[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 6822228, member: 540940"] To me the Alpine and JL are more "finesse" amps and all you really need is brute power. I like the kicker idea a lot more. Is space an issue? That's the biggest advantage of the Alp/JL amps IMO. How about a big 5 ch -- that would power eight 6.5's and two ~300w 10's well. Then you'd just need a little 2 ch for the other two. Or you could run four with the 2 ch to lighten the load on the 5. Coincidentally the Polk PA 1100.5 looks like a good fit at $400. 125x4 at 2 giving each tower speaker 60w+ and 4 interior 6.5's 60w+ and leaving you the sub channel at 600w @ 2 for the sub upgrade. The PG Roadster looks like a beast as well. 135x4 and 650x1, it's $500 at Sonic. Could be a difficult fit, probably 30" long or close to it. [/QUOTE]
