About the Alpine MRP-M1000
V-Power amplifiers deliver the sound quality that made Alpine famous. Highly efficient power supplies housed in sleek black casings guarantee that these amps stand out in performance and appearance. The thermal management system dissipates heat and saves power, so your V-Power amp will run reliably for years to come.
The Alpine MRP-M1000 mono amplifier drives your subwoofer system with up to 1,000 watts RMS — enough to satisfy the hungriest bass setup. The low-pass filter puts you in command of the frequencies that reach your subs, while the variable bass boost is armed with plenty of low-end punch. A subsonic filter prevents wasted energy by eliminating ultra-low bass, putting all the power where you need it.
Preamp- and speaker-level inputs allow you to connect this amp in almost any vehicle. Let a V-Power amplifier transform the sound of your car's audio system.

Product Research
Features
Power Supply: The MRP-M1000 amplifier's power supply uses MOSFETs to convert DC battery voltage to the higher DC voltages needed for high power. It supplies positive and negative voltages around 0V, rather than around 6V as with conventional single-polarity power supplies. The result is higher power levels and a dynamic range wider by as much as 10dB.
Inputs: The amplifier offers both line-level and speaker-level inputs for 2 channels. The supplied speaker-level input harness allows you to connect this amplifier to a receiver without preamp outputs; aftermarket or factory. The speaker level inputs will accept the output from a high powered radio.
Terminal Covers: The amp comes with two plastic covers that protect and insulate the RCA, power, and speaker connections. Four supplied machine screws attach the covers to the amplifier.
Controls
Low Pass Filter: The amp is equipped with a 50-200Hz variable low-pass filter with a slope of 24dB/octave. This being a mono subwoofer amp, the crossover is always engaged.
Subsonic Filter: This amp utilizes a subsonic filter at 15Hz to eliminate super low frequencies that can rob power and damage speakers. The subsonic filter operates at all times, and cannot be turned off.
Bass EQ: The Bass EQ circuit provides a variable boost (0-12dB) at 50 Hz.
Connections
Left Side Of Amplifier:
- GND (ground): gold-plated set screw terminal, accommodates bare wire up to 4 gauge
- Battery: gold-plated set screw terminal, accommodates bare wire up to 4 gauge
- Remote: gold-plated set screw terminal, accommodates bare wire up to 8 gauge
- Speaker Output: gold-plated set screw terminal, accommodates bare wire up to 8 gauge
Note: Alpine recommends 4 gauge power and ground wire (minimum).
Right Side Of Amplifier:
- Line Inputs: 1 pair of gold-plated stereo RCA jacks
- Speaker Level Input: Molex plug input for supplied 4-pin harness

This amp is super bad. I'm pushing 2 Alpine 1242D type R's in a sealed box. After i hooked up the amp and subs and turned it on, I could not believe how hard the subs where pounding. I would recommend this amp if you want some serious hard hitting sounds. It's worth the money. Thanks Troy !
