Alpine PDX 5 Amplifier Review
The Alpine PDX 5 is a great choice if you are only looking to buy only one car amp. This is a 5 channel that offers 75 watts 4 ways to your car speakers and 300 watts of power your subwoofer. Now this is not the choice for you if you are looking for a very load car stereo system, but its perfect for the average person. With a MSRP of only $650.00 this is a cheap way to power 4 mid range speakers and or highs and a subwoofer. Depending on your systems wiring this amp may also give your more wiring options with its ability to put out the same power at both 2 and 4 ohms. The Alpine PDX-5 has to be one of my favorite amps of all times. The PDX-5 also has the stackable design of the PDX series. This amplifier is also very easy to setup with all the terminals on one side. I have installed the PDX-5 more than a few times and have always been happy with the results. Let me know what you thing of the amp.
