Great Amp |

I have this PDX-1000 amp wired to two Alpine Type-X 12's and it hits so hard you could easily damage your ears at 75% volume. I've got two tickets so far for noise violations and had to use epoxy to keep the rearview mirror attached. The subs are mounted in single ported boxes, and I had to upgrade the alternator to 120 amps and add a Tsunami 2-farad cap and 4- gauge wire kit. I could max out the subs with another PDX-1000 but I don't want to go deaf!

I just bought this amp recently to power two Alpine Type R's and honestly this is rediculous bass. i had my friends RF p1000bd amp pushing them before i got this amp just to test it and this amp hits louder and a heck of a lot cleaner than the RF. I was bassing for about 2 and a half hours after i got this amp and hooked it up, and after reading the reviews here i was worried how hot it was going to be and after touching it, it wasnt even warm. This amp is awesome for pushing 1000 RMS at 4 ohms. definitly a great buy. ALPINE ALL THE WAY

Honestly i was pretty unimpressed with this amp and subs. I bought 2 of them, the alpine pdx 1000, and hooked them up to 2 alpine type X 12's. Spent $4,000. I used to have 2 fosgate T1 subs hooked up to a bd 1000 fosgate amp, and they hit twice as hard, for a third of the cost. Granted the alpine is a bit clearer in sound quality, but u sacrifice most of the bass. I would rather have my Fosgate's back. I think even my boat hits about as hard as the alpines and I only have a cheap flea market Audiobahn 12 in it with like 400 watts. Unless you are going for 150% optimal sound clarity, and have a ridiculous amount of money to blow, I would buy Fosgates, they hit harder and up until this Alpine system , I only bought Fosgate. If you want a system that sounds good and hits hard, buy the Fosgate Titanium series subs and a Fosgate amp. I dont work for Fosgate, nor really care to promote it, I just know what sounds good from experience.

i purchased this amp to power 2 kicker L7s, It is fairly loud for the price and footprint, but i expected more. After listening to music for about an hour the outside of the amp is 2 hot to touch, not sure the temp of inside. i am not sure how these amps can be stackable or hidden in small concealed compartments when it runs this hot after only an hour.

Overall a nice amp. Requires lots of clean power (obviously) and produces a decent sound stage. Not the best for SPL or SQ but a great middle of the road solution. i love the size . . . . don't be fooled these do get hot- VERY. Make sure you have plenty of room for cooling. Also, you have to turn the gain way up to get the power you want. I am greatly concerned that I may be overdriving the amp. As you can see in other reviews below, this seems to be a common issue. Most amps (including this one) will go thermal if you have your gain set to high. Great amp if space is a concern. I also like that you can get same output at 2 or 4 ohm loads.
