ohm and 2 ohm, should i hook up an amp that can do 2 ohm stable or 1 ohm stable, im deciding between the MRV-1507 and the memphis 1000D?

your a little smart ass.

If you looked at the other post you posted, me.. as well as alot of other people offered you help. And to further that, you never even thanked us for our input.

Again.. to answer your question again, JL is better then Alpine. I would stick with a JL amp, and you can get it cheaper then your offer for the Alpine is. Oh wait, I just offered you help again?. I forgot, I don't do that!!.

Perhaps your new to message boards, but when you ask for help, and you receive it.. a "thanks for the help guys" is in order. Actually, it's not a matter of message boards, but just a matter of common sense and common courtesy. Unfortunately, some people in this world nowadays are just common sense stupid.

no, your the dumb one here!.. your starter post on THIS thread says..

"what do you think an alpine MRV-1507 amp is worth, i now osmeone who has one and wants to sell it to me for 700 bucks canadian, is it owrth, it;s in really good condition"

And I RESPONDED to you by saying that NO, the Alpine is NOT worth it, you'd be happier with a JL!!!. 4 channel or sub amps, JL is better!. What do you not understand about that?.

My god people nowadays are so freakin dumb!!!!!!

That's alot of money then. I've seen the MRV-1507 sell for as low as $250 american. And that's not used or refurbished.. that's new!

First rule of sales, it is always worth $2000 when it was new back in the day, second rule, I saw it new for $500.00 last week at blankety blank blank's store. A 3 year old amp will have drastically dropped in value, I would do a search to see if it good value or not by comparing what the person is asking to what a comparable amp is now worth.

97Neon, what sub(s) do you have, what is the voice coil rating and are they single or dual coils? This will help to determine the amp that will best suit your needs. Both Alpine and JL make good amplifiers, they are designed for different applications and different budgets.

i have a AWT15X 15 inch sub, it;s by audiobahn, it;s dual 2 ohm vooice coils, the only proble is whe i hooked up the ohm meter to it, hoping that it was gonna read 1 ohm, it wad flucating between 1 and 2, someone told me though that it;s because noises in the backround or osmeting will make it change, so thats why im debating on a 2ohm stable amp or a 1ohm stable amp, but poele are saying to get a 1 ohm stable amp, what do you think?

You can go one of two ways with this sub. It is either a 1ohm parallel wired sub or a 4 ohm series wired sub. This means that you should be in the market for a 1 ohm designed and engineered amp or a 2 channel amp that will operate this sub at 4 ohm mono. A class D sub amp is usually more efficient, less wasted power but with a slightly lower ability to control the motion of the driver, the 2 channel will have much more wasted power but have better control of the motion of the driver. Personally I would head the class D mono route.

Jl really isnt better than alpine, but whatever you say. JL is pretty damn overrrated if you ask me, I mean $750.00 far a 12" w7 that will hadle like 1,200 w then the warranty is voided, comon now.

Well.... why would you care about feeding it more watts for. It dosnt need more then listed and you should save money buying a smaller amp anyway. So stop complaining. At this forum we kick off people who are jl haters. Just Kidin lol.

he is right though, jl is overrated and overpriced, im not saying it crap, but for what i does, it sure is overpriced

why not feed it as much power as it can truely take? all i was saying is that JL is okay, its just not what everyone should be raving about. there is plenty of brands that get next to no credability, and they can blow JL away in price, performance, and styling. I really dont like the fact that you have to take the retaning ring off of the sub to install it. i mean it looks clean and all and nice, but its dangerous like that. if you slip with the screwdriver your gonna do alot of damage, not only that without the surround attached all thats keeping the speaker together is the voice coil and pole piece, and if you know like i do thats the most easily destroyed part of the speaker as well as the most important. i really wasnt complaning, i was just stating that alpine is just a better brand overall. im definitely not hatin on sh*t. peace
