These amps close to same quality?

Is it that much of a difference? Trust me, I'm looking for some closure since I'm pissed that I lost the alps. I had them on order and 5 days later they called me to tell me they werent getting any more in.

Yes, that Alpine is in a completely different league than the Hifonics, sound quality wise you probably won't notice much difference though.
