I recall that you were wanting to run 2 4ohm subs, in which case you'd need a different amp-- the sub channel on that alpine only does 4ohm loads--

The PPI is MUCH MUCH MUCH better-- Just to let you know-- I'd jump on it while you can-- you won't find that amp for sale often and especially not in mint condition--

$350 shipped is very fair for that level of quality equipment--

It might just last longer than your car--

i might be in luck.
i found a local shop carrying the PPI 6 ch. P650, asking 250 with 90 day warranty.
i will check it out this weekend.

This amp will not work with a 2ohm sub load!!!!!

The PCX 5800 is what you want !!! Twice the power for the sub channel-- and it will work at a 2ohm load--

$325 shipped is not a lot of money for this level of quality --

The seller has 710 transactions with 98.8% positive, accepts returns, and it qualifies for paypal buyer protection--

Not surprised that Alpine had a channel drop. I used to have a MRVF300 that had two out of the four channels DEAD out of the box. Upgraded to the MRVF400 on the spot and then later sold it to a buddy. Then upgraded to McIntosh. You can't get any higher than that for sound quality.

There may be a few that come close enough that it's inaudible--
