Audioque vs Alpine

[firefighter1225 10+ year member]

I can either amp for the same price, so the question is which amp has the highest quality, reliability, and true rms power? I'm looking for anyone that has had a chance to work with both to give me an honest answer. Sorry I forgot the model #'s, Alpine mrp-m2000 vs. Audioque 2200d.

I have this amp I'm happy with it. I think it puts out around 1200k around there I may be wrong though

Alpine MRP-M1000 (mrpm1000) - Monoblock Car Amplifier, Power Amp - Sonic Electronix

I use to run AQ2200's n loved them. Had one wired at .36 and ran like a champ daily

love my AQ amp. friend has an alpine 500 watt amp and has had no problems. no idea if either do rated, or if they do more than rated

I've owned several of the MRP series amps, and I will say they will do rated at 14.4v and have never failed me. If you can get the MRP-M2000 or the AQ2200 at near the same price, I would say it's mostly up to whether you need the power at 1ohm or 2ohms. If it were up to me, I'd go with the AQ since it will have better resale value and is 1ohm stable, so you have more flexibility down the line.

Yay, no one complaining that I'm biased to AQ this time haha.

With that said everyone is farily right. It would depend on which models your comparing and at what ohm load you need power, but AQ will win out most of the time though.

thats what it boils down to

alpine costs more and is at least rated less wattage, easy decision in my opinion
