Zimm, thanks for the insight but unfortunately it's too late. I've heard nothing but good stuff about the amp I purchased. Hopefully I won't have the problems you've had.
That's what happens when you show up late - you end up talking bad about someones girlfriend.
Don't worry. I have owned many Alpine amps for a reason; they are the best all-around product provider out there. I was just really disappointed in the power of my last two (which I still use every day.) I have not tried any of their newer designs. Either way, the upgrade over factory will blow you away.
Enjoy.
