Alpine R-A90S

$700.00

R Series 6-channel car amplifier — 75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms + 250 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms

For loud and realistic-sounding music. Into high-res music? Alpine’s R-Series R-A90S amplifier reproduces high-frequency sounds up to 45,000 Hz, so you can enjoy the clean sound and enhanced realism you want in your music. Alpine applied some hot technology from their top-of-the-line X-Series amplifiers into this R-Series amp, including the use of high-efficiency transformers and premium custom capacitors in the amp’s construction. Dual “Sierra” feedback circuitry decreases distortion by correcting the output using the original input signal. Even if you’re playing CDs and standard-resolution music files, you can count on superior sound quality from this amplifier. It’s not just about power. Alpine designed this amp to run a 3-way active system. Channel 1/2 can send a couple tweeters up to 75 watts RMS each and features a high-frequency high-pass filter necessary for safe tweeter operation. Channel 3/4 can send a pair of midrange drivers 75 watts RMS each and features a band-pass filter that keeps extreme highs and lows away from the midrange speakers. Channel 5/6 is for subwoofers, low-pass filter only, and can power two subs with up to 250 watts RMS each, or one sub with 500 watts. For maximum overdrive. You could also use this amplifier to power two high-performance speakers with 200 watts each plus a sub with 500 watts for optimum power applications. In these cases you’d switch the crossovers from 3-way to 2-way operation. Whatever configuration you decide on, don’t forget to include the optional RUX-KNOB.2 remote bass knob to control your bass from the dash.
