[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1269710, member: 561023"] In my experience the Alpine V-power series amps aren't particularly underated at all. I Can't speak on the V12 series amps as I've never owned one. It should hit right close to the target of what the specsheet says it'll do. I do not believe it would make a truly audible difference, myself. I personally have no experience with any of DEI's products so I cannot comment on this one. Again - with no personal experience I really cannot comment for certain. But ~ I will qualify that with the addition that refurbished units from ikesound (various Orions, Vipers, etc) are continually and highly recommended by several members on this forum so if i were forced to make a guess I'd say it's a pretty safe gamble. I would have no clue whatsoever on this one If they will both fit into your intended mounting location and you're absolutely convinced that it has to be one of those two I'd just go with whatever is cheaper. I don't think the minimal amount of output difference would amount to a hill of beans in your listening space so go with whatever's cheaper to acquire. just my $0.02, anyway [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Good luck with your install.
