Alpine S-A60M S-Series Class D Mono Amplifier

Best mono ampGreat thump and sound quality

Ive had this amp for about 4 years now. It does get a little hot, but works like a dream! Lots of power in a small amp.

I use this amp to drive a single Alpine 12" sub, and it does an extremely good job. I have the volume at maybe 65% and it's still crazy powerful at max volume. The thing I love most about this amp is that, when you're paying for Alpine quality, it just works. It's on the pricier side in comparison to other mono amps, but I haven't had a single issue with it since installing it over 2 years ago and putting it through pretty heavy use every day. Just make sure you get a hefty wiring kit that can handle the kind of current this amp needs to really push your sub.My one gripe is that it didn't include a remote - you have to purchase one separately for $30. It's worth it, but it's a bit of an annoyance.

When I first seen this amp I thought it was small due to compact size but it’s worth it. Easy to setup and easy to hide heavy 600w

Have this powering 2 12inch alpine subs and the rms match perfect for the set up.. but after 30 mins it heats up and shuts down...Doesn't produce that great of bass while it's working...buying something better.UPDATE!!! I BOUGHT JBL 1000watt amp and it's worse then this lil alpine!!! Less bass and misses notes.. also clips the sub turned up!!! Putting the alpine back in... it was better

Rated at 600 watts at 2 Ohms, my test sheet shows 726 watts of total output. Pretty good! This is a no-frills amp- no subsonic filter, no clipping light, and the bass knob is extra, but it's easy to set up, mostly. It doesn't have speaker inputs, so you have to get RCA adapters. The most important thing this amp has is clean, powerful sound. It does not color the bass like some amps do. I had 2 other amps in this general wattage range- the first sounded weak and kinda flat, and the other made my sub sound muddy. The Alpine just gives strong, unfiltered bass to my IDMAX 12", and really made it come alive. And for the current price, it's impossible to do better. I've had Alpine amps in the past and liked them, so I'm not sure why I strayed. But I'm glad to be back in the family because the sound quality is top notch. *edit* For a tuning tip, get your gain and x-over set to where you like it, with the bass boost at zero. I then turned the bass boost up 1 notch, and reduced the gain just a tad, and that really made my older music come alive. Give that a try if your music from the 80's and older doesn't kick like the newer stuff does.

Best amp gives all the power my subs can take

Ordered this amplifier "new". Once I got it in the mail, the box was beat up in the corners, the amp was missing the plastic bag that it comes in and showed signs of being previously mounted. The bag of screws was torn open and screws had been used. Another big tell was that there were wire trimmings stuck in the terminals that were cinched all the way down.Alpine absolutely does not ship product out in this condition.Buyer beware.
