Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier
The new V-Power Amplifiers are now "Class D" digital, resulting in huge efficiency without draining your battery or your wallet. Class-D amplifiers provide continuous clean power to your speakers, operating at 80% efficiency far greater than conventional Class A or B amplifiers.
Less is MoreV-Power amplifiers are known for their compact size, but don't underestimate them. Although they have a 40% smaller footprint than other models, they produce the same amount of power as other larger sized models. Get the power you need, even if you have limited installation space like a Wrangler does.
Keep the Music PlayingThe V-Power amplifiers provide reliable, stable thermal performance. They use a new, higher efficiency design to achieve non-stop music playback. A new circuit and heat sink design allows gradual thermal absorption and provides a gentle, almost undetectable power control.
Dual Feedback ModulationDual internal error correction technology – which had previously only been available in the PDX and X-Power amplifiers, is now integrated in V-Power mono amplifiers. The audio input signal is analyzed, compared, and corrected twice dynamically as the signal is processed through the amplifier. The result is amplifiers with the widest frequency response, higher damping factor, and lowest noise in its class.
Exceptionally Simple Sound UpgradeThe V-Power's 4-channel speaker level inputs connect directly to any head unit, without the need for external converters. This makes the V-Power amplifiers ideal for upgrading factory and aftermarket systems. The flush mount controls make for easy installation. The terminal covers conveniently snap-on without the need for additional tools, to protect the wiring connections while creating a clean, finished appearance.
Proven PowerEach V-Power amplifier is tested and comes with an output sheet showing their true actual wattage output.
Remote Control Bass KnobThe MRV-M500 mono block amplifier is compatible with the RUX-KNOB remote bass knob (sold separately). The RUX-KNOB can be used to conveniently adjust bass levels from the dash or console of your Wrangler.
