Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack by Zak Billmeier My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. More power, less hassle Want a simple way to crank up the power of your receiver? Alpine's "Power Pack" amplifier increases your receiver's power output to 45 watts RMS by 4 channels. That's a big jump up from the 7-20 watts per channel typically put out by a car radio, and plenty of power to drive high-performance speakers or keep up with a big subwoofer amplifier. Best of all, this compact amplifier is so efficient you can often run it off the same circuit that powers your receiver. A universal plug lets you feed a signal via RCA outputs or speaker-level wiring. The KTP-445U will work with just about any car stereo, but it's not a plug-and-play installation — you'll have to wire it into your system. If your car receiver's power circuit is protected by a 15-amp or larger fuse (check your fuse box or owner's manual), you can tap into it to power your KTP-445U. Otherwise, you'll have to run a power wire to the battery. Be sure to add a 15-amp inline fuse as close to the battery as possible. You can install this compact amp behind most dashboards, but you'll need 4-channel patch cables to connect your car stereo to the amp's preamp inputs. You can also splice into your speaker wiring to get signal to the KTP-445U. Important Note: The KTP-445U Power Pack won't work in a system with an active factory amplifier. You'll have to bypass the factory amp if you want to upgrade your power with the KTP-445U, and we don't recommend using this Alpine amp to replace a factory amp with more than 4 channels. Please contact an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to check compatibility if you have any questions.

Features Overview: The Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack is a power upgrade amplifier that allows you to add higher output and more dynamic response to your aftermarket or factory installed car stereo system (without factory amplifiers). The KTP-445U amplifies your aftermarket or factory head unit's power output, resulting in increased power over the original head unit's built-in amplifier. It's small and compact at only 7.875" (w) x 1.5" (h) x 2.5625" (d) and fits behind the head unit in the dash of most vehicles. The KTP-445U comes equipped with RCA and auto-sensing speaker level inputs. Note: When used in vehicles with a factory amplifier, the factory amp will need to be bypassed (this may result in lost speaker channels, if factory amp has more than 4 channels). The increase in power may result in a louder warning chime in certain vehicles. 45 Watt x 4 Channel Amplifier: The Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack employs a 45 watt x 4 channel amplifier. The amplifier offers an unbelievably low noise floor, taking extra care to ensure a clean signal path, with no extraneous interference. The end result is a 1 Watt Signal-to-Noise Ratio of 82dB or better. Uniquely, the amplifier distortion actually decreases at higher frequencies, resulting in a clean and clear signal where your ear is most sensitive to distortion (< 0.03% THD+N @ 1W; 1% THD+N @ rated power). CEA-2006 Compliant: The specifications given by Alpine for the built-in amplifier comply with the CEA-2006 mobile amplifier power testing and measurement standards from the CEA (Consumer Electronics Association). All manufacturers who comply with the standard can display the CEA-2006 logo on their product. CEA-2006 Power Rating: 45 watts x 4 channels (at 4/2-ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD) Bridged: 90 watts x 2 channels (4-ohm minimum impedance) Max Power Output: 90 watts x 4 channels (Peak) Controls: The Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack provides independent controls for the Front & Rear inputs. Front & Rear Gains: The Power Pack provides simple variable gain controls (speaker level: 0.5-10V, low-level: 0.2-4V) for flexibility and a wide variety of system applications. Front & Rear HPF: High-Pass selectable switches for the amplifier's Front & Rear inputs allow frequency filtering for a wide variety of speakers. Choose "Full-Range" or a selectable range (60Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz) to fine-tune your crossover points (-12dB/oct.). Configurable Inputs: On the bottom panel of the Power Pack there are selectable input options to accommodate Speaker-Level (0.5V-10V) or RCA (0.2V-4V) inputs. 4Ch/2Ch Modes: Selectable 2-Channel & 4-Channel options give you the control to determine source inputs, and can eliminate the need for Y-adapters. Low-Level & Speaker Level Inputs: The Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack includes a 5.5" low-level/speaker-level input harness. The harness features a proprietary 10-pin connector on one end that plugs into the KTP-445U and two pair of stereo RCA inputs that connect to your source unit's front & rear RCA outputs using a pair of stereo RCA cables (sold separately). If your source unit is not equipped with RCA outputs and only features speaker-level outputs, then you can cut off the included low-level/speaker-level input harness' RCA connectors (or use the optional Speaker Wire to RCA Adapters) and connect the KTP-445U to your source unit's front & rear speaker outputs. Note: You will need to connect the amplifier's remote turn-on lead wire (blue/white) to your source unit's remote turn-on lead when connecting the KTP-445U via Low-level (RCA). You do not need to connect the remote turn-on lead wire when connecting the amplifier via speaker-level input, because the speaker-level inputs are auto-sensing. Power/Speaker Output Harness: The Alpine KTP-445U's power/speaker output harness consists of a 16-pin proprietary connector on one end that plugs into the KTP-445U, and bare wires on the other end to connect to power/ground and your car stereo speakers through your vehicle's factory or aftermarket head unit's wiring harness. Note: The factory radio circuit needs to be a minimum of 15A. If it is not, a separate power and ground will need to be installed for the KTP-445U. Mounting: The Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack includes cable ties to attach the amplifier to your vehicle's frame or chassis. The KTP-445U also includes two mounting brackets and four hex-head screws to fasten the amplifier to a flat surface of your vehicle.

