Eclipse...

Eclipse amps are excellent as well.

They definitely are not cheap, though. You'll spend as much if not more than you would on Alpine.

I have the Alpine MRD-M500 V12 series amp. Excellent choice!!! Great power, great sound. This amp can make generic subs sound good. It has a digital read out that displays either the voltage, the amps, or temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius
