Price Paid:  $400.00 from a friend in 2003

 Alpine V12 MRV-T 757

Strengths:
The paramatic eQ and +12db really enhances the expeirience. Will and wants to be driven hard. This is what they designed it for. Bang for the buck its a steal.

Weaknesses:
I will leave this blank just like my mind is in this box.

Summary:
This is a great amp for any one that wants it to be loud. I have the "Focal SB 30 A1" if you never heard of focal, you need to get informed. This amp gives it more than enough clean smooth bass. It never let me down for 4 years i had it and still going strong as i continualy push it. I'm thinking of selling but finding it very hard to part with. It would have to go with the sub, they are perfect for each other. I'm thinking this is a perfect amp for mid bass with a pair of good quality 8". After many years this amp had been made, it still looks better than almost all amps going today in its division. I never ran in a compotion although everyone said i should so that has to say something for only one 13" sub and the Alpine V12 MRV-T 757 to turn that amount of heads. Like everyone is saying, whow knows how many true watts i'm getting? The proof is in the pounding. Alpine has always had a footprint in this industry and not too long ago was on top of the food chain.

Strengths:
Smooth, clean, loud bass. Good EQ setup. Almost never shuts off.

Weaknesses:
Gets a little hot to the touch, but why would you touch a hot amp anyway?

Summary:
Well when i came into the car audio scene, the first amp i bought was a bazooka. Well that bazooka blew both my sub and itself. I looked on eBay, which is where i get most of my stuff from, and saw this amp. Well i knew alpine was good, and i wanted a 2 channel amp, so i bought it. I didnt know the specs on it, when i found out i was like "aww i got a wussy amp!". when i wired her up, the subs i had hooked up blew me away. Even in my acura, it thumps the night away. It has only shut off once on me, which was on a road trip and my trunk was already about 100 degrees. Anyway, i had it tested at a local audio shop, and this amp is highly underrated. It put out 150% of what it was rated for at 13v. This amp is simple to use, and puts out huge sound for small bucks.

Strengths:
I get it so hot you cannt touch it, and it dosnt embarase you by shuting down when you want to show off. Ive been in the audio buis. for 13 years and this amp has to be ONE of the very best for the money by far

Weaknesses:
Don't be an idiot by buying cheap no name woofers with 20-90oz magnet wieghts that say 500-1000 rms or max with the 757 amp. Once you over power the magnets, thats it, your $80 junk speakers are now needing to be replaced, because you distorted the he!! out of them or smoke check them. If you going to play big you better pay big to be big

Summary:
I am currently running the amp with one 12" sub (Orion HCCA) which is dual voice coil. Each coil is 2ohm's and I have it bridged, so the speaker is now 1ohm. All amps see half of what you give it, so with that in mind I have been running this anp at a 1/2 ohm load for over a year now and I consider this thing to be my red headed step child! lol, I beat the he!! out of it and my $500+ speaker is getting worked something fearce! If you can find one get it and get a 1-2 farad stiffining cap along with it you will need it. oh and atleast 4 guage power wire or you (may) pop fuses
