    Alpine Quality at a Budget Price! Amp Dyno Results Below
    The Alpine MRV-M500 is a tried and true model, first introduced back in 2013. As of December 2019, this amp is still being sold on Amazon despite it's discontinued status. Nevertheless, the amp is one of the top sellers in the mono amplifier category, so I felt compelled to buy one to test on my SMD Amp Dyno. How did it do? Let's find out:4 ohms (Rated 300W) - Tests below at 40Hz332W at 13.93 volts certified to 1% THD332W at 13.93 volts at clipping343W at 14 volts dynamic power2 ohms (500W rated)563W at 13.71 volts certified582W at 13.59 volts at clipping676W at 14.03 volts dynamic powerAs you can see the amp exceeded it's rated power at each ohm load and test. Love to see this!Here are the positives:- Amp exceeds it's rated specifications- Has RCA outputs for connecting another amp- Has high level inputs for use with systems without aftermarket head units- 24dB/oct low-pass crossover- 4ga Power/Ground inputs- 8ga speaker outputs- Plastic end caps snap on without screws or mounting hardware- High end ELNA capacitors 105 degrees CCould be better?- Doesn't include Bass Remote / Cable - available as option- Discontinued - probably won't be available much longer- No subsonic filter - be careful using this amp with subwoofers in ported enclosures- Proprietary IC output drive circuitry making this amp nearly impossible for 3rd party repair techs to fix when it breaksOverall, fantastic amp! I hope my review helps someone.-Dereck from Williston Audio Labs
