Right on alpines website
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.
Overview
Class-D
1/2 Channel Operation
Stackable Installation Design
RMS Power (at 14.4V THD+N, 20-20kHz)
Per channel into 4 ohms: 75W x 4 (0.08% THD)
Mono channel into 2 ohms: 300W (20-200Hz) |
well then, i wasnt aware that this amp could do both 2 and 4 ohm simultaneous operation. i dont mess with 5 channel amps often, so i assumed they were similar to 4 channels, in that if you run any channels at 2ohm, then the rest will run at 2ohm.
anyway, either way, if you go with a 2 ohm or 4 ohm 10W3V3 it will get 300 watts regardless, so to the OP, buy whatevers cheapest.

as for JL, i agree that they are overpriced, but you cannot beat their efficiency in most cases. the XD700/5 retails for 599, versus the PDX5 which retails for 649. the XD700 on al & eds comes with a full manufacturer warranty for 450 versus a grey market PDX5 on amazon for 400...i would honestly go for the JL model, as its smaller, and has more power with a warranty
