Someone did a smash and grab on my car last Sunday and stole my Alpine
MRV-F357 amplifier.

My condolences, although insurance is great, the feeling of your privacy
being invaded outweighs all sometimes!

I bought one of these while building a budget SQ system, I am very happy
with it.

Picked it up from an authorized MTX dealer New Old Stock with full warranty
off Ebay for about $200. It doesn't pull much current (very efficient) and
seems to be quite under rated as I have yet to hit it's limits (not a
boomer, but will sometimes crank) It sits behind the seat of a standard
pickup with little air circulation, it has never shut down or gotten
excessively hot, BUT, I am running 1X 4 ohm sub, 2X 4 ohm mids, and 2X 8 ohm
tweets, triamped. I'm not stressing it that bad.
