    Alpine MRV-M500 vs. MRX-M55 Mono Sub Amp ... Any Huge Difference Between the Two?

    Ya i have the 10" JL Audio in a 1.0 sealed box in my truck. So it looks at if the SSF is not a huge factor really either! Looks like for me and my set-up the MRX and the added price is really not needed from what I can tell.

    Alpine MRV-M500 vs. MRX-M55 Mono Sub Amp ... Any Huge Difference Between the Two?

    What does the subsonic filter do? I figured there wouldn't be much difference in the two ther then some extra power.

    Alpine MRV-M500 vs. MRX-M55 Mono Sub Amp ... Any Huge Difference Between the Two?

    So I currently have the Alpine MRV-M500 amp installed in my truck to a single 10" JL Audio W0 Sub. Sounds pretty **** good to me really and am pleased with it so far. But the more I read about the Alpine MRX-M55 models being very comparable to the high end PDX Series amp technology and overall...

    What kind of screw should I use to mount subwoofer to MDF enclosure, also what size?

    This is what I will use ... thanks trumpet ... this option seems like the best all around way go from what I have at many other sites. They say course drywall holds the best .... I think 1" may be fine (between the sub part where the screw goes through, then the small rep-installed gasket, then...

    What kind of screw should I use to mount subwoofer to MDF enclosure, also what size?

    1" inch I think would cause the screw to come out the back side of the wood inside the box ... is that wise to do? I kinda thought 3/4" would be best since the sub mounting area is not more then 1/8-1/4" I would think ... that way you get about 1/2" bite in the wood without it puncturing...

    Amp has X2 - 30amp fuses, should I have a 60 amp fuse in my In-line fuse dist. block?

    I went ahead and just bought the 60 amp fuses. Seems like from what I read online my inline fuse should be at least if not more then what the amps fuse/fuses combine ... so since there is 2x30amp fuses on my amp it only make sense to be running the 60 amp fuse right at my fused distribution...

    Amp has X2 - 30amp fuses, should I have a 60 amp fuse in my In-line fuse dist. block?

    There is ZERO reason not to ... IF that's the correct thing to do!!! I'm not saying I "Don't" want to put in a 60 .... I just don't know if I'm suppose to in this situation. Its a $5 pack of fuses for me ... I am down to leave it at 30 if that's what I should run or buy the 60 amps IF THATS...

    Amp has X2 - 30amp fuses, should I have a 60 amp fuse in my In-line fuse dist. block?

    So does that mean the 30 amp fuse if fine for my changing size of wire? going from a 4awg into a 8 awg. Just need to make sure I am running the correct size fuse in this block for my set-up

    Amp has X2 - 30amp fuses, should I have a 60 amp fuse in my In-line fuse dist. block?

    No the amp is a subwoofer Mono d-class Alpine amp (MRV-M500) powering a 10" JL Audio sub (W0). Should I get the 60amp fuse in this case? Just want to make sure I have the right fuse in the fused distribution block ... I know the amp has the x2-30amp fuses already but I'm sure having this...

    I know its a basic question but I am not exactly sure what screw is the best screw to buy to mount my 10" subwoofer to the new 3/4" MDF enclosure ... also what length is needed as well? Thanks so much for the info ... just want to make sure I buy the correct screw to hold the sub tight to the...

    Amp has X2 - 30amp fuses, should I have a 60 amp fuse in my In-line fuse dist. block?

    I am buying an amp that has Qty. 2 - 30 amp fuses built in .... then about 18 back I currently have a distribution block (4g in 8g out) with an in-line fuse (currently has a 30 amp fuse in it). Should I also have a 60 amp fuse in that in-line distribution fuse holder? Or is the 30 amp that's in...

    Simple Question: What screw do I use to mount a subwoofer to the MDF enclosure?

    I know it's a simply stupid question but I am not 100% sure the best screw that will hold the best for a 10" sub to a 3/4" MDF enclosure. Wood Screws? Drywall Screws? Something else? Also how long should they be??? 3/4" length? more? less? Thanks so much for the info.
