small size, looks good, low price

absolutely terrible power!!! I cant tell much of a difference with it installed!!!

I am very very disapointed with this amp!!! I bought it to push a single 4 ohm fosgate 10" XLC subwoofer, and it just doesn't!!!! I have it bridged to the sub ( so all the so-called 240 watts are to the 10 ) and it barely makes the sub move!!! I have messed with the gains and doesnt really help!!
I am sure Alpine lied about it putting out 240 watts!!!!

i have an MTX Blue Thunder in my other vehicle--it truly rocks compaired to this Alpine!!!!

If your cds are recorded well and the bass is up front than this amp is suffice, especially for under 150.00 Some of the other reviewers are a little off on the specs. This amp bridged is 120 watts rms @ 14.4 volts. If it were at the higher rated power of 12 volts it would only rate at about 80 watts rms. Half of my cds sound great with this amp and half don't I believe mostly due to the limited recording of bass on many Hard Rock cds. I use this amp just to power my Alpine 10'' box. It'll do till I can afford something better. At least its never overheated like some of the more expensive amps I seen reviewed.

Wish it had 50 watts more power (oh well) to drive my 10'' 200 watt rms Alpine sub. They also could have added a subsonic filter..HaHa...

Overall I had no complaints from this amp the 3 months I had it. Again if you look at what you pay for it as long as it does the job till you can buy a real amp then its done its job. Also you won't take such a beating selling it used because you didn't pay much anyway. I feel for the amount it cost its great to power a 8'' or 10'' sub. Also if you listen to Rap, I mean crap, this is a great sub amp. My kids like R&B and Rap and it pounds out the bass on those tracks (because Rap tracks are made to over-emphasize the bass response. Enjoy....

I rewally didn't try anything else when I purchased this. I was however looking at cheap amps in catalogs.

size, ease of install

poor quality, put out less power than stated...this

i purchased the amp because the speakers i have werent being pushed by my head unit. this amp made no difference at all. if anything, the quality of the signal was worse. i adjusted the gains from one end to the other and it was still bad. i would recommend the v12, but the flex is a poor product

mtx pro50x2..the mtx blows the alpine away..no comparison

Fairly good amp, powerful for what you pay.
Good starter amp for average person for 1 8-10" sub or 2-4 speakers.

Sure doesn't seem like advertised 240 watts into 4-ohm mono load!
More like 150 watts. Crossover is not quite sharp enough for hi-fi listening.

Paid $150 canadian. Recomended due to good amp and enough power for a cheap price. Drives 4 speakers well, with fairly good SQ. A bit small to drive subs. Maximum 1 4-ohm 10" subwoofer or a pair of 8" subs.

Phoenix Gold XS2200 (this amp blows the alpine amp away!, but expect to pay $$$ for it!)

Low price for power output. Clean sound. Drives my sub really well.

weird gain control

Great buy. 120 to drive a sub is a great deal. No distortion. I have it bridged and hooked up to my 10" MTX 8000. It hits really hard and doesn't dim the lights. (i have a 55 amp alternator). Good if you just want to add one sub to take the distortion out of your speakers.
