[QUOTE="tcguy85, post: 3441676, member: 574289"] i have a set of rsd's on a kicker zx550.2. i set the gains with a -3db tone to 150 watts per side. they aren't actually seeing anywhere near that 150 watts though. on my DMM i was seeing mid to high teens on the a/c voltage at really high volume levels.(150 watts @4 ohms is 24.5 volts ac). so they seems to get loud on what is far less than 100 actual watts per side. they sound absolutely amaaaazzzing though. i can't compare them to the alpines because i have never heard them before but the rsd's sound really sweet. they have a TON of mid-bass, and the mids and highs are also loud but also smooth sounding. even with my subwoofer off the mid-bass makes all three mirrors in my car shake pretty nicely and they still sound clean doing it. i do recommend the rsd's but i have not heard the alpines so i cannot really say the rsd's are better. but i do love my rsd's and plan on keeping them for as long as i can.
