[QUOTE="CobraGT, post: 1329456, member: 564110"] I'm glad to see this thread. I've got the [B]Type R comps[/B] also and the Alpine HU can't push them beyond the 20 setting. I've been contemplating what to get to push them for the longest time. Almost got the [B]Alpine T220[/B], but I've got to power the deck speakers also. Say what you will, I definitely like sound in the back. And they need the power too. The perfect amp might be the [B]MRV-F345[/B] (75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms @ 14V) which goes for $ 260 on Ebay. However, it's hard not to go with the [B]MRV-F545[/B] (125 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms @ 14V)which goes for $ 330. Even though it might be overkill I still I want it [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif[/IMG] Just hate to have 20 RMS W out of reach. I agree though. My current level is fine, but if there is ever a time I want someone to hear clarity outside the car...I'm out of luck. Or there is a killer song on that I've just got to turn up. I'm reminded it would be nice to be a little louder than the HU will allow! Also I've been contemplating potentially the need for a bigger power wire with the 545. I'm still leaning toward the 345. Maybe once it's time to roll down the windows this summer...I'll be ready to make a selection! In the winter ~22 to 24 Watts isn't that bad. [/QUOTE]