Works as it is supposed to. Easy install. Fits in nicely under my glove compartment. Pros: Small, easy to install. Cons: None that i encountered. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Big improvement, Small Package! Written By Russ, AR on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this along with a Kenwood head unit to replace factory Silverado radio. I listened to the new door speaker I bought on just a head unit then on a small amp so I knew I wanted a bit more power. This little amp really livened up the JL Audio's in the truck! Easy install and sounds awesome! Called Mike at customer service with some concerns about not wiring straight to the battery but with his assurance that my trucks power wire was enough I went with the install as per instructions and have had no problems with clipping or distortion. I have an 18 year old son and he was amazed at the difference this little amp made to balance out the system! Pros: Very Small, runs off head unit power at full tilt with no problems! Great improvement over running just head unit power, really brightens up good speakers. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Deceiving Little Amp Written By manooti, east stroudsburg PA on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed this amp with a new hu from Crutchfield. It is powering the stock speakers in a 2006 Passat B6. All I can say is w.o.w. I expected clarity and got both ear bleeding volume and clarity. The amp is tucked in the glove box and still stays cool to the touch. Have no problems with install except the tiny little xover switches under the amp. Had to use a fine flat head. Next test is how they run components after my stock speakers blow. >:) Pros: Wires are thick. Thicker than a new head unit from pioneer. Long leads. Stays cool due to class d. Front and rear crossover and gain control. Can be bridged in 2 channel mode for more power. Sounds awesome. Cons: Amp is nice but not when it needs its own power cable when radio fuse is under 15a. At this price, and then running power cable, might as well pick up a stronger amp. It is good if you know it will work for you. Also have a very slight hiss/hum with no audio. Lower gain, less hum but still there. Will not run power cable and use separate ground as it defeats the purpose of this amp. Crossover controls are too tiny to switch. Need a hobby flat head screw driver or a knife. 2 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Cons: GETS A LITTLE DISTORTED A HIGH VOLUME 1 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Nice little Amp but not if your using component speaker set up Written By Juan, Chicago Heights on Friday, December 20, 2013 Nice little Amp if you want a cleaner sounding system and can afford an expensive amplifier or simply don't want to bother with installing one.... I installed this Amp in a 2006 impala with a set of Kicker components in the front and Kicker 6x9's in the rear using my RCA 5 Volt preouts from my double din eclipse deck ... Its not much louder than the head units amplifier but it will deliver deeper bass and crisper highs at a lower distortion rate, but if you turn up the volume to high for to long, this little Amp will CLIP!!! At least it does with my set up... I'm gonna try supplying a better fused power wire directly from the battery to see if it solves my problem and if that doesn't work than I'll turn down the gains on the amp... However the gains were adjusted using the method described in the instructions (standard method of adjusting gains)... I hope something works, otherwise I'm taking it out and running a real external amplifier.. To bad too because it sounds very good, I've NEVER had an amplifier clip at non-distorted volume levels, so I'm really hoping that piggybacking off the head units power wire is the problem Pros: GREAT SOUND, EASY INSTALLATION, SAVES MONEY Cons: Not Recommended if you like your music loud... This Amp will clip at high volumes 1 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I am playing this in my boat, so power consumption was a concern.....don't want to run down the batteries while at anchor in a remote harbor. My existing Bose161 speakers sound much better and the added base far better than before.

I have a 14 year old GMC Sierra Z71 truck and the factory stereo system finally bit the dust. Called Crutchfield for guidence and recommendations for replacing all of the factory equipment. I was a little apprehensive in purchasing this amp because of its size, but truly pleased I purchased it. There is noticeable difference with it and a really great product to be so small. The ol' truck sounds great now and extremely pleased with the performance. It is also very easy to store with its size. If your looking for a boost in your system this little amp does a great job.

I found the amp very easy to install and easy to adjust the gain etc per the factory instruction sheet(well written by the way)and a big plus is that it is so small it fit behind my Pioneer double din deck in my dash. The clarity and volume that it gives to my 4 Polk speakers is excellent, it really brings out the fullness of the low end in my 6X9's. This little amp is so worth the money and I am very happy I decided to get it! Pros: small size, easy to install(if you have a 15 amp or greater fuse), very easy to set up Cons: absolutely none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Mighty little amp! Written By Mike K., Chicago area on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) What a great compact amp. I bought a 2013 Santa Fe and I wanted to keep several features made available to me through my stock stereo and I did not want to change the cosmetic look of the vehicles interior by swapping stereo heads. Having said that my stock stereo had no bass and lousy volume and I knew a stereo upgrade of some kind was in my near future. I turned to Crutchfield for advice and this amp was recommended to me. It sounded like exactly what I was looking for so I made the purchase and installed it myself. This amp made the difference I was looking for and I could not be happier. I want to mention that the compact size of this amp made it very easy to stash inside the dash board. If I ever need to gain access it all I have to do is remove the passenger side AC vent and it is right there. This is a mighty little amp that makes BIG sound! Add the Kicker speakers and you have a great system! Pros: compact size, ease of installation, big sound Cons: none 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Cons: cant think of any unless you are hearing impaired and need much more power. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 PLEASE DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING Written By Jon, San Diego, CA on Friday, August 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Like others have said, this amp has RIDICULOUSLY short input wires, which just makes it impossible to install. Do yourself a favor and either buy extra RCA cables if you're going to be using an aftermarket deck, or use long speaker wire to make the input wires longer. I spent about an hour connecting everything with the short wires, then discovered when I wanted to put everything back together I couldn't get the amp to fit anywhere because the wires were sooo short. I have a ford edge and there's plenty of room behind the dash too. Like I said, just do yourself a favor and lengthen all the input wires, and you can also map out all of the color connections to your specific stereo while you do this as well, it will save you TONS of time. As for how it improves the sound, there is a definite noticable amplification of sound with this installed. I upgraded my speakers first, added a sub, and then about 2 weeks later installed this power pack, and it does make a huge difference. I had to turn the gains all the way down and I still feel like I get a little distortion at higher levels so I wish you could turn it down even more, but maybe my Ford head unit just puts out of a lot of voltage or something...not sure. I have it set with 120hz HPF and it definitely helps my 5x7 speakers with distortion, the sub takes care of anything below this. I tried 80hz and it didn't sound right, I kind of wish there was a 100hz setting but I can't complain...it sounds a LOT better. Pros: Small, space saving, no need to rewire your car. Cons: INCREDIBLY SHORT INPUT WIRES, you MUST lengthen them if you want to move this anywhere and have access to it! Also, it's not a very straight forward install -- if you have never done car stereo stuff, I would just take it to a shop and have them do it. No 100hz setting, only 60/80/120 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Great power for the size, quick and easy to install. The instructions were fine (not rocket science). I tried to adjust the built-in crossover and didn't hear much of a difference. My stereo sounds great, its crisp and clear while interstate driving with the windows down :) Pros: Size, easy to stash away almost anywhere. Cons: Careful where you put the amp, it gets hot!

