Alpine MRD M1005

Thought's on this amp? Called around locally and its going for $900CDN and at a store just across the border in the states they are going for $550...

Online @  online car stereo, its going for $309 US, 370CDN, 15 bucks shipping it says after I typed in my address and everything..

You can never go wrong with /////Alpine.

Or its the Hifonics BXi 1606D

Would this be able to power 2 12"s Type R?

the Alpine and the HiFonics will out out about the same amount of power at 1 Ohm.  Either will work just fine.

I don't think that alpines amps are 1 ohm stable. 

yea, i forgot about that.

nope, not stable at 1 ohm........very nice amp, but your paying for the digital read out. 1000rms for the alpine for 309, or 250 for 1600rms with the bx1606.
 
although the alpine is a really nice amp, its a little overpriced when compared to hifonics. Those R's will love the extra power assuming their the new models with the hamr surround.
 
I payed waaaaaaay to much for my amp retail.........
