Opinions on these amps I'm eyeing

[CrackerTeg]

Audio gurus, ::cough:: Tim ::cough::, what do you guys think of these two amps I'm eyeing right now? I spotted them for cheap as hell and I'm not pushing anything crazy. I want to replace the freebie amp I have pushing my Kicker L5 and plan on upgrading the interiors so for now, the MRP-M350 will get used while the MRP-F240 will sit for a bit while I gather funds for interior speakers. Thoughts?

Alpine MRP-M350

200 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (350 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)
low-pass filter (50-200 Hz, 24 dB/octave)
variable Bass EQ bass boost (0-12 dB at 50 Hz)
subsonic filter (15 Hz)
MOSFET power supply
preamp- and speaker-level inputs
blue power LED
extra-large gold-plated terminals
8-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
9-3/16"W x 2-7/16"H x 9-9/16"D00 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (350 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)
low-pass filter (50-200 Hz, 24 dB/octave)

subsonic filter (15 Hz)
MOSFET power supply
preamp- and speaker-level inputs
blue power LED
extra-large gold-plated terminals
8-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
9-3/16"W x 2-7/16"H x 9-9/16"D

Alpine MRP-F240

40 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms
50 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms
100 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms

4-ohm stable in bridged mode
Tri-way capable (Tri-Way crossover required)
requires 10-gauge power and ground leads — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
selectable high-pass/low-pass crossover at 80 Hz, 18 dB/octave (2 separate crossovers, one for channels 1 & 2, another for channels 3 & 4)
subsonic filter at 15 Hz for channels 3 & 4
tuned Bass EQ (0-12 dB bass boost at 50 Hz) for channels 3 & 4
preamp outputs
MOSFET power supply
STAR Topology (minimizes internal noise and prevents ground interference)
speaker- and preamp-level inputs
gold-plated screw terminals
10-1/2"W x 2-7/16"H x 9-9/16"D

They're pretty good amps for the money.  I installed a set in Arie's car and they sounded pretty good.

[CrackerTeg]

Those are the amps Arie's running? Good to know.

[timot_one]

Not the exact same amps, but the same line of amplifiers.

[CrackerTeg]

Very sweet. I'll post up once I get them.

[CrackerTeg]

Well, now that I won these, I can say I picked up the pair of amps for $130 shipped. Ebay scores FTMFW!

Here's the link to the ended auction if you guys want to check it out:

Good upgrade.  Good luck with the install man.

[CrackerTeg]

Thanks man. Now I got to find me some deals on interior speakers, cook up an idea for the amp mounting to maximize trunk space, and then make a FG box for the Kicker sub.

[CrackerTeg]

Installed the MRP-M350 yesterday afternoon and let me tell you that its like my sub came to life. Half gain is rattling the shit out of my trunklid whereas my old freebie Alpine amp was barely filling the low end at nearluy full gain. I'm throughly happy with this purschase. Like I said before, now I gotta find some deals on interior speakers.
