Hey guys, I'm buying an upgrade for my Alpine MRX-F30 and am looking at one of these three. I'm powering Polk MM front components and rear 6x9's. Using a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X796 HU. I want to buy one tonite or tomorrow. Thanks for all the help.

I don't know if they do rated power, but there is something fishy with ratings done at 16V. Normal car will see about 14V. Even if they do rated power at 16V, I suppose at 14V you will see a quarter less. Not that this won't be enough for most speakers. Any reasons you don't want to keep your Alpine MRX-F30 amplifier? There are newer versions, 4-channel MRX-F35 and MRX-F65 as well as 5-channel MRX-V70. They're supposed to be very good.

it's rated a 13.8 bro

I upgraded all my speakers well except my sub, and they are just a little more power hungry is all. It's a great amp no complaints. Just an excuse to upgrade lol. Anybody interested in a MRX-F30? Lol

I see. I didn't really look into manufacturer's literature. When I googled for "CADENCE ZRS-C9" the first hit was an Amazon.com store web page with a title that says "Cadence Acoustics ZRS C9 600 Watt Peak 16V 4-Channel Class AB Amplifier"
