I have never used the Alpine MRP m1000 but what happened is my buddy took his amp in (RD 850.1) and the shop wrecked it so they paid for his whole install ($210) and gave him an Alpine MRP m1000 in exchange for the wrecking the RD one.
Here is the question: He is getting a 15" Sonance from me but it is a dual 2ohm sub. Is this model of Alipne ok to run @ 1ohm or will it fry? He may have to try to sell it or something so he can still run the 15"......as 4ohm isn't going to be too special with this set up..
No they fried it a few days ago in the install bay and he's spoken with a few people and finally the manager was in and made it right.
They didn't have to give him his money back for the install ($210 back) so I would think having the install done for free (wire as well) and a replacement amp being given is not to bad of a deal over a blown amp.
I agree they should have at least gave him an amp he could use. Theres acually a place by me that would do stuff like that on purpose,but they would Tell u your amp or subs were no good,just to get you to buy the stuff they have.
lol, no its a local shop. They ran all my wires,built a nice box an amp rack.They told me my amp didnt work and that they had the perfect amp for me. So i took it home to check it out an the power wire wasnt even hooked up to it. Idk, guess they thought i was retarded an was just gonna buy a $500 amp without checking.
BestBuy fried an amp of mine and said it wasnt their fault.
the problem was that the power wire to the battery terminal was barely screwed in and kept coming out while i was driving. i guess a loose power wire wont screw up an amp
Where the hell do they find these people!? Sucks for me cause im not very good at building boxs an such and i never have time to get good cause im always working. So when i need something done only idiots are available!
Thing is they have NO amps that are 1ohm stable he got pretty much the best/powerfull amp they have....Im sure he can sell it and at the end of the day still come out ahead.
