Fosgate used to be reputable. Used to be one of the best. As of lately
they've gone downhill fast.

I want to use Alpine's Type X speakers with my new Eclipse headunit,
hopefully,
the SPX-F17T 3-way system. This particular speaker setup can handle 75
watts
per channel of RMS power, and I've been told that it's a good idea to get
an
amp that's slightly more powerful than what your speakers can handle, that
way
the gains can stay low, and there's less chance of damage to the amp.
Alpine's
MRV-F540 was a runner up, but at 12 volts (what I assume my car will be
giving
the amp while it is running), it's power drops to 50x4, short of what I'm
looking for. JL Audio's 300/4 was reccomended to me, but with 75x4 of RMS
power, it's only just barely powerful enough, and I'd probably need to
keep
it's gains turned all the way up. I noticed that Rockford has an amp in
their
Power Series that's rated at 110x4 @ 4 OHMS. Even if this output was rated
at
14 volts, I have to assume that an amp this powerful could clear 80 watts
or
more per channel with a 12 volt input. But I'm concerned that Rockford is
crap,
mainly because I only see low-end retail stores like Best Buy selling it.
Is
there a concensus on RF products?
