I already looked at the Alpine and its closest competitor the JL 900/5. These are my fallbacks. I think that both amps, while very good and the Alpine is a particularly a good value, may not completely satisfy me long term from a sq perspective. I only want to upgrade my amp once.

Thanks,
Bill

If your trying to go SQ you need to look higher than RF, audison, image dynamics, even alpine are better, focal, sound stream and so on. These would be much better suited for a SQ setup.

Matt-
It should have been clear from the thread that I want to move away from RF.

Which amp I choose is going to be largely determined by specs and size. It makes no sense to select an amp which will not fit.

You probably know as much as anyone as to installations in the Z. Where/how can I fit an amp larger than the Alpine or the JL for a stealthy install?

Alpine, JL, and audison, and focal "FPS" fit just fine behind the seats under the foam piece.

Sorry I quickly read through the thread. Must of read over that part.
