Memphis vs Alpine

[ryanbssc29 10+ year member]

These amps will be powering 1 Diamond D6 comp set and one Diamond D6 Coaxial set, 400w rms total.

Alpine: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2460

The reason I'm choosing 75x4 is b.c I figure they will probably put out more power than they say, and I couldnt really find a good 100x4 for a good price (4ohm). Which would you chose b.t these two? Or would you reccomend another one (if so please list it)?

PM Flakko,he has a bunch of USAMP's 75x4 for 200.00 BNIB

that are just as good as those for alot less....with warrenty.

Woofers ETC is unautherized and will not have any warrenty,other than

thier own bogus in-house 1 year warrenty and good luck working with that....

eD 9.4 is also a good deal...

All of these amps mentioned are made in Asia,Korea mostly

and they all cost about the same to actually produce and with the same quality

so why pay the overhead ? Memphis think they make great amps,the MSRP

is proof,but the cost per unit to build is the same as everyone else's FACTOID

so why pay more?

Memphis hands down. I have an old school 1000D powering my subs. Good stuff. Alpine makes good radios. They're amps are sub-par IMO.

Gotta Phoenix Gold ZX475 for my mids/highs....so I don't buy cheap sh*t!!!

There's nothing sub-par about that series of amplifiers.

Prove it.

Come on. Give me the figures. I don't want guesses, or round-abouts, or what you think it costs. I want honest to goodness, straight from Memphis's accounting department cost-per-unit figures aswell as actual cost-per-unit figures for other companies to compare against.
