Thanks for feedback- so would you suggest the arc audio over alpine? Im considering getting this amp in case I want to add small 8-10 inch sub down the line. All my friends who have more background in audio say they never herd of arc audio.

cool - thats why i joined this site. To get info from the experts. I just wanted to make sure the shop im going to is pushing arc audio since its all he has. Ill be swapping out smaller alpine amp to this arc audio to push my alpine type r speakers and components. The shop says this will be a great swap as i wasnt getting full potential out of my speakers with alpine amp- only about 50%. Plus i wanted to get 5 channel incase i want to add a small 8 sub down the line. What do you think? will i have any issues running speakers and amp with this one amp-arc audio? Shop is telling me ill be fine- what do you think? Thanks!

Amps has more then enough power to run almost any comp set or coax out there. The sub channel will power a lower power sub of ur choice I'd say a SSA dcon would be great

Id hit you up but shop is buying my back full price- so gotta go with them haha.

Between both amps- which would you go with? I think the alpine is like 50 bucks cheaper- Shop is telling me arc audio

I'm not sure but I would think its equal to the arc audio. He told me its like 50 bucks less the the arc audio. The shop is suggesting the arc audio over alpine- says it will sound much cleaner
