Get the Alpine, they are super reliable.
disreguarding the sub, I still say go for the Alpine, it might sound better, but I know its more solid..

I have a hifonics titan series that does 85x4 @4ohm and I love it. Doesn't break a sweat and never goes into protect.

it sounds good becuase its not a very noticable difference but its still there. just like you cant see air buts its there you know? its becuase the sound waves are reaching your ears at different times and it makes diferetn sounds .

Ok still looking for opinions, but if I do go for the Hifonics and get a 200W sub would a 75W alternator be able to handle that. I've done the math:
55Wx4=220W+200W=420Wx2=840/13.8=60.87
Now is that 60.87 the size alternator I need to run this or am I misunderstanding this.

you will be fine with the alt you have! as for the amp's i say the hifonics! it is a solid amp and will put out a little more then the alpine. not a noticable amount but it will sound good atleast

I know this isn't the sub thread but what would be a good sub to pair with the Hifonics, I'm not looking for car shaking bass just something that would supplement the speakers and give me better low end.
you say hifonics and alpine
but noticing that you go to ebay
I'd say autotek
Maxxsonics owns both autotek and hifonics, but i believe the autotek line is better, although the motherboards and much of the structure are very similar
but if it's an absolute hifonics/alpine choice, eh I'd go for alpine if you plan to show it off because people are more familiar with the name
if you want some more bang for the buck then hifonics
A good sub could be anything...depends on the specific amp though too
Even though I am a strong believer in good products etc, as you can even see by what's in my sig (to MY opinion are good products), I did also still enjoy alpine E subs, infinity 1042w, lower end mtx, and many other subs, so something like the infinity 1042w or 1242w can be found INCREDIBLY cheap on ebay, although the problem is i think they're out of production, either that or they are hard to find (at least for me)
I'm trying to get rid of mine too
Also, you'll notice that most high end speaker lines don't even sell 6x9s, listen to JimJ
6x9s are just filler, they weren't specified to play incredibly clearly, they just get loud and fill in the back space of your car, there's also a lot more technical specs, for example, I don't know the EXACT measurements but to get good clarity your tweeters and mids have to be within an angle and distance of your ear
As for the alternator, my civic puts out 75A
I'm running 1080 RMS from my autotek and the lights only dim on sudden and loud bass notes
