Hey guys , i have a MRV-F400 in mint condition ,
what should i do next ? Yes , it has only been in use for 3 years since purchased in 1998' That's cause my dad used it for a while and changed cars and never used it again . No matter , should i use for a guitar amp power amp section OR , a bass amp ? ( Don't say it's for cars , this was the utmost high-end of alpine's back then , and also alpine made properly good amps . ) It works damn well , here are the specs ( i just opened it up , the power section transistors look tip-top ) Using 4 channels will be out of the question , i will use it to create 160W @ 4 ohms bridged into 2 channels . • Multimode Capability • Active Dividing Network • Duo-ß Feedback Circuitry • No Current Limiting • S.T.A.R. Circuitry • Input Mode Selector • Continuously Adjustable Gain Control • Fully Discrete, Complementary Output Circuitry • Gold Plated RCA Input Connectors & Screw-Down Power & Speaker Terminals • High Performance, Low Noise, Audiophile Quality Active & Passive Components • Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) DC-DC Power Supply ( yes , it's a SMPS , but it's gone a long way from being noisy , it has a huge choke and 2 x 6800uf caps . ) • LED Status Monitor Dynamic Power (at 14.4V, 20 - 20k Hz) Per Channel into 4 ohms: 60W x 4 (0.08% THD) Per Channel into 2 ohms: 80W x 4 (0.3% THD) Bridged 2 Channel into 4 ohms: 160W x 2 (0.3% THD) So i can probably squeeze out tons of power before it even hits 1% THD , who won't agree ? And also , there are is both selectable LPF/HPF for the channels , not to mention a selectable 50hz to 200hz crossover , selectable gain ( 0.5V on 3 o'clock position ) , input mode selector , for each channel , mmm , sound good . i might rewire another kind of pot into the gain so it can outboard adjustable !
