I don't know what kind of problems people have been having with eclipse, but I have owned three eclipse amps and they all kicked butt. The reason I would stick with the first set up is the focal door speakers. Eclipse sound great,(I am running point source right now) but the focal are in a league of their own. Be careful with the JL subs, if you overpower them they blow way easy. I've owned JL W3's, W6's, eclipse sub, and kicker. The eclipse was a lower model but the sound quality was amazing. The JL sounded the best, but to my amazement the Kicker comp vr's were the loudest. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smokin.gif.f1dc8d2acb1809e863ebd6a47eaa0d45.gif