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Clean power - but use the RCA level inputs! Written By PatrickM, Plano, TX on Saturday, June 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit was recommended to me by a Crutchfield advisor. The head unit in my system is a Kenwood KDC-X997. When I installed it, I used the speaker-level inputs and clipped off the RCA connectors and set the amp's jumpers. per the instructions included with the amp. With the gain trims set at halfway, the sound was screaming with the head unit level at only 10. I have an Infinity BassLink sub connected to the Kenwood's sub outs, and there was no sound coming out of the sub. The culprit: the sub-out signal from the head unit was simply not strong enough to drive the powered sub. The solution: turned both gain trims on the Alpin amp to minimum which then allowed the head unit to be turned up enough to get a good signal to the sub. Pros: Clean power and clarity. Cons: Make sure you use the RCA-level inputs on the amp 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This little amp pumps out the power and really makes the receiver sound great! Pros: Great power and clean sound! Cons: The instructions are horrible!

If you are looking for a mild power boost that can be mounted out of sight behind the dash (at least in a 1997 Jeep Wrangler), this is an excellent option. My Wrangler looks like it has the original factory sound system, but it sure doesn't sound like it anymore! Pros: Compact (should fit behind dash) Noticeable improvement in sound Cons: Mild power boost May require running a separate line to the battery (1997 Jeep Wrangler only has 10A fuse on receiver circuit) Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 The Perfect Choice Written By RobertP, Clemmons, NC on Saturday, June 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack was suggested by a Crutchfield salesperson as the one that would accomplish my goals of more power and cleaner sound. I would be installing it between a Pioneer DEH-X6500BT receiver and 4 Polk Audio DXi650 speakers, replacing the factory installed system in my 2008 Toyota Matrix. For my type of listening, it was the right choice. The sound is powerful and clear, but not overbearing. Installation was easy, using the straps provided with the unit, even though I had to adapt the unit to fit my particular situation. By using the StreetWires Zero Noise 5 Stereo Patch Cables that I purchased, the amp is proving to be exactly what I wanted. Pros: Compact size, clean sound, and powerful enough for most standard applications. Cons: None Was this review helpful?

A mighty mite. Good enough power to wake up most and quartet of speakers. Currently pushing a pair of Alpine Type R components and some soon to be replaced Polk db's. Yes , it makes the Polks cry. But the Alpines ROCK! I needed a good compact amp and this fit the bill perfectly. It allowed me to mount a 4 channel amp AND a monoblock amp in a very small space. Pros: Powerful, small, ease of use. Cons: A bit salty for its size/power. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 WOW!!! Truly amazed!!! Written By chaces1, NYC on Thursday, May 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the Polk db651s speakers to replace the stock speakers and to see if they would improve the music from the stock radio/cd player in my 2010 Accord. The speaker upgrade was fine but not enough volume. I bought the Alpine power pack and WOW!!!, at least a 100% increase in volume, and the clarity/quality of the music was significantly better. I went to a professional installer and at first he was skeptical because of the size of the Alpine 445U Power pack, but after he had it playing all he could say was WOW!!! Pros: Size (easily hidden) Lots of power, WOW factor. Cons: Had to go to a pro for a seamless install. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice little factory upgrade Written By Jeremy, Indiana on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This little Alpine amp is a great upgrade to my factory 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited factory radio (U130). It at least doubles the power to be plenty loud to damage your hearing, you can pretty readily find somewhere behind the dash to stick it, and it just splices right in to the factory radio wires including no need to run power wires from the battery (which I did anyway for a Kenwood KSC-11 powered sub). I didn't have preamp outputs on the factory radio, so all I had to do was cut off the RCA connectors on the Alpine and splice line level wires right in to it. I do recommend adding extra wire to the inputs side for placement flexibility if using line level inputs (speaker wire works fine); I don't fault Alpine for this because preamp inputs would have used a longer RCA patch cable. I haven't heard any noise either adn that is just using the factory radio harness inputs. Some nice aftermarket speakers, like the Kicker 6.5" CS component and 2 way sets like I added go well with this and their 100 watt RMS power handling mean zero distortion and no way I can blow the speakers. Pros: size, relatively easy wiring for an amp Cons: Crutchfield didn't have a current wiring diagram but sent what they had & I figured it out by looking at the wires & cutting one set at a time, "only" 45 watts per channel RMS, adding a full amplifier with 60 or 100 W RMS like one of the new small digital ones wouldn't be much more complicated and pricing would be similar Was this review helpful?

