Real world amplifier power: Alpine MRP-M500 MRV-M500 #ampdyno

In this video we test out an old school Alpine MRP-M500 amplifier, this version was replaced by the very similar MRV-M500 and both should perform about the same. In addition to testing with load resistors I also test with a subwoofer to show you real world performance.

About the amp dyno: I am using resistors along with an SMD DD-1 plus and and SMD AMM-1 to detect distortion, measure clipping, and measure power in watts. Unlike most amp dyno videos I also include a reactive test to show real-world amplifier power. @meade916 @Williston Audio Labs
