Currently planning my audio system. Stuck on which amplifiers to get. I only purchase authorized since I like to support authorized vendors. I like the piece of mind knowing I will have support once it comes to warranty issue. I dont have a huge budget to make these purchases since the wife doesnt understand my need for a quality sound system. These amps will be going in a 2013 Ram with the 8.4" Uconnect system. I am using a Sony XDP-MU110 Digital Link Sound System Factory system upgrade module with cradle for iPhone® or iPod touch® at Crutchfield.com
basically as a LOC to give the amps a rca signal. I already have this installed and it was a steal for 50 bucks. I dont use the ipod dock since the truck already has touchscreen ipod control and such.
I plan to Just run a set of co-ax in each door and my SSA Dcon 12d4 under the rear seat in a Fox Box that is perfect for my install.
So, onto what im thinking: I really like matching amplifiers so the install looks nice. I want smaller sized amps due to this being in a pickup where space in an issue. So I basically stuck with class D amps due to their small size.
Budget: I would like to stay around 400 bucks for both
Im leaning toward the Alpine MRV-f300 and MRV-M500
I like the small size of these. Just wish the F300 was alittle more than 50w per channel but that should be plenty for now. The specs on the M500 are perfect.
Any one have any other suggestions? I have looked at the Pioneer class D's but not sure about their amps since I have never owned one.
I have also looked and the PPI, MB Quart, Soundstream Turantulas, Polks, and so on just not sure of their specs and reliability.
Sorry for the long post but please post up your opinions and recommendations!