I needed to replace the factory amp in my 2002 Chevy Avalanche because it literally burned up leaving me with sound only on the left side. The install was not easy because wiring different colors from the amp to the vehicle harness could get tedious. The biggest problem was that the amp control wire from the Sony head unit and the wire from the amp are blue and white; in this Chevy, though it was pink. If I would have read a little more in the Avalanche Service Manual and the Crutchfield online sheet, I could have recognized it. But it went in and immediately I noticed the difference. It might not be a butt kicker, but it is a huge improvement over the factory amp that overall I was satisfied with. With new Kickers in the rear and recent Kenwood compnents up front, it's now a beautiful thing in my old Av! Pros: Small size made it easy to mount where the old amp was, and I even temporarily had it in the glove box. Easy connection to head unit. Plenty of wire length to tie output to the factory harness. GREAT sound. Cons: Terrible installation chart and directions- not logical and hard to read partly because they put 3 languages onto each line of the diagram. Also "instructions" for dip switches and remote wire were useless. Short RCA leads to head unit. Was this review helpful?

Love the car, like the features of the head unit, bluetooth, aux cable, usb input, etc. Hate the sound. From reviews, I discovered that the speakers were fine but that the head unit put out a measly 10w per channel. I looked into and bought this product thinking that I could improve the sound without rewiring anything or gutting the head unit. Sure enough, paired with a breakout harness (mfr in, mfr out, all splicing between connectors), I was able to get this up and running in about an hour. Huge improvement!! Pros: Great sound for little work and little $. Cons: Need room in dash for extra box and wiring behind head unit Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great amp Written By gasman, michigan on Monday, May 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Who says good things don't come in small packages? This one does. I was looking for something to add a little boost to my RV sound system. The magnadyne head unit just didn't have enough oomph. I started out by changing the speakers to Polks, but not enough power to drive them sufficiently with the receiver alone. I was on the fence about an amp so small, but didn't want the hassle of wiring a big amp if I didn't need to. With Crutchfield's 60 day try it or send it back if not happy policy, I figured I had nothing to lose. The other reviews of this amp were also good. Well, I'm glad I did. The system came alive. The only issue that I had was that there was initially some interference/ noise present. This was resolved by turning the gain down on the amp. I mounted the amp behind my seat, so I had to make a longer harness to reach the radio. The whole process was straight forward and the directions were accurate. I highly recommend this amp. Pros: Great price. Great power and clarity for a small form factor amp. Easy set up. Crutchfield service... Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Perfect fit Written By Harley, USA on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit fit in the tight space I had on my motorcycle. It was a perfect compliment to the Alpine IDAx200 head unit. I have the Polk Audio MM series speakers and the additional power gives them great sound at high volume. Pros: Great price, small size, RCA connections Cons: It took a little time to figure out wireing but not a big deal. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Powerful, Small Amp Written By Aaron, Indianapolis, IN on Sunday, April 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This little amp is awesome. I have a 2004 Honda CR-V and recently replaced the factory speakers with a couple pair of 6.5" Polk Audio db651s. I didn't want to replace the head unit but wanted more power coming through my speakers. One of the Crutchfield reps helped me find this amp which was a huge sound upgrade. This thing can really make the speakers scream. This was my fist amp install so I wanted a relatively simple one. Through a lot of research, YouTube videos, and a little Crutchfield technical support I had this guy installed an sounding great. Can't recommend Crutchfield enough. Great products, outstanding customer service, and an incredible company. Pros: Small Size. Lots of Power. Able to mount behind the dash. Cons: Most of the wiring is too short unless mounting directly behind the head unit, but nothing some additional speaker wire can't fix. Instructions could have been designed better. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Overall pretty good, but..... Written By Patrick, Chester, VA on Sunday, April 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this little amp as a quick add-on and wanted some extra power, also to bypass the built in crappy IC chip amplifier that is found in just about ALL car receivers. What drew me was the bridging capability of "90 X 2" claim, it's small size, and can piggy back it's power from the car radio circuit. I use this in an older hatchback style Honda Civic with just the 2 door speakers. Plugged into a Pioneer DEH-9500BHS, with some Pioneer 6.75" D170's, it was a significant improvement over the radio's built in amp. I did notice that this amplifier can "clip" easily if overdriven, which can potentially damage your speakers. I called Crutchfield and they said maybe the gain was set too high. I don't think it's the amp, just what it is. Not sure if it will clip in 4 channel mode, but I'm only driving the 2 Pioneer door speakers-which are super efficient. I played with the gains taking note not to set them above the halfway mark. I turned them down a bit and was about to get a little more out of the amp, but it will still clip if the volume/bass is set too high. Overall not bad for the money, but don't expect a miracle or to blow the doors off. Kind of reminds me of the "add-on power boosters" sold at cheaper dept stores from the late 70's & mid 80's. If you're looking for more power in a small size, they're other amps out there for about the same price, maybe a little more. The only downside is you'll have to buy an amp wiring kit and long RCA patch cords. Pros: Size, Price, Sound improvement Cons: Can clip easily, touchy gain controls, short RCA plugs 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Install along with Kenwood KMM-100U reciever and Polk Audio speakers. Being in a Jeep (i.e. tent on wheels) I wanted to get something to push a little more power to get more volume and to also get a little more clarity. Based on Crutchfield reps recommendation this was perfect. It is small and fits behind the receiver and is out of sight. (invest in zip ties) Wiring it was a bit tricky but made sense once I did it wrong the first time. Wiring still went fast. You basically end up wiring all of you main wires was from the input side and you speakers you wire in from the output side and you are good to go. This unit does as advertised. A lot more clarity and detail in the sound. More power what was 35 on the volume scale of my reciever is now a 25 -26. No distortion at the higher volumes either. Pros: More clarity and detail Great recommendation for something I would never have found on my own Out of the way Cons: For non Alpine units you have to think through the wiring (you may need extra speaker wire as well as the output side is a bit short) 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I have been looking for a small amp to power my Infinity front & rear door speakers in my '00 Sierra. I upgraded the head unit & the speakers awhile back & didn't feel the need to get an amp at the time. I didn't know what I was missing until I hooked this baby up. My sound system came alive with the sound I new it could produce. It wires right into the factory harness adapter that was used when adding the Pioneer head unit. Everything is color coded for easy installation. You can use preamp input or line level inputs depending on your head unit. ** Don't forget to get some Posi-ProductsT Car Stereo Connectors they'll make the job A LOT easier. ** It has all the controls you'll need like crossover points & gain controls in a small compact case. It will really surprise you for it's size & it's a CLASS D amplifier! To round out my system I added the Sound Ordnance B-8PTD under the backseat to fill in the bass. Pros: Class D amp Compact size, compact price Easy to install (wires inline with radio) Alpine quality sound 4 channel or 2 channel application Cons: Wire leads a little short Was this review helpful?

