[QUOTE="Vadude, post: 1248475, member: 564371"] Ok Im looking for one of these two amps, and these two amps only, to push 2 4ohm dvc re8 subs (175 watts rms each). Before anyone looks at me crazy, the reason [B]I can only choose between the two are due to space constraints [/B]on the box Im currently making. Please dont try to convince me otherwise, Ive done the research. With that said my two (and only two) options are 1. Alpine mrp-350 [IMG]http://www.huetcaraudio.co.uk/acatalog/MRP-M350_sml.jpg[/IMG] 200 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms » 350 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms 2. Dei directed audio 600d [IMG]http://images.cardomain.net/products/dei/DEI600D.jpg[/IMG] RMS Power at 2 Ohms 400 W x 1 RMS Power at 4 Ohms 275 W x 1 being 2 dvc 4ohm subs, my wiring options are limited to the 4ohm rms setup of each amp. for the alpine, that makes for 200 watts between the two re8s, or about 100 each for the directed 600d, that makes for about 275 between the two re8s, or about 135 each Now normally I would choose the dei due to its cheap price, quality/reputation, and the fact that it can provide each sub with an additional 35+ watts, BUT the issue of it being refurbished complicates my choice. My questions are this 1. Is the mrd-m350 underrated enough to justify going the alpine route when it comes to powering my subs? 2.does 35 watts per sub even make much of a diiference? 3. does directed even perform the right amount as advertised in the first place, or does it usually go over the rms? 4. How trustworthy are refubished amps from ikesound anyway? 5. To anyone who has seen or actually owned a directed 600d, are its demensions 10 11/16 L x 8 3 /4 W x 2 H exact? Is it really about 8.5 inches ide or is it 10.5 inches wide? And finally, which amp in consideration of those questions would be the best choice and why? help me out fellas, btw, dont let the post count throw you off, Ive been a lurker on here for quite some time [/QUOTE]
