Im guessing your gonna be running subs with it. I would go with the alpine amp. Its a class D amp and will run cooler and will work better with your subs. It has a subsonic filter on it which is important for a ported box. The alpine puts out more wattage by 150 watts. I dont like how the rockford amps mount. I had a 401S bridged at 4 ohms and it alwasy ran very hot and would cut off sometimes.

Ok im done. Get the alpine.

i have a RF sub/cap/amp/wires setup. i love it. (see pics in my profile)

but get the alpine. its a higher quality amp and most likely has a better S/N ratio.

If you don't want to do JL audio then do alpine RF is just loud its not nearly as good of sound quality

What subs will you be running.

Guys, guys guys....don't talk about SQ here...it's subs - you won't tell the difference in brands - you will only with power...

RF amps have been proven to be good in the SQ department, so that's not a good alley to go down...

That said, I'd go for the alpine - more power...