Small & easily concealed from prying eyes. Really surprised at the boost it provided to my OEM HU. Pros: Small, powerful & great sound!

I have it running a set of Boston SR-60 components in the front and a pair of Alpine SPR-69 in the back of my 2010 Nissan Altima coupe and this amp gave an immediate sonic improvement. Detailed mids and perfectly bright highs along with adequate bass (for what my current speakers are). Once again, Alpine makes another landmark item for car audio enthusiasts.

I messed up by ordering the univeral unit instead of the plug and play unit, my fault. Crutchfield offered to exchange it but I proceeded with what I had. It works very well and I am pleased with the high power output. However when I increase the volume to a level I would not normlly use, it cuts out momentarily. I set the dip switch as recommended but something is wrong here. Overall a huge upgrade. I combined an Alpine CDE-134HD with this for use in a class C motorhome. I did a speaker upgrade last year.

Purchased this amp for my 09 Hyundai Santa Fe w/ stock (Non Infinity) system. In order to install this without cutting any of the factory wiring (and to ease the installation), I purchased the Parrot bluetooth harness ($30, Crutchfield). Without the harness this amp would have been a whole day project. In agreement with the other reviewers, the wiring harnesses included with the amp are WAY too short. But all said and done, it is a huge improvement. The separate front/rear crossovers help in tuning it, as the front speakers are different from the rears (component vs full range). I was able to cancel out the low freq. bass from the rears, which could not handle it very well. I would have rated it 5 stars if it wasn't for the short wiring harnesses included with the amp. Pros: Small size, can mount almost anywhere, does not require direct power from the battery (low current draw) Cons: Included wiring harnesses way too short, unless you can mount the amp directly above or below the radio. Instructions somewhat hard to read (small print). 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I upgraded my factory JBL receiver to the JVC KWAV60 and put this Alpine on and new speakers. Whole new ball game. This thing is great. Make my speakers sound so much better. If you have that factory JBL Amp in your car you must get the "Metra 70-1761 receiver wire harness For select 1987-up vehicles" also sold by Crutchfield. This Metra 70-1761 harness will bypass the old JBL factory Amp so you can put the Alpine Amp on - connect these (comes as two harnesses) to the car harnesses just below the receiver.. So make sure you don't get the "Metra 70-8113 Toyota Receiver Wiring Harness For select 2000-07 vehicles with factory amplifier" because this harness will integrate the factory JBL Amp than you can't use another amp. I had to find out the hard way. Hope I helped other Camry owners.. Pros: Sounds great and it's almost plug and play. Cons: None 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I use to have to turn my radio up to around 15 to drown out the road noise when the windows were down, and now the same level is achieved at somewhere around 6. It is small enough to be hidden easily, but it was not small enough to fit behind my head unit as the add suggests. Maybe if I did not have a double-din sized head unit, then it may fit. It features a high pass filter for the front and rear channels, so you can keep those lows away from your delicate speakers. The best thing is that you don't have to run an amp wire through your firewall, because it can work off of the wires that use you use to connect your head unit. I would recommend this to anyone. Pros: Small, Powerful, Hi pass filter Cons: Not quite small enough to fit behind the head unit if you have a double-din unit. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Chris, Lexington, KY on Friday, August 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Giving it 4 stars because it's well built, puts out what I thought was good sound, the size is great, EASY installation with power/ground wires going to car harness, and overall quality is excellent. However, I have an 07 Corolla with a Dual head unit and Infinity speakers front and rear. With the proper settings on the Dual, believe it or not, I really couldn't hear any noticeable difference in the quality of sound. Based on the reviews, I was expecting cleaner and greater sound, but just didn't happen. I tested my system with the amp, then immediately after without the amp, and immediately decided it wasn't worth keeping, at least not in my car. If and when I get another head unit, or maybe another car, I will definitely reconsider this amp. One thing I noticed was how warm the amp got after a while. I would recommend this amp for anyone looking for good quality, and if your system is in need of decent power. Pros: Size, easy install, good quality build.

