Yes the alpine 35XX series are very clean sounding amplifiers. I have run the alpine 3544 amplifiers for close to 20 years straight. Not likely to get an amplifier built in todays world to last that long sound this good. Thanks to everyone for your help

I think it is around the 1993 era. I would hope the ring terminal would work if I took the screw right out,then screwed the screw back in through the ring terminal. Also some claim the alpine 3545 amplifier was one of the best amplifiers alpine ever produced. I've listened to the alpine 3544...

Hi, Thanks for the link to the ring terminals .They should fix the problem of getting 4 gauge on each positive and negative terminals. So everything looks to be figured out now. Just for fun though. What would have happened if I had only used one of the negative terminals,and one of the positive...

Hi, The amp is a 2 channel ,class AB stereo amplifier. It has 3 30 amp fuses. When I look at the terminals on the alpine 3545 amplifier. The terminals are so close together that you would never fit all the strands from one 4 gauge wire under one terminal. It looks like only enough room for only...

Does don't split it mean that I'm supposed to run two 4 gauge wires for both the positive terminals on the amp,and another two 4 gauge wires for each of the negative terminals on the amp. Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply,Does that simply mean I spit the end of my positive 4 gauge wire ,and put half of the copper strands on one of the positive terminals,and the other half of the strands from the same 4 gauge wire on the other positive terminal. and do the exact same for the two...

Hi, I purchased a Clarion drx 9255 head unit used. It does not have a wiring diagram on the deck or dc converter to show exactly what each wire is. I do not want to risk hooking it up till I know exactly what each wire is,aka switched power,Main power,ground,remote,etc Better safe than sorry. Thanks

Hi, I purchased an old school alpine 3545 amplifier to have more power than my old school alpine 3544 amp. When I look at the alpine 3545 amp. It has 2 positive screw terminals and 2 negative screw terminals on it. Why is this? Does that mean when I hook it up, I half to use both of the positive...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here are selling new or used precision power phantom P1000.1 amplifiers. If so, what price are you selling them for. Prefer to support you guys here on these forums ,since you guys have been always good to me. Thanks

Hi, Sorry for the late reply,Just getting back in.Lots of great budget amplifiers listed so far, and great info. The more I read the more class D is coming on strong like the old school alpine class AB amplifiers I have been listening for all these years. The only thing I doubt is I will ever...

I see this thread has gotten a little heated and off track. I guess I should'nt have said budget amp and sound quality in the same thread. Just was trying to let everyone that chimed in know I wasn't after a sparkomatic amp or some piece of sh?t amplifier. I know not all amplifiers are created...

Ok, I will scrap the sound quality part of it.

With the 2 channel amplifier I can hook up both my 6012ex subwoofers. at 4 ohm mode. Like I did with my old school hifonics zeus VIII amplifier. Aren't all the class D subwoofer amplifiers mono amplifiers, meaning you can only hook up 1 subwoofer, I would like to not half to bridge the...

I was considering amps like the jbl ,the old ppi phantom 600.2,and the NVX for budget amplifiers and amplifiers in that price range since I am not competeing,and using the ppi 600.2 , 2 channel amp for my front stage,and it sounds very good for class D,and is dirt cheap.I read some people even...

Hi, Is there a certain make and model of class D amplifier that most here agree on . I was hoping quite a few people would chime in with their preference ,and go through all the posts,and see which amplifier kept coming up the most. Thanks
