i have both the v12 and v power amps in my car as far as i know the v12s are monoblock amps with digital processor and the v power are the multichannel with 1 or 2 mono amps with a normal processor

v12 on the left for the subs vpower on the right for the componets

with the digital you can get the amp contoller to change the settings of the amp from your seat and view amps, volts, and temp of the amp. v12 is better to tune with then the vpower but either way both amps rock.

so basically the only thing ill lose is the ability to adjust them from up front?

and a few settings like time correction (not really needed with subs), safe mode turns amp off, and a couple others i cant remember off the top of my head

I have 2 V12's, I absolutely love them, they take abuse, they don't overheat, the make lots of power (birthsheet on the big @!#$ says 1100+ watts rms) they make very clean power and lots of it, definetly worth the price IMO. I won't go back to anythign other then V12's

sound correction being useless with subs is false information just so you know wrench, if used correctly by someone who knows what theyre doing when setting up a good SQ set up time correction is very nice to have. not trying to be a butt hole here, just letting you know that its not useless just cuz u got subs.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

i had lots of toys when i was young.slinky,etc.but once i found my penis,that was all she wrote

Quick questions about the v12's

My buddies amp in his Chevy Silverado is a single channel running two 10" type R's and it quit and has the CUR (current) warning for excessive current.

How do we fix this?
I checked all the grounds, fuses, power, everything, but can't find whats wrong.

Also whatever happened, melted the center of his one sub (dealer gave him a new one), but we tried reseting the power to the amp after putting in the new sub and still no diff.

I am totally lost and need some help to save my buddy some money. Thanks guys.

i had a amp get stuck in high cur because the ground was too small. i had to send it in to alpine to get it fixed. they ended up fixing it for free all i had to pay was shipping.