I really like the size of this amp and the power it puts out, Especially how it connects to the harness power wire. NO running wires through the firewall to the engine battery. There are many ways to install (RCA, wire harness) and the settings are convenient along with the gain knobs. I would purchase this product again. Pros: Cool design, very small for 45watts of RMS! Adjustments easily modified. Cons: Very short harness doesn't allow you to give much distance from the amp to the head unit. Currently have a lot of static in my speakers, Assume its due to the amp being so close to the head unit and the ground wires all sharing the same terminal. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

So I get the amp open it up look at the directions then look at the wire harness that comes with the amp. Ok looks pretty easy go out take out the stereo and 20 minutes after I pull the stereo out I have it wired and working. Nothing to it. Directions were easy to follow. The hardest part was trying to find a place to put it with the short wires. So I went out and bought some wire, spliced it in, and GOOD TO GO. 4 stars four the wires being to short.

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Exceeded Expectations Written By Curt D, Chaska, MN on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 I bought this amp as an upgrade from an OLD Alpine amp that was rated for 20W/ch. I'm running it in two channel/bridged mode driving my front speakers. I have the power lead hooked into the distrubution block with my other amp and 8AWG wire from the battery. I was initially sceptical of the 90W rating for such a small package. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised the first time I fired it up! It is ROCKIN my Boston coaxials plus seperate tweeter set. There is a great improvement in bass and accuracy. String instruments actually sound like string instruments again and I'm getting decent bass in the front of the car. Now I know my speakers are performing to their full potential. I have to disagree with some other reviewers about the instructions, I thought they were very complete and easy to understand. I do have a very low level alternator whine like others experienced. I have not tried the ground isolators yet. In two channel mode this amplifier is for real. Pros: Really has the power to back up the specs. Clean, pleasant signature Alpine sound. Well worth the price. Cons: Suseptable to picking up noise. Filter module on the power lead is a little cumbersome if you want to pull the lead through a small space. Was this review helpful?

When I got this I was expecting the old "plug and play" model, so I was a little surprised to find that it wasn't going to be that easy. Installation was a bit of a pain, the wires on the side that inputs form the head unit aren't even CLOSE to long enough. I ended up cutting off all the plugs and extending the wires about a foot and a half. Besides the install being a pain though, it's a great product. Good amp at a low price, sounds great. Going to have to replace those stock rear speakers soon, they're struggling. Took a star off for the short wires, they weren't even close to long enough. the pre-amp plugs were about 4-5 inches long Pros: - Small size - Low price - Great sound Cons: - Install was a bit of a challenge Was this review helpful?

Great amp for beginners to install. Pair this amp with a pacific accessory corporation oem 1 in a Tahoe and install takes 15 minutes. Great for fronts and rear speakers but does provide ample crossover points for fine tuning. Allows too much bass that distorts mid bass drivers, and too much top end highs,over 8k kHz. Pros: Cost, efficiency, installation Cons: Crossover points 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Excellent amp, compact, doesnt get to hot, i was able to stash it under my dash without worrying it would get to hot. if adjusted proberly you will have able power for most peoples needs. good, clean power. Pros: small, powerful, low heat Cons: once i stashed it under the dash i wasnt able to adjust the gain on the amp.....so make sure you have it adjusted before you stash it in close quarters......or leave it out.....it looks good enough to display. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great little amp Written By MattM, Boston, MA on Sunday, July 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great amp. I have this installed with an Alpine CDE-137BT and they make a great combo. I used the RCA pre-outs from the deck to the amp so I did not run into any short cable problems like the other reviewers here. It fit just under my receiver in my Saab -2x (exactly the same as a Subaru WRX 2002-07). This makes the factory speakers sound far better than the factory HU. I will probably still buy replacement speakers, but I will say that this was a huge improvement to the factory speakers, depending on your preference you may not even bother with a speaker upgrade. The unit is a little wider than a standard size HU so it was a little harder to fit under the HU but it should be doable in most cars. The supplied mounting hardware is minimal... I went out and bought some velcro to secure it behind the dash better. If you do have to cut the pre-outs off, there is barely enough cable to work with, Alpine needs to add another 6 inches to the RCA cables. I think that if you are serious sound (and volume) nut then a full four or five channel amp is the way to go, but for the 98% percent of us who want solid sound but still want to keep our ear drums this is a FANTASTIC unit, 45 watts RMS x 4 is more than adequate. Four stars (instead of five) mainly due to pre-outs and crap instructions. I'll update when I install some aftermarket speakers as well. Pros: Much easier to install than running traditional amps because of no need to run wire to battery. Surprisingly good sound for such a small package. Brings new life to factory speakers. Size. Cons: RCA pre-outs too short. Width is wider (slightly) than the standard DIN width. Instructions do kinda suck. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 As Advertised Written By SG, Greater Boston, MA on Friday, July 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a simple, small amp, fantastic for driving speaker-only setups. It is a definite improvement over head unit power alone. I paired this amp with an Alpine CDE-137BT. Far more headroom, and am hearing parts of songs I was not able to pick up with before installing my new system. Very happy. Only downside is that I had a tough time finding a good spot to hide the amp, and found the powdercoat finish fairly easy to chip. I wound up using velcro to fix the amp to a vertical dash support behind the glovebox (in case I want to play with the high pass filter options, I wanted it to be removable.) Seems to be holding OK so far. I also had to purchase longer RCA cables, as the included RCA extensions are not long enough to mount the amp anywhere but behind the head unit (which was not large enough to fit the amp in my vehicle.) If using the speaker-level inputs, this problem goes away. Pros: Headroom, clarity, size Cons: Mechanical quality of powdercoat finish (chips easily), short RCA exentions 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Just what I needed... Written By PVP, Atlanta, GA on Friday, July 06, 2012 I wanted to add a little more punch to my wife's Corolla 2007, but had to keep the factory radio. I installed this "mini-amp", replaced the factory speakers, and added a pair of tweeters. Even better, I found the factory tweeter door mounts/moldings and the corresponding male and female harness connectors so no cut factory wires. Also installed an iSimple PXDP that charges and controls an iPod/iPhone4. Pros: Sounds great. Probably equal or better than optional JBL 6-speaker system Toyota offered, but at a fraction of the cost. Installed fairly straight forward. Needed to add more wire to speaker level portion of harness so that I could mount KTP-445U to the far right of dash just above glove box. Cons: Alpine instructions almost useless; the sole reason why rating is 4 star and NOT 5. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 i like...... Written By andy b, dallas, tx on Thursday, July 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) 2000 silverado extra cab ---- gives a good boost to your speakers, Im using this with a Kenwood that seemed like it lacked power and after installing it in my truck the difference was very noticable - more bass, more sound all around. It was quick and easy to instal, the instructions are a little weak and slightly longer rca cables would be helpful - maybe another 6 inches or so but thats easy to fix. I installed it using the pre-outs spliced directly into the radio power (like it says to) and have no issues with it at all, I am still fine tuning the gain settings but I am very happy with it- makes a sub. a little less necessary (but Im doing it anyway next day off). for anyone whos interested, infinity 6 1/2 components and pioneer 4x6's (thanks chevy for the small speaker size) in back. Only reasons for 4 stars: poor instructions, short cables and I do wish it was a lttle more 'full' in the low volume area but that could be my kenwood or the speakers. But a definate improvement and Im glad I have it. Pros: easy upgrade for those looking for a litle more power without the trouble of running amp power and wires- easy to instal, small and it does make a big difference to the sound- worth it. Cons: marginal (poor) instructions and since this is geared to the less serious consumer (the ones like me who just want better sound), clear instructions on setting gains and other settings would be helpful as well as longer rca cords - I know we can buy them but just a little longer would be nice. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Installed this in our boat and bridged to feed 2 6x9's. Made a huge difference and brings a new level of clarity and depth to the music. Great performance in a small package. Relatively easy to install - instructions are a little lacking, but the crutchfield advisors can fill in the gaps if need be. The only negative reviews that I've seen out there seem to be from people expecting more power than what ANY 45x4 or 90x2 amp can provide. I'd choose this over comparable output standard amp every time. Specials thanks to Advisor Norm for talking me through my setup and steering me this direction!

