Almost bought one of these back in the day. Might have been fun for a bit. Suprisingly beefy components, although like n8 said, about half as much as it needs.

2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

Yup, missing parts... My DAT 2500 has about 3 times as much shit jammed in its case.

Just looking at the inside, doesn't look like it would do 5500w. But then again the MRP-2000 doesn't look like its suppose to do 2250

Alpine tends to user high-output MOSFETs and other components and makes up for the subsequent ripple with larger than normal, high quality capacitor banks. Still a cheap way to make an amp do rated power cleanly, but that's just Alpine's thing.

EDIT: Sorry, ignore me.. Don't wanna derail this thread.

I'm gonna hate

Thats because that amp is 5500 watts peek..... that amps at 1ohm is only rated at 3200 watts rms

peak means nothing. and this amp is overrated. you'd be super lucky to get like 1800w out of it, as has been discussed before

i don't understand why people say peak rating means nothing.. in the case of a sine wave it is double the rms wattage so it goes mean something.. and the rms rating is derived from the peak rating

because its a made up number. ever notice how 99.999% of amps' peak power is exactly twice the number of the given rms figure? once you go past the effective output of the amplifier, the sine wave flattens out. aka clipping, which is the #1 destroyer of all speakers.
