This is my second "Alpine" amp and I wouldn't go to any other for sure. I've had PDX-F4 for 10 months and I loved it - never had any issues with it.
PDX-V9:
PROS:
- PDX-V9 is pretty much PDX-F4 and PDX-M6 in one, but you pay less and save space in your car.
- Compact size (it perfectly fits underneath the front passenger seat in my Civic Coupe 2001).
- Technical specs are very impressive.
- Power and speaker connectors make the installation easy.
- It has an option to connect 4 speakers with 2 RCA cables without using Y-adapters. In my case it's an excellent choice, cause I have 4 outputs coming from my "Sony" DSX-S100 deck (2 front and 2 rear/sub). So I've connected 4 "Hertz" (HCX-165 - front and ECX-690 - rear) speakers through the front outputs and sub "MTX THUNDER 6000" through the rear ones. IT WORKS and GIVES ME A LOT OF POWER and EXCELLENT SOUND!
- Ability to connect "Alpine" RUX-knob.
CONS:
- You need to remove {unscrew} the front panel every time you want to tune the amp. Otherwise you need to keep the panel off.
RECOMMEND THIS AMP!

First off let me say I am well versed in the world of mobile audio. I’ve had some kind of mild to wild system in almost every vehicle I’ve owned, and try to only use high quality products. My last truck had two Rockford Fosgate 15’s pushing 1,200 rms to each sub in a custom box, so I’ve now been at both ends of the spectrum for large and small form factor installations.
General Impressions – 4.5 out of 5
You know as soon as you take this amp out of the box that you’re holding something special. The amp itself is a work of art and it is honestly a shame that its small form factor means it will be hidden away in most vehicles. From the Alpine logo to the removable panel allowing you to get to the adjustments the amp is just pleasing to look at and has a good heft to it letting you know this isn’t a lackluster multichannel amp from the days of yore. This amp is so well put together and seamless I had to refer to the manual to figure out how to take the trim ring off of it to get to the holes for the mounting screws.
The plugs that you wire the speakers/power to and then plug into the amp are genius. For someone like me it is absolutely perfect for my application. I have it mounted up under the steering column in a Jeep Wrangler away from the elements and prying eyes. Standing outside the vehicle you cannot tell where the amp is.
The manual also does a very good job of explaining everything including most common wiring setups for those new users that may be confused.
The only reason I gave 4.5/5 is because the plugs that go into the amp feel somewhat cheap. The set screws on the speaker plugs are extremely tiny, and the plugs feel kind of cheap. I was afraid to break one since there are no extras so I didn’t tighten the set screws as hard as I wanted to. This resulted in a couple wires pulling out of the plugs during installation. I went back and tightened them down harder and everything was fine.
Sound Quality – 5 out of 5
Wow. This amp blows away many other amps I have heard, which is surprising for its class and size. At first I was not very impressed, but once I got all the settings on my head unit dialed in I was impressed. My current speakers are Polk DB which are entry level speakers and even with these the sound if just stellar. I plan to pick up with a set of Alpines which will handle everything this amp can throw at them.
The high’s from my tweeters are crystal clear, the mids are just right, and the bass is deep and full.
Some other users have reported a pop or click when the amp turns on, but I have none of this. The amp was wired using high quality Knu Konceptz power and RCA cables and just sounds amazing. I used a good solid ground and also have no alternator whine, hissing, or feedback whatsoever.
Power – 5 out of 5
This tiny little amp puts out big power for its size, and I mean big. This amp puts out even above what its rated at with enough consistent voltage. The birth sheet for mine said 135 rms and 571 rms, respectively. I could blow my speaker and subs with a twist of the knob. Alpine definitely delivers on their stated power ratings and then some. This is uncommon, especially in the lower end spectrum of mobile audio amps.
My current speakers and subwoofer cannot handle all of the power this amp puts out. Like I said above I plan to pick up a set of Alpine speakers. My sub is currently a 10” JBL GTO capable of about 400rms. I smelled voice coil within ten minutes of playing with the system after installation. I also plan to pick up an Alpine 10” capable of far more power.

Bought this amp to replace two larger, older amplifiers. According to the ratings it should be as powerful as the two other amplifiers, but it doesn't seem to be, even with the gains adjusted. Also there seems to be a slight intermittent "popping" noise that comes through the stereo, I have cleaned and changed the ground location, even tried a different ground wire to no avail. Overall, a good amplifier, would recommend to anyone that needs an amp for a small space.