THANX !!! ) No need for battery power wire to be run through firewall ( Been there/ Done that - - Never Again! ) Makes my 6 year old 3-Way speakers in my '03 Tundra sound GREAT... Should have gotten an Amp when I bought my previous reciever that recently gave up the ghost but didn't want the "Hassel" of wiring and placing an Amp in a Pickup... This AMP simply goes where the old Toyota amp was and no "special wiring" to battery required... It comes with "items" to reduce ignition noise if present and a grounding wire attachment - I tried it without either and it is working Perfectly... Pros: Relatively Small - Easy to incorporate - No special Power attachment needed - Clean / Clear Sound... Cons: NONE...

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good amp for the price Written By Erik, Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, June 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very easy to install if you have ever installed a head unit or amp before, I imagine the instructions would take a little longer for someone who hasn't. I had a Alpine head unit already in and used to turn up the volume to around 15-20 for everyday driving, now I only turn it up to 5-10 and it sounds much louder and clearer. This may have to do with the fact I installed a sub and mono amp so the speakers don't have to worry about producing the low frequencies anymore. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a volume increase and something that doesn't cost a lot for better sound. Pros: easy to install, definitaly a sound improvement Cons: the length of the cable on one side of the unit is way too short, they give you like 3 feet on one side and only like 5 inches on the other.... 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

However, the included instructions are difficult to follow and when I called Crutchfield support (as of 5/14/2012) they had NO IDEA how to install it--they said they had not been given any information yet.

