Amp help

[sullione]

Hi all, I need your help in deciding on the final piece of my system. I'm looking at Alpine amps. I want one that will give crystal clear sound and not put the car's electrical system under too much strain. The speakers I decided on were Alpine Type R (SPR-17S fronts and SPR-17C rears). The amps I'm considering are MRP-F450 (70X4) MRP-F550 (90X4) and MRP-F600 (100X4) all at 4 ohms. Keep in mind I'm not looking for anything at the competition level, just clear sound. Also, this will go with a 10 inch Alpine Type R sub in its own box powered by an Alpine MRP-M350 amp. One more thing guys, should I get an Optima battery to aid this system?

none of those amps will strain your electrical, unless its already really bad as it is. if your choosing between those amps, i say go with the f600 as to have plenty of headroom and better dynamics. if you want more headroom, bridge it or the f550 and just power the fronts,(more important anyway) and run the rears off the hu.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think the electrical system of my car is weak...as far as I know. Its an 03 G35 and there aren't any problems that i know of.

yeah you'll be fine. if anything just do the big 3 then see where your at before buying the battery.

Well I plan on doing both (battery and ground kit) now. I got up this morning and my car didn't want to start at first. Its the original battery so its about time for it to be replaced anyway.

If it helps I loved my MRP-M 650 before I upgraded.
