Sundown 50.4 Alpine F450, or JL e4300

[xguntherc 10+ year member]

Basically I need a 4 channel amp to run the 4 alpine type S in my doors that can handle up to 80w RMS each but I've heard anything over about 55 has distortion. But not sure on that fact. I plan together a 50-80w rms x 4 amp like hose in my title.

Sundown 50.4 no label from CA member used. Or new from sundown authorized dealer for $188

or Alpine MRP-F450 or even the F300 if I really only need 50w each

or a JL, Cadence, or even A Hifonics

what does everyone recommend. Would the slightly used sundown 50.4 be a better choice and more solid amp than a few of the other recommendations?? Input from the pros would be nice

Thanks!

had the e4300 running those components, got loud but i felt like the amp was being pushed a little, the only amp i've ever had that got so hot. I'm not saying JL sucks, just that amp heats up alright. Never failed though even when it was hot enough to where i couldn't hold it lol, playing it loud for too long.
