V-Power amplifiers are known for their compact size, but don’t underestimate their power capacity. Although they have a 40% smaller footprint than their predecessors, they produce the same amount of power as before. Get the power you need, even if you have limited installation space.
Dual internal error correction technology – which had previously only been available in the PDX and X-Power amplifiers, is now integrated in V-Power mono amplifiers. The audio input signal is analyzed, compared, and corrected twice dynamically as the signal is processed through the amplifier. The result is amplifiers with the widest frequency response, higher damping factor, and lowest noise in its class.

If you're debating whether to spend the money on alpine hopefully I can make your decision for you. As some one who's gone through multiple amplifiers in my car system I can tell you alpine is the best I've had yet. This little 500W rms amp isnt like anything I've had in the past. It's miles better. If you're looking for great punch and awesome frequency response with more than enough power, then you need to buy an alpine. Don't waste your money on anything else that claims crazy stupid high output. This is true class D circuitry and gives the true power that it is advertised while running very cool compared to anything else. For example the amp I had before this little beast was an audiopipe 1000W "class D" advertised amp. It hit like a mother but had less than desirable frequency response, ran way too hot and was power greedy. Which means the claim of class D was a load of crap. It taxed my V6's alternator so much as to dim the headlights at even lower volumes. This alpine outputs way more power while running cool and sounding better and I can't get the lights to dim even if I try to by blasting this thing to reduce loud volumes. My recommendation is to buy this amp. Spend the money, you'll be glad you did. I find this amp to be exceptional when paired with an audiobahn 12" sub in a ported box that's built heavy and correctly. When you pair this amp with a 93-94dB sensitive sub like that, amazing things will happen for you. This combination is the best sounding one I've had yet, and buying these subs is where you can save your money. I can't imagine how good the 15" audiobahn would sound when paired with this. Might be my own future project. Hope this helps.
Clean power and it stays cool.
Can't find a better price for a small high power amplifier. Sound is clean with no pops or alternator noise.
I bought this amp July 1st but had to wait to set it up because I didn't have the sub yet. I installed the amp around August 15th and it was working great. However couple weeks ago I'm riding in my car and I completely loose my subwoofer. I check everything and see that my amp isn't turning on at all so I check all the wires, fuses and multimetered the wires. So basically I paid for nice clean bass for 2 months.. I called Alpine and they said the best they could do was if I sent it in and paid $70 to have it fixed. Would not buy again.
Alpine is always a good choice, this amp was everything it promised it would be...
Great amp for the money, clear and does what its supposed to do without issue. This is my third different Alpine amp in a car and they have always exceeded my expectations as far a longevity, price and performance.
You can never go wrong with alpine. Arrived as promised and performs as promised.
