Alpine PDX-1.1000

Nice amp

Nice output for such a small footprint. Often when a reputable product receives some negative feedback its usually the fault of the end user & not the product. This is the case with a previous review here. The fact that his volume is half way & his woofers are blowing dust caps tells me that the gain is set incorrectly. In the chase for bass, he is using the gain as a volume control & has abused his speakers more than once. If he is not getting output then he should be looking at his enclosure & not set the gain so high as to send over a 1000 watts of a clipped signal = death for subs. Alpine has rated this amp @ 1000 watts of clean signal, unlike cheap & nasty brands quoting big numbers worth of dirty signals. 1000 Alpine watts = 3000 watts dirty cheap & nasty brand signal. It's a nice decent amp!

Very nice

I currently own one of these babies and its more powerful than it looks. I had it hooked up to one alpine type X 12" and it blew it. This amp really kicks. Very good buy.

Very good.

Very nice little amp. Amazing how much power you get from this little thing, but be aware, it gets SUPER hot.

Great amp

This is a great amp. The thing that is cool about it is that it is so small. Also that it is 4 ohm and 2 ohm stable at 1000 watts for both. It also looks really clean. Especially when it is next to a cap. I recommend this amp if you are low on space.

Ok, I'm deaf. Now what?

Typical, excellent Alpine quality. Tiny size for what it does. Loads, loads and even more loads of accurate, low distortion power output. I use a 2.0 farad capacitor to hold the voltage constant and the only time I see dimming of lights is with the engine off. After running my system for a short while with the engine off, the voltage drops and the capacitor shuts itself down, then the current draw becomes very dependant on the car's battery and sound quality starts to fail as the amp starts to 'clip'

Other than that detail, which is not the amp's fault, it is an amazing beast that can literally lift the dust off of my seats and put it into a visible cloud in the air.

My other car has a 600 x 1 alpine class D running 2 JL audio 10's in a sealed box. It has tight accurate nice sounding bass. This car uses 2 Kicker 12" solobaric L5's in a sealed box. The 12" sqaure speakers have 3.7 times the surface area as the 10's. Couple that with 1000 watts of power and the difference in sound is night and day. The bass is still pretty tight, but it is much deeper and MUCH louder. With my other system, I turn it up until it distorts, then back it down a little. With this system, I rarely turn it up that high becuase it hurts my ears, gives me a headache and makes me slightly dizzy and nauseated.

Awesome

I bought this amp from here and I've been running it for about a day in my car. I'm currently pushing two 12w3's with this and it works great. If you can afford this it is well worth the money.

amazing

This amp is wonderful unfortunately my alpine 15'' could not handle the power so if you hear something about an alpine sub type-r 15'' 4ohm and how it can take more than what it is rated I would not trust it! mine lasted about 3-4 weeks. But the amp is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone! its a champion and my personal opinion it is better the the JL Audio 1000/1 amplifier!

alpine pdx 1000.1

This amp is a big punch in a small package.,when first introduced to us i kinda laughed but then i remembered nacamichis amp long time ago, and i was like wait a minute let me try it . I have installed 2 3 and 4 subs off of it and doesn't give up. My brother actually has two in his Tahoe pushing 6 15's mtx's moves them like nothing. I would really recommend all the pdx line from the reg 4 channel to the 5 channel and the bad boy the 1000.1 you'll be surprised and satisfied!!!

Small AND powerfull!!

This compact amp is everything you could ask for and more. At first you would think by just looking at it that this is just a boring amp. However, this amp has a secret weapon, and that is it's amazing 1000 watt rms at 4 ohms capability. It does great at high temps for quite a while. I have only had it overheat on me three times and each time I knew I was pushing it too had for too long (2 hours on full). Have this beast hooked into a 1000 watt rms 4 ohm 2000 watt max Rockford fasgate 15" T2 in my 2006 scion TC and you can literally hear me comming from miles away. Best amp I have ever bought!

Not to shabby for a little guy!

First off, APPLAUSE to Alpine for such a fine product! Self polarizing quick connects, no ohms law (same power @ 2 and 4 ohms) which makes sub matching a breeze, and in a layout smaller than a sheet of printer paper!!! KUDOS!!! ( 1197@ 4 ohms! )

The only bad thing I have to say about this amp, which really isn't that bad for the the performance, is the price. Don't get me wrong, Sonic has outstanding prices. I noticed then when I was setting the gain controls on the amps and the V-power is definitely pushing more! Just compare the fuse ratings and the PDX is drawing 20 less amps!
