hi there. was wondering as per your ad if i can ask you a question?

i have an alpine mrpm500 amp and want to have a gain control on it but it doesn't come with one. i dont think it has the input (like phone jack) for it so i assume i have to buy rca type and that will work on that amp? will there be room on the amp for that to hook up to even if i need to use an inline converter since i am leaving my factory deck installed? also i have a factory sub and amp in my car but want to add aftermarket amp and sub so should i be relaying into the factory amp/sub and using those hook ups or leave that as is and do totally separate hookup?

the amp is 2ohm and 4ohm. i have two subs. one is 2ohm solobaric kicker 10" l3 (with kicker box thats ported) and the l5 (higher version) but is 4ohm and comes with a qlogic box (sealed). what do you recomend would be better? i only want to use one box/sub and prefer deeper bass. thanks in advance.

 

The 2ohm in the vented box IMO.

You should look at a Re-Q5. Not only is it a fantastic line out convertor, it includes a non-fading sub out with level control **** and also a headphone jack line-in.

 

^ Agree on the 2ohm ported. that's the same amp i have too, i love it.

 

Why do you say it has no gain control? the users manual clearly shows gain, LPF and Bass EQ. It has RCA and Line levels speaker inputs.

 

I think he means a remote gain ****.
