No sound and some smoke

I have a alpine v12 mrv-t707 amp that i bought used and just installed. the wiring is correct as i have installed a couple amps before. when power is conected the green led comes on and some smoke billows from internally. it has the smell also. the green led comes on even without the remote wire connected. i am using smaller fuses to test it as i dont want to do too much damage in the troubleshooting process. what could the prob be? can you help!! chris

Just want to know what speaker wattage matches my v12 mrv f705 85 rms x4 channel amplifier?

Use speakers that will handle 85 RMS continuous or higher wattage. I have 200 watt Rockford 6.5s on a 75 watt amp. They sound great with plenty of headroom if I go to a bigger amp.

Alpine v12 amp no power

its your fuse box. i would bypass the fuse box and wire this amp directly to the battery via monster cable. make sure you attach a 30wieght fuse to the monster cable that is running from the battery to your amp. ground the amp against the trunk. scrape the paint of a section and drill a hole in the trunk. use this for the ground for you amp. this will fix the no power issue.

Over heating problem

"how do i made amp ohm instead of 4"
What?
I think you're asking how to make the amp 2 ohm. If your 12's are already wired for 2 ohm, just connect the 2 leads to the bridged terminals on the amp. There will be 4 connections on the amp. One for each channel. Usually, the two outside terminals (one positive and one negative) are the bridge and it'll be noted with a line painted on the surface above the terminals. That's all you have to do.
If it is overheating, you should put cooling fans on it.

V12 MRV-1507 or Xplod? Amplifier - XM-ZR1252 good quality sound

Alpine is just a better brand in general. I have the older MRV-1507, sounds GREAT, i have had friends who has had the Explode line, but it was always a temporary system until they got something better, like the alpine or kenwood.
