Gut-busting power and exacting control — that's what you get with Alpine's V12 AccuClass-D mono bass amplifiers. These unique amps convert the incoming signal to digital format, process the information, and then convert the signal back to analog at the output stage. The result — more clean power with more control!
The MRD-M1000 amplifier feeds your 4-ohm sub with a massive 500 watts RMS (1,000 watts with a 2-ohm load). Its built-in digital signal processor controls Bass Engine® features with surgical precision, giving you a level of fine-tuning capability previously found only in Alpine receivers:
you can adjust the subsonic filter from 15-50 Hz (in 5 Hz steps) to eliminate ultra-low bass which your sub wastes energy trying to reproduce;
you can use the digital parametric EQ (which allows you to control the width of the equalization curve, as well as the center point) to improve overall sound;
you can fine tune time correction, phase, and 3-level bass compensation to maximize the quality of your bass.
The Bass Compensator uses Alpine's MediaXpander (used in their receivers to optimize playback of compressed media files) to enhance low-end definition of the amplifier's output. Monitor the temperature, voltage, and current levels using the digital readout.
Alpine's digital technology ensures extraordinary clarity. The efficient Class-D design lets your music sound like thunder without wasting a lot of energy as heat, while the lightning-fast MOSFET power supplies keep your music roaring with life.
The MRD-M1000 has a set of preamp outputs for easily getting signal to another amplifier. The extra-large gold-plated wiring terminals will let your bass really hit, since larger-sized power and speaker wires let the power move more efficiently into and out of the amp.