This amp fits the bill perfectly. The hardest part of the install was interpreting the directions. The blue wire is neccesary to turn the unit on! I did not get that from the directions. Once I was able to understand the gist of it I tackled the installation. I installed mine behind the Kenwood head unit. I like that it tucks away out of sight and I can get to the gain adjustments while it is in the dash. I put my MP3 player connected and paused and with the gain turned all the way down, I turned the volume all the way up. If your hearing is good you can listen to the speakers as you turn the gain up. Once you hear the "hiss" from the amplifier STOP! Turn it back down and try to find that threshold of hiss! Repeat for the rear and you are done. Pros: Compact size, good sound clarity Cons: Directions.... 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Wow! Big sound from small package Written By JeepDude, Atlanta,GA on Monday, April 30, 2012 I added it to a entry level sony head unit in a 2001 Wrangler.Before installing the amp , I had already upgraded speakers to Boston Acoustics in the sound bar and Alpine's in the dash, all 5-1/4". Could not hear the radio over the tire and wind noise, especially when top and doors off. I installed this amp with hopes of getting a little more volume. It too me about 2 hours to install, could have done it in an hour if I hadn't lost a screw under the seats, and rewired the hack job from the previous radio installer. It should take you about an hour. I used high level speaker input to the alpine amp, the instructions have you cut the RCA plugs off, and use the wires,my complaint is it leaves you with about 5 inches of wire to work with ( - one rating star) ,making the amp hard to mount any distance from the head unit. I didn't want to cut into the jeeps wire harness further down the line, so I cut into at the head unit. I wish Alpine would have considered making these input wires about 12 inches, it would have helped out. Once installed and easily tucked into the dash I powered it up, WOW !!!!, this is a huge improvement. Took it for a test drive with no top or doors, sounded great ! I am really surprised that this amp brought out the sound quality like it did. I like the ability to adjust the gain on front and rear balancing out the sound. Instructions are ok, mounting hardware worked well for me, wire colors matched up making it easy to install for a DIY person. Great upgrade Pros: Sound quality , size, price. Cons: speaker level input wires a little too short for easy install . 12-14 inch input wires would be a great improvement. allowing placement further from head unit is a less dense area or the dash. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 6 questions already asked Show all answers Does this actually support 2 ohm speakers? It's rated 45 watts at 2 ohms and 4 ohms, which is unusual (usually 2ohm stable amps output more at that level). Wondering if that is just a misprint of sorts....I would like to use this with my factory (2ohm) door speakers...Thanks in advance! [ Frank Mar 14, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: This amplifier is 2-ohm stable and the output would be 45 watts. The amplifier has a regulated output which is why the 2-ohm output isn?t greater than the 4-ohm output. It should work just fine with the 2-ohm factory speakers. When used in vehicles with a factory amplifier, the factory amp will need to be bypassed (this may result in lost speaker channels, if factory amp has more than 4 channels). The increase in power may result in a louder warning chime in certain vehicles. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. [ Krissy Staff Mar 16, 2014 ] hi everyone, I'm going to buy this amplifier for my system including Alpine CDE-140E head unit, a pair of Alpine SPG-17C2 in front doors and a pair of Alpine SPG-69C3 coaxials. I want to know if this amp is suitable for me. Do I need any kind of accessories to use along with this amplifier or not? Thanks a lot [ hamed Feb 11, 2014 ] 1 answer Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system. [ Krissy Staff Feb 12, 2014 ] I'm looking to use this or something similar to use with my Kenwood KDC-BT955HD head unit, and power two door speakers (Pioneer TS-A1605C component speakers), and then bridge the other two channels to power a Bose subwoofer taken from an RSX Type-S Bose soundsystem (google it, I can't provide links). Will this work? I know the Bose sub needs 100w, but I can't find any info on its resistance. [ S2000 Jan 15, 2014 ] 1 answer You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your current system. They will be able to pull up your gear and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you. [ Jeff Staff Jan 16, 2014 ] I followed all the color codes and my two rear coaxials work great but my components only power the tweeter...any idea why?? Also the tweeters seem to drown out when the bass hits hard [ Raul Dec 16, 2013 ] 1 answer If you purchased the product from Crutchfield, feel free to contact our Tech Support team. They can walk you through the settings on the product and see if there may be a fix. Our toll-free Tech Support number is printed on your invoice, and is also available under the "My Orders" tab in the "My Account" section of our website.

Or try our online support center: http://crutchfield.custhelp.com/app/answers/list/kw/. [ Jeff Staff Dec 16, 2013 ] I've been looking at the alpine power pack but cant get a clear answer from reviews. Is the power pack an amp that would power a sub or just an accessory that adds some kick to a stereo system? [ Aaron Dec 16, 2013 ] 4 answers If you buy speakers and do not change your head (stereo), you need to power them with a amp. This is good to power 2 front and 2 rear speakers. And is small enough to mount behind your head, instead of a normal size amp which you would mount in the trunk. [ STEVEN Dec 27, 2013 ] Short answer is no, this unit is not the best choice for a subwoofer amp. The amp is 45 watts by four channels, or bridgeable to roughly 100 watts by two channels. So you would need either a Dual Voice Coil (DVC) subwoofer, or two subwoofer drivers, to take advantage of both bridged channels. Also, while this is a nice amp, the crossover choices aren't really set up for subwoofer use. For a single subwoofer driver, or for multiple subwoofers wired together, you would be better off with a dedicated mono channel subwoofer amplifier. [ JOSEPH Dec 18, 2013 ] It ' San accessory to add s [ DENNIS Dec 16, 2013 ] Only if it was a very low RMS sub. It is much better suited to powering aftermarket door/dash speakers.

mirror, mirror
So, here's the before:
A window from a home dating back to the 1940s. My bestie Britt and I found it at an antique shop in Old Town Clovis. Lucky for me, the glass was conveniently already replaced with mirror. Original price $55. Discounted to $44. Yeah! (Unbeknownst to me, my BFF Jimaie also had her eye on this mirror. We must be psychic! Ha.)
And here's the after:
Johnny and I had such a good time painting up a storm together and I can't wait to find the perfect place in our little home to hang it up! Yay for crafty-ness!
The inspiration for the paint job was this mirror we saw at this cute boutique on our anniversary trip to Cambria. John and I were totally ready to bring it home with us -- except for its $600 price tag. Well, I say, good thing we're not Mr. & Mrs. Moneybags because DIY is way more fun!

Oh, and there's grenades.

This plants leaves grow from the base of the plant, with 3 leaflets about 1 inch long, notched slightly at the center of the outer edge. The leaves are cloverlike, about 2 inches across, green above and below. They fold downward, umbrella-like, at dusk or in cloudy weather. Flowers grow in clusters on leafless stems that grow from the base of the plant. Only 1 or 2 bloom at a time. They have a shallow funnel shape, ending in 5 lavender-pink to purple petals.
The species name of this plant is named for Thomas Drummond, (ca. 1790-1835), naturalist, born in Scotland, around 1790. In 1830 he made a trip to America to collect specimens from the western and southern United States. In March, 1833, he arrived at Velasco, Texas to begin his collecting work in that area. He spent twenty-one months working the area between Galveston Island and the Edwards Plateau, especially along the Brazos, Colorado, and Guadalupe rivers. His collections were the first made in Texas that were extensively distributed among the museums and scientific institutions of the world. He collected 750 species of plants and 150 specimens of birds. Drummond had hoped to make a complete botanical survey of Texas, but he died in Havana, Cuba, in 1835, while making a collecting tour of that island.
