2 Channel Amp Pick

[Matt_83 10+ year member]

Hey, I'm new to this whole thing, and I'm in the market for a new 2 channel amp. I've narrowed it down to the Alpine MRV-T320 and the Kenwood KAC-7201. I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about either of these amps, or for that matter, anything about the quality of the amps these companies produce. Thanks.

i would go with the alpine but I think it costs more than the kenwood

They're pretty close in price. The MRSP for the alpine is like a hundred bucks more, but at the stores they're both the same.

Go alpine.I have never been high on kenwood stuff esp the amps.

Thats what i'm leaning towards. I just found out that Kenwood doesn't rate any of their audio equip. in RMS, they just do the max power thing, so that made me wonder. I'm likin the looks of the new alpine mrv-450.
