[QUOTE="Acid, post: 188546, member: 547330"] Hi guys, It seems that 5 channel amps aren't that popular. Is there a reason why? Are there any disadvantages using a 5 channel amp like a Alpine MRV-F450 V12 5 Channel Amplifier? these are the specs: - 50 watts RMS x 4 + 200 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms - 60 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms + 200 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms - 120 watts RMS x 2 + 200 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode - 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-channel output - Tri-Way capable - requires 4-gauge power and ground leads — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier - Bass Engine® features: - front and rear channels have variable 50-200 Hz high-pass/low-pass crossovers, 12 dB/octave - sub channel has a 30-200 Hz low-pass crossover, 12 dB/octave - selectable (15 Hz or 30 Hz) subsonic filter on the sub channel - tuned Bass EQ (6 dB bass boost at 50 Hz with adjustable Q factor, while frequencies below 30 Hz are cut by 6 dB) on the sub channel - MOSFET power supply - STAR Topology (minimizes internal noise and prevents ground interference) - oversized power and ground connections - gold-plated screw terminals - top-mounted controls with cover - detachable front cover - blue power LED - 16-9/16"W x 2-3/8"H x 11-13/16"D (depth is 10" with front cover removed) [/QUOTE]
